Live from Dallas, Texas
[The Royal Rumble officially begins with Shane McMahon and Shawn Michaels both standing in the ring apparently ready to address the SOOL Universe.]
Shane McMahon: Welcome to the Royal Rumble! It’s finally here, the one night in SOOL where we begin a path on the Road to WrestleMania. Honestly, I think the Royal Rumble match may just be my favorite match of the entire year. I mean it’s just so unpredictable with so many random superstars being involved at so many different time frames where it’s literally up for anyone to win. Now this year, I am confident that a member of the Corporation will win the Royal Rumble match, then go on to headline WrestleMania 6 and finally bring the World Heavyweight Championship home where it belongs. I can say this because in addition to the Corporate members that will compete in the Rumble...
[Shane McMahon passes the microphone over to Shawn Michaels.]
::Commissioner Michaels:: "The Heartbreak Kid" has officially entered his name into the fray. That's right! Later on this evening, yours truly will enter this very ring to compete in a match that happens only ONCE a year! Thirty identical dreams with one common goal in mind, THIRTY men will fight for the chance of a lifetime, a shot at the ultimate prize...but only ONE will come out on top. This type of match has a lot of writing behind it considering what is at stake, there are no alliances...it's kill or be killed. I realize what one must do in order to win so I know The Corporation will do what's best for business...so may the best man win tonight.
Oh and least I forget, tonight in the World Heavyweight Championship encounter between Bray Wyatt and Jake Roberts..."The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels will be at ringside as the LAW and ORDER of match just as to ensure that the peace is withheld and that we have a winner.
[Shawn passes the microphone back to Shane.]
Shane McMahon: That’s right, Shawn. That’s exactly why I want you out there tonight. I want you to prevent any shenanigans from taking place. I know Wyatt and Stephanie would try and pull some crap in order for Wyatt to retain. I’m sure there’s nothing they wouldn’t do in order to keep the World title in their grasp. Sooner or later, we’re going to win this war, crush the Resistance, claim the World title and prove once and for all that the Corporation is what’s best for business because we simply are the best in the business.
[Shane and Shawn leave the ring together now as Shawn can’t help but smirk and with a look confidence that he is going to win the Royal Rumble with ease tonight.]
Fading to the locker room, the camera comes onto Nash tightening his armband whilst stretching his triceps. A moment later, Sting comes into view with his bag and title in had sits just a couple locker from his partner for tonight. He gives Nash a nod in acknowledgement, who returns one in kind, and unzips his bag to get ready.
Nash: *Looking to Sting whilst switching arms* Well, tonight's the night.
Sting: *Keep his eyes on his bag*....Yeah
Nash: You ready?
Sting:...stupid questions don't deserve an answer.
Nash: Well, that's certainly a helpful tone.
Sting: *Stopping his unpacking, he turns to Nash with an icy stare* Before you get the wrong idea, let me make one thing clear: We may be partners, but we aren't comrades, we aren't allies, and we sure is hell ain't friends. We're taking those titles from The Shield tonight, but that's all that will be connecting us.
Nash: *Finished with his arms, he turns and stares forward*...Is that why you saved me or is that a stupid question too?
Sting: Don't be ridiculous.
Nash: *Glaring at Sting* Then why?
Sting: *Looks at Nash with a smirk on his face* The score is 1-1, remember.
After a few seconds to make sure he heard that, Nash turns back forward with the shake of the head and a chuckle. The camera fades out as they continue their preparation in silence, Nash taking extra care to stretch his quadriceps this time.
Tag Team Champions, The Shield vs. Kevin Nash & Hardcore Champion, Sting
*The Royal Rumble continues as John Cena is now being seen entering a room backstage. Cena is walks further into the room and the camera zooms out to reveal a man in a black suit standing next to the official SOOL Royal Rumble number ball tumbler. Cena is here to pick his official entrance number for tonight’s Royal Rumble match.*
John Cena: Alright buddy, I’m here to get my official number. Go ahead and get the tumbler rolling.
*The man in the suit now begins to start the tumbler and after a few rolls he stops, unlatches the door and steps aside to let Cena have his choice.*
John Cena: Alright, here we go.
*Cena reaches in and grabs one of the balls and opens it to reveal his official entry number for this evening. Cena accepts his number and takes a deep breath. Cena then speaks aloud.*
John Cena: Well that’s surely going to be interesting. Well, I got to get ready and go to work and punch my ticket to WrestleMania.
*Just then as Cena is beginning to head out of the room,, he stops as he sees the next man enter the room to grab his number for this evening.*
John Cena: Well hey there friend. That was quite the altercation we had on Smackdown.
*The camera pans out to reveal the man is none other than Cena’s tag team partner, Alberto Del Rio.*
John Cena: So we’re cool right? I mean you tried to one up me and throw me out of the ring to make a statement I presume? Look, I’m good, I get it. You want the Universe to know that you’re going to win the Royal Rumble. The problem with that is, that I’m going to win the Royal Rumble tonight.
Alberto Del Rio: Yeah sorry about that brother, you know how it is, sometimes the adrenaline just starts flowing and thing's just happen when you get in the heat of the moment, it was nothing personal. Our friendship means the world to me but we both know friendship goes out the window tonight. The Royal Rumble is the golden ticket to the main event of Wrestlemania. One man will defeat twenty nine others and earn himself a World Heavyweight Championship match in the main event of Wrestlemania, and I want that match John.
Alberto Del Rio: We both know that I never got my rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship, well now I'm going to TAKE it. I'm not gonna let anything get in my way John. No man, no element, no force will be great enough stop me from main eventing Wrestlemania once more and once again walking out of Wrestlemania as the SOOL World Heavyweight Champion. However, I'm not foolish John, I know there's a giant target on my back. Matter of fact, there's a giant target on both of our backs. We've got this influx of hungry talent joining the company lately and you know they wanna make a name for themselves, and what better way to do that then by punking the two biggest names in SOOL right now, Alberto Del Rio and John Cena. We both know we're not gonna let that happen.
Alberto Del Rio: Bottom line is this John, I wish we both could win this match and go on to Wrestlemania to have a Triple Threat Match with the World Champion and tear the house down, we both deserve that opportunity, sadly only one of us can have it and tonight I plan on taking it. However, we both know things don't always go as plan, I might get thrown out, but you best believe I'm gonna do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen. I just want you to know that I'm out to win, but if things get messy I've got your back John. If I get thrown over that top rope and eliminated, I want you to fight off those little perro's John. Show them who's boss and claim your spot in the Wrestlemania Main Event John. We both deserve that match, and one of us will win the Royal Rumble tonight and take it.
Del Rio extends his hand to Cena, Cena quickly accepts Del Rio's handshake and the two share a quick bro hug before the show cuts to an ad break.
*camera cuts to a ref shirt the camera quickly moves and Jimmy Jacobs is smiling*
.:Jimmy Jacobs:.
Shane has given me great power tonight. I can tell you all this. I am going to make it hard as possible for a winner to come out! I hate both of these men. Everytime I look at them I get sick to my stomach because they think they are the future of SOOL.
*Jacobs laughs*
.:Jimmy Jacobs:.
If they are really "our future" here in SOOL. We are heading into a terrible direction. I must correct this. Another reason I thank Shane for tonight is basically I can beat some common sense into this two idiots. I get to show these two they can't hang with top dogs like myself. Then after the match they may rethink their career here. Tonight will end everything between us three. Cause I am gonna beat them to a point to know they can't fuck with me! They can't get inside my head and try to throw my game off. No one has ever done that to me and if these neanderthals think they will be the first to do so they have another thing coming.
*Jacobs laughs and then smiles*
.:Jimmy Jacobs:.
Also, tonight is the Royal Rumble. I have been selected to take part in it this years Rumble. I will beat everyone who comes down my way and when I win I am trying to decide how will I beat the champion? I am really hoping its Wyatt. So I can prove I am the really crazy one down in these parts. Dean doesn't have anything on me either. I want better competition, and I guess winning the rumble will do that for me. Everyone who is in the rumble tonight I am paying attention to all the faces who come on camera and say they are in it tonight. I already have an idea how to take you out before your even done talking! I can't wait until I am able to beat up each and every single one of you. It will make my day now excuse me I have a match to enforce.
*Jacobs smiles and walks away*

Special Enforcer: Jimmy Jacobs
*The camera cuts to a dark room and a creepy laughs starts softly and becomes louder with each laugh and a pair of boots comes into light and the camera pans up the man*
.:Leo Kruger:.
Tonight. I have two things to gain. New trophies, Edge and Shane Douglas. Do I even care about this United States title shot? not really. What I want is to destroy these two men. I want to hear them beg for the beating to stop. If I do somehow end up winning this prize. It's just a plus. Nothing more would bring more joy to me than hearing their bones snap.
*Kruger laughs*
.:Leo Kruger:.
Also since it is the Royal Rumble. I will be in the Rumble tonight. I wonder how many trophies I shall claim.
*Kruger grabs his hair and run his fingers through it*
.:Leo Kruger:.
Part of my revenge begins tonight. I will take some people out and claim them as my trophy. Dreams will be crushed by my hand, and all I can do is smile. It brings me great pleasure when I ruin others dreams and I accomplish what they wanted to do.
*Kruger pauses and smiles*
.:Leo Kruger:.
Before a hunter can take out his prey. He must destroy it from the inside out, and I will do just that! Now if you excuse me. I have some trophies to go claim!
With the music blaring over the speakers, the fans were certainly surprised to see that familiar face stepping down the entrance ramp. Heather Sunderland made her way down, quite the serious, stern expression on her face, every step made was done with a purpose. She climbed up the steps, climbing into the ring, dressed in a simple dark purple dress. Elegant enough, but keeping the picture of this being quite the serious business related appearance. She looked around at the fans before calling for the mic, her music dying down.
"Here's the thing. Our administrative board has been quite caught up in their own little war it seems. Stephanie McMahon at war with Shane McMahon and Shawn Michaels, our commissioner. In the midst of all this, the superstars who aren't involved in the 'war' have been lost in confusion. As of right now, this will end. We need a neutral party, and I have returned to all of you to provide this."
She took a look around the arena one more time, taking a deep breath before nodding her head.
"In the coming weeks, I will be standing by the ones who are smart enough to not get caught in the crossfire. The ones who are smart enough to not pick a side in this dispute of a power hungry commissioner and his supporters and a justice and right driven administrative member. I commend Stephanie for trying to bring order to this whole situation but the war instead has just driven our focus further away from what SOOL is all about. Fighting for that coveted World Heavyweight Championship!"
The crowd cheers loudly at her words as she nods her head again, bringing the mic up to her lips for one last time.
"Speaking of that title..I've heard that Shane decided that Shawn Michaels should be a special enforcer in the World Title match tonight. Now I apologize to Stephanie for using one of the men on her side of this little war, but in order to prevent Shawn Michaels from ruining this World Title match and at all influencing the result, I'm going to place Jeff Hardy as a second special enforcer to keep our commissioner in check! Now, onto the movement of bringing the focus solely back to the World Title--next months Pay-Per-View you can expect to see this movement returning. I'm here to announce SOOL's Pay-Per-View event for February 2015....In Your House: Special Delivery!"
The crowd erupts in an uproar of cheers again, Heather having quite the grin on her face as her music hit the speakers again. She climbed out of the ring, high-fiving a few fans on the ramp as she made her way up the ramp, heading through the curtains to the backstage area.
Rene Young: “Big Show could I ask you a couple of questions before the Rumble match tonight?”
Big Show: “Sure Young. But make it quick I have to prepare myself.”
Renee Young: “This is your debut in the Royal Rumble match. What is your strategy going into it?”
Big Show: “I just made my SOOL debut just a couple of weeks ago. So the other participants won’t really expect anything from me. They will expect me to be slow which I will use to my advantage and of course I’m 7 feet tall so it should not be hard to lift guys out and chuck them over the top rope and it's going to be hard for someone to get me over the top rope. And try to have a low profile if everyone in the ring starts to see me as a threat, then they’re all going to start ganging up on me throw me over.”
Renee Young: “And if you do win the Rumble?”
Big Show: “Well I know I’m going to get allot of slack. I know all the guys in the back are going to be upset that a rookie takes there spot in the main event of Wrestlemaina after all the years they put into SOOL. But I’ve going to prove that I deserve it. I’m going to prove that I’m world championship material”
United States Champion, Shane Douglas vs. Edge vs. Leo Kruger
SOOL's Royal Rumble returns from a thirty second pay per view advertising break and the camera pans the arena to showcase the thousands of SOOL fans in attendance.
The thousands of fans in attendance instantly jump to there feet as the Dolph Ziggler's theme begins to blast throughout the arena. Dolph steps through the curtain and is the recipient of a massive pop. It is obvious that large majority of the fans in attendance tonight are Dolph Ziggler fans. Dolph hasn't been seen in months and the crowd is certainly happy to see him here tonight. Dolph is wearing his pink "you wish you could" t-shirt and a pair of jeans with some white sneakers. Dolph spins around on stage and does what he does best, show off for the crowd. He spins back around and makes his way down the ramp slapping a few lucky fans hands along the way. Dolph climbs the steps and enters the ring for the first time in months, he walks around the ring taking in the massive amounts of fans in attendance for one of SOOL's biggest pay per view of the year, the Royal Rumble. Dolph walks over to the edge of the ring and signals for a mic. A ringside tech grabs one from the ringside area and walks over to Dolph to hand him the microphone, Dolph accepts it and walks back to the center of the ring where he waits for his music to die down before speaking.
(Dolph Ziggler)
It's been a long time...It's been a long time since I've been in this ring. It's been a few months to be exact. Now sure a few months ain't exactly a long time, but I've truly not been in this ring for a long time now. My head has not been in this ring for a long, long, long time now. When I first started training to become a wrestler my number one focus was to be the best damn wrestler I could possibly be. Day in and day out I trained my ass off, working on my technical skills every single day. I would work myself till I could work no more to become the best damn wrestler I could be, and I think it paid off. I think after all those years of blood sweat and tears that I can finally say I am the best wrestler on this planet. Sadly the actual wrestling part of this business is now a sideshow. I learned that as I was away nursing my leg injury over the past few months.
(Dolph Ziggler)
Dolph Ziggler learned alot of things during my time away. I learned the corporate, political scumbags have effectively sucked the life out of pro wrestling for you guys. They've effectively sucked the life out of pro wrestling for us guys in the back. The people running the show care not about you the fans, they care about that $40 you spent on that ticket to come watch this joke of a product. They don't care whether you enjoyed the show or not, they care about the $10 you spent on that soda, or the $8 you spent on that hot dog. I gotta give em credit, they put on a pretty convincing act trying to brainwash you guys acting as though they care about your opinion of this place, well I got news for ya, THEY DON'T. They don't give a damn about you guys and they sure as hell don't care about us guys in the back busting our asses night in and night out.
(Dolph Ziggler)
My leg injury was the best thing to ever happen to me because it let me see the bigger picture. It let me see that pro wrestling is extinct, the wrestling "business" is in full swing. The money making machine is in full swing and the product is a complete and utter joke. It's run by corrupt, money greedy, idiots who only look out for themselves. Let me paint the picture for you guys, back there it's kill or be killed. You either sell out and join the Has-Been-Kid and his orchestra of crap, or you can be like me and come out here every night and try to convince yourself that this is still an honest "wrestling" organization where opportunities are earned. All this is now is a place where opportunities are handed to lackeys on a silver damn platter and I'm done with it. I'm done busting my ass for this company and getting nothing in return, no opportunities, nothing but the shaft because I refuse to convert to there religion, That's right people Dolph Ziggler refuses to convert to the religion of greed and corruption.
(Dolph Ziggler)
So before you guys start chanting "Dolph, please don't go", just understand this.......
(Dolph Ziggler)
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!! matter of fact I'm arriving to the new era of SOOL and I'm bringing hell with me. I'm fully healed up now, no more sitting on the sidelines, I'm back and I'm here to change things. I'm here to restore Honor, Credibility, and Legitimacy to this once great company. I can't do that by sitting on the sidelines, I can't do that by keeping my mouth shut any longer and letting those bastards take advantage of me any longer. So take that for what it's worth Commissioner, I'm not on your side nor will I ever be. So I guess that means I'm on Team Stephanie right?
(Dolph Ziggler)
WRONG!!!! What's worse joining an old bitter man like HBK, or joining the Billionaire Princess who's clearly playing you all like a fiddle. Soon as she gains your trust she'll take advantage of you all in the back and all of you in attendance for all she can before stabbing you all in the back and laughing in your face. I'm not falling for that, I'm on my own side, the side that gives you all product and a company to be proud of. I know there's alot of Ziggler haters out there, that's fine you don't have to like me, I'm not doing this to be liked. I'm doing this because not only can I not take this anymore on a worker level, but you fans deserve more. You fans deserve to be appreciated because with out you guys pro wrestling is nothing. So if ya don't like me, so be it, I just hope you can respect what I'm fighting for.
(Dolph Ziggler)
So fight is exactly what I'm here to do, it's time to start fighting, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. As of this moment I'm here to announce myself as an entrant in tonight's Royal Rumble Match! I am gonna throw anyone who gets in my way over the top rope and "earn" a World Heavyweight Championship Match at Wrestlemania, and that's just the start. Tonight change is officially in full swing.
Dolph smiles and looks to the back when suddenly it is none other than "The mad scientist of extreme" himself Paul Heyman and he doesn't have his normal smirk while he makes his way to the ring. He has almost a stoic and cold almost concerned look as he glances past Dante Labrie and Michael Santana. He makes his way up the steps to stare Dolph right in the eye before motioning for a mic.
(Paul Heyman)
Ladies and Gentlemen my name is Paul Heyman and I am pretty sure you are all tired of hearing the same bullshit that you are being fed night in and night out.
Crowd Erupts as they are in agreement that something big needs to happen and is going to happen.
(Paul Heyman)
Now Dolph that was a superb speech you just gave and I would hate to have to be the one who has to count all the zeros that are going to be at the end of that fine that our favorite billionaire family are going to deliver to you. But I digress. Now i know what everyone including yourself are all asking. "What in the hell is Paul Heyman out here at the Royal Rumble?" Well I will let you all know that I am here because the words you said have struck a bit of a chord with me.
Heyman gets closer to Dolphs face as he is about to deliver his purpose.
(Paul Heyman)
You know something Dolph? I like you. I like the hell out of you. You got something that i quite frankly think is lacking around here in the hearts of most in the crowd as well as in that locker room and that's Balls. Not since i was rummaging around in the land of extreme have i seen someone with as much Tenacity for this business as well as like i said "Cahones" ,Balls,and Grapefruits. You know? The fire that burns inside your stomach to recognize bullshit when you see it!
Crowd is eating this up as Heyman is blurring the lines between reality and Show.
(Paul Heyman)
Yea? you like that? You wanna shoot? Fuck it. Were gonna shoot. So many people in this company over the last few months have been wearing rose colored glasses and have essentially given in to the regurgitated filth that is this product. And day after day night after night you people have supported it by showing up to the shows buying the merchandise and ordering the pay per views! But not you Dolph. You have seen through this clouded storm of premature burial that is SOOL! And you have persevered. Sure you have been on the sidelines for a bit. That's OK. Your healed now. And its obvious you wanna start a war. Well guess what? To win a war you are going to need good soldiers.
Paul pauses for a second as the crowd is fired up and Ziggler though hasn't said anything is obviously intrigued.
(Paul Heyman)
Now i know what everyone is thinking. "Holy shit Heyman is gonna fight!" No you bunch of knuckle dragging marks. Not today. I'm a little out of shape. However I do have a man that would fit your cause just perfectly.
Heyman points to the stage and A new theme hits.
(Paul Heyman)
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE KING OF SWING!! CESARO!!!!
Cesaro steps through the curtain and makes his way down the ramp doing his signature machine gun taunt, he then points at Ziggler and nods with a huge smile on his face while on his way down to the ring. He gets in and Gives Heyman a big hug and Heyman mouths the words to Dolph "This is your guy".
Dolph stands there for a moment sizing up Heyman and Cesaro, one could only wonder what thoughts are going through Dolph's head. "Is it too good to be true?", "why would Heyman all of a sudden help him?". Dolph ponders these thoughts along with many more as he just stares at Heyman and Cesaro who both have huge smiles on there faces. After what seemed like an eternity (in reality only about thirty seconds), Dolph slowly raises the mic to his mouth when all of a sudden.....
The crowd erupts in boo's as "The Corporation's Celtic Warrior" Sheamus' theme hits rudely interrupting Dolph Ziggler cutting him off before he could speak. Sheamus storms out of the curtain with a look of absolute rage and anger on his face. He races down the ramp with the quickest speed walk we've ever seen. Before you know it Sheamus is stepping through the ropes and entering the ring going face to face with Heyman, Cesaro, and Dolph. Sheamus pulls a mic out of his trunks and immediately begins to speak, much to the crowd's dismay.
(Sheamus)
So you who in the hell do you tree fella's tink you are huh? Da nerve of you guys comin out here and insultin the Corporation. I was just in da back dare sittin down enjoyin me pint when I get a text from Shane O Mac tellin me to come out here and crash dis little party, So here I am.....
(Paul Heyman)
Well far be it from me to stop you from whatever you were ordered to do Mr. Sheamus. However allow me to pick your brain for a second, what exactly are you gonna do Sheamus? What exactly did the master manipulator Shane Brandon McMahon order you to do? He order you to come out here and "take care of business" like he does all of his other mindless sheep. Let's be clear on something folks, my name is Paul Heyman and I am the greatest manager in the history of pro wrestling and I am also a slimeball Jew from New York City.
(Paul Heyman)
See folks I am not ashamed to admit who I am, the McMahon's on the other hand, different story. Ya see Sheamus you have been nothing more than a slave to Shane McMahon's agenda for more then a year now. Now think about that for a second Sheamus, try and look past all of the money thrown in your face and seriously think about that. Look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what exactly has being there bitch boy got you fella? I'll tell ya what it's got ya Sheamus, it's gotten you a moniker as the biggest joke in this company. A guy who does all of the Corporation's dirty work and has gotten absolutely nothing in return. As a business man I for one know they have a term for your working relationship between you and the Corporation, BAD BUSINESS.
(Paul Heyman)
So let me spell out exactly how this is gonna go down fella. You're either going to "attempt" to carry out the Corporation's orders and" try" to put an end to this little business discussion we're having, or you could wake up from this little nightmare that you call your career for the past year and join us. Now being the genius that I am I can tell you that option one is probably not best for your career and your health. Sure you will have obeyed Master Shane's order's but you will have been put down by my client the "King Of Swing" Cesaro. Now I know you enjoy being Shane's little puppy dog Sheamus but I for one think it's time for a change for you big man. I don't want to have any beef with you Sheamus. I am a business man, I put my personal feelings aside to do what's best for my business which is managing talent. I know you are a special talent Sheamus, you're big, you're strong, but most of all you're a fighter with lots of heart and I for one am sick of that all being thrown out the drain because you've had the Shane and HBK literally throw money at you to do there dirty work.
(Paul Heyman)
So I'm offering you the chance of a lifetime Sheamus, join us and we will create the most unstoppable unit of talent ever assembled in the history of this company. Think about it, "The Celtic Warrior", "The Great White" Sheamus. "The Swiss Superman", "The King Of Swing" Cesaro. and The bleach blonde show stealing perfectionist himself, Dolph Ziggler.
(Paul Heyman)
So what's it gonna be fella?
Paul extends his hand to Sheamus with Cesaro right by his side watching Paul's back while Dolph watches from the other side of the ring. Sheamus nods his head up and down and shakes Paul's hand.
(Sheamus)
I'm in fellas.........
(Dolph Ziggler)
Ya know Paul, I still haven't given you an answer.
(Paul Heyman)
See that's where you're wrong Dolph, you did already give me answer. If there was any real doubt in your mind about this whole thing, A. you wouldn't have come out here and spoke your mind in such a no holds barred fashion, and B. You could've just walked out of here when Myself and Sheamus were having our little conversation.
(Dolph Ziggler)
Damn Paul, everything they say about you is true, you are quite the genius. I'm in!
Dolph shakes Paul's hand then proceeds to shake Cesaro's and Sheamus.
(Dolph Ziggler)
Corporation, Resistance, take this as an official declaration of war. We will have ZERO alliance to either of you as our only alliance will be with each other. We are one alliance united and we are literally gonna steal this show from you, and give it back to it's original owners, the SOOL Universe. SHOW OFF!
The camera fades to black and the show heads to a commercial break.
Wade Barrett is walking around backstage. For the first time in a month we finally get to see him after his defeat to Bray Wyatt at Cyber Sunday. Why hasn’t he appeared since the loss?
Wade Barrett:
Well, well, well look who it is, you say to yourself. The bets have been placed, the predictions have been made and the statements have been bold but everyone in SOOL has forgotten about one man. You see it’s been almost a month since my defeat at the hands of Bray Wyatt. A match where I threw everything at the World Champion. I beat him to a pulp, man to man. I had the man beat; a man who so many fear was standing at my feet like a complete an utter peasant. If that match had been scored by judges like a UFC or boxing match I would have won the fight unanimously yet the victory went to my opponent. Wyatt got up at a 9 count. If we were in any other match type I would be standing here with a glistening gold belt over my shoulder and Wyatt knows that. He may spout his prophecies and his riddles but no one can deny that I have that man’s number and tonight I will be dialling for a rematch.
Wade Barrett:
Everyone watched that main event and quite frankly I proved that I should be fighting with the best each and every week. Yet my first match to be booked after Cyber Sunday was against Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe has won one match in about 27 matches, he’s slow and useless and he is not worth my time. As the weeks continued on it would be the same old opponents and I soon began to realise that there was only one way I was going to get back where I truly belong and that is here tonight in the Royal Rumble match. Last year I didn’t get the chance to compete as I was fighting for the title but my credentials are perfect for this match. I fought on the streets of England. I know my way around danger, I know who not to trust and I will eliminate you no matter what your name is. I am 6’7, 270 pounds and I don’t care who you are or how quick you are, if you step in the ring a big guy is going to be able to dominate you and throw you around the ring and that’s what I intend to do tonight.
Wade Barrett:
Of course there are many that stand in my way to reach this prestigious prize. Names such as John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, The Shield, Jeff Hardy, Shawn Michaels and the list goes on. Some have even won previous rumbles but they are merely stepping stones on a much larger journey. I eliminated the most men in 2011 and four years on I will do it again only this time I will win it all. As for the Champion, I honestly don’t care who it is. I know I have one’s number and the others I know I can beat and it’s not personal between me and them, it’s personal between me and the World Championship. It has eluded me my entire career but this is the time for the Barrett Barrage to take what has been ripped away from me time after time and I won’t take any prisoners in doing so.
The camera comes to life with the face of Bray Wyatt, the belt in his lap as he sits, stroking it.
{{Bray Wyatt}}
I've had several people wish to know what is going through my mind, whether I'd like to say anything. Honestly, I have nothing to say. Everything that was needed to be said was said as I beat Roberts down on the last episode. I wasn't myself, I wasn't, right in doing that. But it happened. I can not take that back Jacob. Nor can you take back your profane remarks towards my little sister. We make mistakes, but your biggest mistake, will be realized tonight as we step into that ring. Then, once we are finished, I will leave you, broken and defeated and set my sights on the Rumble. The place where my opponent for the stage of the immortals will be crowned. I care not for the place where I have to defend before then, because it doesn't matter to me. What does matter to me though, is Dean. I beg of you to spark the war tonight, but I know you will not. For you are afraid. Just like Jacob is. Run, dear Dean. Run.
The screen fades out as Bray giggles out the package.
World Heavyweight Champion, Bray Wyatt vs. Jake Roberts
*The 2015 SOOL Royal Rumble pay per view continues as the silence of the crowd is broken by the playing of the Intercontinental Champion’s infamous theme.*
*The crowd isn’t too pleased to know they are being joined by Jericho of all people as the majority of them begin to boo him. Then Jericho walks out from the back staring out amongst all the people that quite frankly don’t like him all too well.*
*Jericho couldn’t really care much less what they think of him as he enters the ring and begins to further antagonize the crowd. Jericho points out to them and forces a reaction out of them one way or the other as he thrives off of their disapproval.*
*Then as the music begins to die down, the boos of the crowd seem to be getting amplified by the second. Jericho then smirks as he isn’t bothered by the jeers and boos at all whatsoever. Jericho even has the audacity to shush the crowd, so that he may speak.*
*This receives a mixed reaction from the crowd. Some actually begins to quiet down as other are even more annoyed by Jericho’s antics and continue to boo him. Regardless of that, Jericho still decides to address the SOOL Universe.*
~Chris Jericho || Intercontinental Champion~
Now if you all could please just shut the Hell up for a moment, I have a few things I need to say. However, despite how much you all love me and how much I simply loathe all of you, I do understand how monumental of an occasion this is tonight for all of SOOL. It’s obvious that regardless if you hate me or love, that you have to respect me for being the greatest champion that SOOL has ever seen. I mean face facts people, I, Jericho… Chris Jericho, am a walking, breathing, undeniably bonafide living legend! I am remarkably rewriting the SOOL history book every single day that I remain champion.
~Chris Jericho || Most Successful Title Defenses (12)~
This past week on Smackdown, I once again proved to the entire SOOL Universe, whether you’re a fan, an authority figure, a company employee or just another wrestler, that I am the very best SOOL has to offer. I keep on doing things that people could only dream of doing and in even their dreams, they still couldn’t measure up to my success. I single handedly, and once again I might add, defeated Alberto Del Rio to retain my Intercontinental Championship for a record breaking twelfth time. That’s right people, you’re looking at the record holder for the most championship title defenses, and not only for the Intercontinental Championship, but for any championship in SOOL history. I hold the record of twelve straight successful title defenses surpassing the previous record of eleven title defenses. Oh wait a minute, I forgot to mention, I was the previous record holder and I broke my own record because if anyone could even think of breaking any of my records, you better believe that I’m the one to do it.
~Chris Jericho || Longest Title Reign (1 year and 5 days and counting)~
That’s right, as I’ve said it time and time again, I am the best in the world at what I do. I have beaten them all and Del Rio was no different, just another unworthy challenger that got put down by the greatest champion of all time. There is no denying it people, because I have been champion for three hundred and seventy days. For those of you who are too stupid to know how long that is, that’s more than one year as champion completely untouched, unthreatened and unopposed in every aspect in and out of this ring. My title reign has been longer than most of you have held jobs, or longer than your latest relationship. And that only goes to those of you who could even possibly get a date as I’m sure some of you haven’t even been on a date in the last three hundred and seventy days.
~Chris Jericho ||The Odds on Favorite to win the 2015 Royal Rumble~
Yeah you can boo all you want because that’s the only thing that you can do about it. You guys are all pathetic, but that’s enough about you ignoramuses, this is my time and tonight is my night because this is where I get in the fast lane on the Road to WrestleMania. And I’ll be the only one in that fast lane after I win the Royal Rumble match tonight. I don’t care who I have to go through because I'm the best SOOL has to offer and it is every man for himself, and I for one know that my fellow corporate allies know that we should work as a unit to get rid of the useless trash that will be in the Rumble with us before we settle out differences at the end because that's what best for business. Although, the fact of the matter is that I am what's best for business and I am the chosen one to win the Royal Rumble match, because I’ve done wonders as the Intercontinental Champion, so just you wait for when I become the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania Six because you assclowns ain’t seen nothing yet.
*Jericho then drops the microphone as his music begins to play and he has quite the intense look on his face. Jericho looks focused as he always does when he has everything on the line. Jericho exits the ring and makes his way to the back as the camera cuts to a promo package on this years 30-Man Royal Rumble match!*
Samoa Joe; tonight is my chance to headline sool wrestlemania and i will put my life on the line tonight just to win this match tonight and i will do any thing to win this is the big one i will walk out in to this arena and do my best
We see Edge backstage pacing around angrily
Edge
What? Oh you want my thoughts on the Rumble?
Edge
Well you see....I'm not focusing on winning....I just want Kruger to know what He's cost me twice now...
Edge
My main reason for being in the Rumble? Eliminate Kruger...Shame Kruger....SPEAR KRUGER!!!
Edge
He's cost me for the last TIME! Now it's my turn to cost him something....Kruger, watch your back...
James Storm: Why do I think will win the Royal Rumble and headline Wrestlemania and win the World Heavyweight Title ..... Because I will do whatever it takes and 29 other superstars better be ready because James Storm is ready and I will win the Royal Rumble and win the World Heavyweight title. SORRY ABOUT ..... Nah I am not Sorry about your Damn Luck.
Kevin: Tonight, Tag Titles or no, I'm going to set another reminder to the entire locker room that there's still plenty of Diesel-fueled power left in Kevin Nash's old tank. The path is clear, with only a number of obstacles in my way. Rest assured, I'm throwing anyone and everyone out who even thinks of underestimating me. As for The Shield: *Leaning closer to the camera with a sly grin of determination appearing on his face* I do hope that you're in there with me, because there's a special place on my boot reserved for your pup faces.
We go backstage to see Zayn about to speak about the Royal Rumble match...
Zayn
You know, most people don't think I have any chance of winning...They think I'm still a "Rookie"
Zayn
That's fine they can doubt me if they want but they will be surprised when they are met with a Helluva kick right in their garbage spewing mouths and fly right off their high horse and fall flat outside the ring....
Zayn
Then only one man will be standing in that ring the winner....And it wil be...InZayn...
-Sting-
Starting to day, with the Road To WrestleMania kicking off, it is officially the year of the Scorpion! Im in it for the gold..., and tonight i will add another piece to my waist, with the help of Nash of course. And once thats over I will make my way to the rumble and i will be the last man standing in that ring, arm rose high, crowd going nuts. And me! Sting.. The ICON!.. Will make his way to Wrestlemania with nothing but success ahead...
