Live From Madison Square Garden in NY City
Theme: Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses
*Play Opening Promo*
We open to the roaring capacity Madison Square Garden fans, masses of pyro exploding off the small cage themed stage, the ring posts and rafters. The lights then come up and we pan the jam packed rabid crowd.
“Hello ladies and gentleman to Madison Square Garden! We are live from the big apple for one of the biggest shows of the year with one of the biggest matches of the year. This is the Royal Rumble! Jim Ross alongside Jerry “the King” Lawler! King we have arrived” JR’s voice cuts in.
“Oh yeah! Tonight is all about who will go to Wrestlemania JR! Who will win the Royal Rumble match? And who will be the one to face them? Tonight is the night we will find out JR! I love the Royal Rumble!” King replies.
“Indeed as well as the Royal Rumble match itself we have a women’s title match, a no DQ Women’s tag match to settle a score and of course the big World Wrestling Federation Championship match between Chris Sabin and AJ Styles. And indeed we will start out hot with that title match right now!”
“Right now?” Asks King on shock “we are kicking things off with a WWF title match? Wow!”
“Indeed it seems HBK wanted to start things off scorching hot folks. Here we go with our semi Main Event right now! Let’s go to Howard Finkle to get things going.”
WWF Championship
*Play Entrances/ In Ring announcements*
Sabin comes out alone due as we are told to his teammates having big matches to prepare for tonight. He requested it as such apparently.
“Wants all the glory for himself, typical” King comments.
They both now remove their entrance gear as the referee comes over and checks them both over. They both then steps forward out of their corners, AJ still with the WWF title around his waist. He then releases it and hands it to the official, not taking his eyes of Sabin who stares back in turn as the referee holds the belt up high and then hands it over to the timekeeper. The challenger and champion are now nose to nose as the light bulbs flash and then call for the bell. Sabin says something to AJ which gets a grin a replay as they break, the referee getting between them and then calls for the bell. Here we go.
They now launch forward and lock up in a collar and elbow tie up, AJ at once goes behind and locks in and rear waist lock, Sabin struggling to break the hands with his own and then does dropping the mat with the arm and locking in an arm lock on the mat, turning around as AJ stands, grabbing a rear waist lock, AJ the reverses that into a rear arm lock of his own on the mat, pushing Sabin down behind him face first, Sabin though is able to power to his feet and jump over the arm, standing and locking in a overhand wrist lock now. AJ reverses that into one of his own.
“A very mat based start to this match, surprising from two high flyers, especially Sabin” JR chimes in.
Sabin now jumps over the arm, then twists around to stand and reverses that back into his. AJ though is then able to get out of that and again lock in a rear waist lock, Sabin tries to break the hold but then reverse it into one of his own. AJ though breaks that and runs into the ropes, coming back and taking Sabin down with a shoulder tackle. But as AJ comes in on the attack Sabin brings up his legs and sends Styles over with the head scissors bringing him down to the mat. They then stands and go for each other again and AJ rushes being, jumping up and vice Sabin with his knees and drop back, rolling back and turning into a roll up for a quick 2 count. Both men take a moment as they break AJ standing and adjusting his knee pads and Sabin looks over at him and then stands. They circle each other again, and they got o lock up again but this time AJ pulls him right into to a standing side headlock. Sabin though then pushes him off into the ropes and then as AJ runs in leapfrogs over him, then runs the ropes and comes in but AJ now leapfrogs over him now and turns right into a standing side headlock from Sabin now who takes him over and locks in a headlock on the mat now.
“One thing’s for certain in this World title match folks is that this match isn’t about whose being paid the most or who has the best catchphrase. This match is about who is the best wrestler and the best wrestler will walk away the World Wrestling Federation Champion” JR calls as Sabin wrenches in on the hold. AJ though brings up and locks in a head scissors to reverse it, Sabin kips up out of it but AJ rolls over and stands, the two coming for each other again and now AJ takes Sabin down with the side headlock takedown. Sabin reverses that into a head scissors of his own now, AJ the one to kip out now. Sabin coming in going straight back for the headlock but AJ pushes off and reverses that into one of his own, which Sabin then reverses into a back drop but AJ is able to kick his feet down stop it, keeping the headlock applied. Sabin tries to get out of it and almost does until AJ gets out of it a sweeps the legs taking Sabin down and covering him, but Sabin kicks out before the 1. Both stand and go for each other again. AJ runs in with a running closeline but Sabin ducks underneath it the pace quickening now as AJ runs in again and now gets taken down with a hurricanrana that sends the Champion rolling out of the ring. AJ breathes hard and tries to take a moment to regroup on the outside as in the ring Sabin gestures him to come on. Sabin now runs up and goes to jump with the plancha but AJ runs right back into the right to avoid it, but Sabin sees that and lands feet first on the apron, then vaults straight back over into the ring and down onto AJ with the cross body into a cover for 2. Both men now stand straight up and stare each other down again now as the crowd erupts in applause. They then circle each other and then come in again, locking up when now AJ Irish whips Sabin into the ropes and then leapfrogs over him as he comes, in Sabin hitting the opposites and rebounding in, AJ now dropping down to let him pass over, Sabin crisscrossing and coming in again right into a picture perfect dropkick as only the Champion can deliver. Right into a cover for 2.
AJ now grabs Sabin and scoops slams him down, hitting the ropes and coming in and dropping the high knee across the face. Then as Sabin sits up he runs in and delivers a hard roundhouse to Sabin’s back. AJ then drops him to another cover for another 2 count. AJ now picks Sabin up and Irish whips him into the ropes but Sabin but on the breaks, pulls Styles in and turns it into a belly to belly suplex! As AJ arches his back in pain Sabin comes in now and covers for 2. Sabin picks AJ up and reels back, smashing into Styles with a few hard shots to the head and then whips him into the corner, runs in and brings up the running high knee, then grabs Styles out the corner and takes him over with a northern lights suplex for 2.
Sabin now lifts AJ off the mat and in return for earlier drives a hard roundhouse to his back now, then drops down and locks in a rear chin lock, driving the point of the knee into the back. Sabin keeps the hold locks in tight as the Champion is in deep trouble here, and when AJ doesn’t submit he breaks it and drives a hard elbow to the back before locking in a sleeper hold now. Styles now pumps his fists, getting his fans behind him and manages to get up onto his feet, AJ is now able to power onto his feet as the claps get louder and then drives the back of the elbow into Sabin’s gut over and over until he breaks the hold. AJ then runs into the ropes but Sabin ducks down for a back body drop so Styles twists him body over Sabin to land behind him and then runs in again right into a flapjack from Sabin driving Styles head into the mat, Sabin rolls right back from that keeping hold of the leg and locks in an Indian death lock now, whips his hair back as he pulls in the hold, AJ in a world of hurt but continuing to shake his head at the referee. Sabin though then breaks that and stands, locking in a single leg Boston crab now, pulling back on it but then AJ manages to grab the bottom rope to break it. He then runs back and drives a hard running elbow down into AJ 3 consecutive times. Then hits a spinning leg drop into a cover for 2.
Sabin now heaves AJ up by the head but then Styles comes to life and jumps up onto his shoulders, sending him flying out of the ring with the hurricanrana. Now it’s Sabin’s turn to get frustrated and walk around on the outside for a breather. But as he does AJ now runs over and uses the ropes to slingshot himself over and down onto Sabin with the springboard cross body plancha taking Sabin down! The two men now lay out of it on the mats as the crowd cheers and applauds them on to get back up. AJ then pulls Sabin up and throws him back into the ring now, coming in and covering for 2. AJ now picks Sabin up off the mat and now locks in an overhand wrist lock again, wrenching on it and yelling for Sabin to give it up. But Sabin shakes his head refusing to give in.
“So much on the line for this young man. He was elevated to singles stardom nearly 2 months ago now when he defeated Chris Jericho, and all that lead to this match, this night in Madison square garden. All his life he dreamed off this moment and he is the one who will have to make it true here and now” JR calls.
When he doesn’t give however AJ now hooks the arm, lifts Sabin up, spins him around and then drives him down across the knee with a gut buster! AJ then goes in, hooking the leg again for 1…2…NO! Sabin just manages to get the shoulder up.
AJ now picks Sabin up and hammers into him, then backs him into the ropes and rebounds him off with the Irish whip, then hits the spinning back kick taking Sabin down as he comes in. AJ now covers again for 2. AJ now lifts Sabin up and chops him, then a forearm sending him back into the corner, Sabin though fires back with a hard shot of his own. They now start trading shows back and forth, Sabin now firing away and taking the advantage out of that, turning AJ and beating him back into the corner now, Sabin firing away faster and faster which each forearm putting everything he has behind each and then grabbing the arm and whipping AJ over the ring and back first into the other corner, running in but AJ ducks down and sending Sabin over but Sabin manages to spin around and land feet first on the apron. Then as AJ turns he drives a forearm shot up into the head to send him back then leaps up onto the top rope for the springboard, but as he does AJ jumps up and dropkicks him off the top rope bringing him down gut first on the rope! The crowd let out a massive gasp for that as Sabin hangs there and then falls forward back into the ring holding his mid section in agonizing pain. AJ now comes back in and covers for 1…2….NO! Sabin just barely kicks out.
AJ then Irish whips Sabin into the ropes and now takes him down again with the capture power slam into the cover for 2 again. AJ now has his head on the mat, shaking his head and pounding the mat with his fist before standing. AJ now goes to whip Sabin into the ropes again but this time Sabin reverses it going behind and grabbing the waist, taking AJ down with a release German suplex. Both men now lay out on the mat as the crowd now comes alive clapping and stomping away to will them back to their feet, slowly they start to do so rising up into opposite corner and holding their hurt bodies before going for each other again and running for each other and taking each other down with double closelines! Both men lay out of it again now as the crowd again cheers then on to stand. Both men finally stand and in they go again Sabin blocking a right hand from AJ then chopping away at the chest, then going for the discuss elbow but AJ ducks and comes in going for the back suplex but Sabin rolls back from that right onto his feet behind AJ then runs in and nails AJ with the ensurguri!

Both men now get up again, AJ first obviously as he runs for the ropes and in on the rising Sabin, jumping up and spinning around his body, but Sabin catches him to counter that and turns it into a Sabilizer (swinging side slam backbreaker)! Running in and covering for 1….2….NO! AJ just kicks out! Sabin is now in control as he stands, his fans screaming him on as he now rises up to the top rope now.
“Sabin might do it here, he might make history! Go for it kid!” JR yells as he rises on the top rope.
He then flies off with an elbow drop but Styles moves out of the way leaving him to crash and burn! AJ now stands in firms control and runs up to the ropes, jumping up and over and down for the Stylin DDT…but Sabin twits out of it reversing it into a Future Shock for 1…2….NO!!! The crowd let out a massive collective on that one, they were sure it was over.
Sabin was too as he holds his head, head down on the mat, kicking his legs in frustration. He now stands and picks Styles up, going now for the Cradle shock lifting AJ up into the fireman’s carry for it, but AJ is able to twist around and turn it into a tornado DDT, covering for 1….2….NO!!! Again a massive gasp of shock from the crowd as Sabin kicks out.
AJ is now in a state of fatigue and disbelief as he rises and then heads to the outside and up onto the top rope rising up….when Sabin comes to life, runs the right up onto the top rope with him and sends him off the top with a super frakensteiner into a cover for 1…2….NO!!! AJ reveres it into a cover of his own for 1….2….NO! Sabin reverses it 1….2…NO!!! They finally break up the sequence, both collapsing to the mat as the crowd erupts in massive applause for both men. Sabin is the first to stand and goes to lift AJ up but AJ catches him into an inside cradle for 1….2…NO! Sabin kicks out and they break again!
Both men will themselves on, pulling their bodies up and go for each other, Sabin catching AJ and turning him into the scoop slam, but then taking him over and slamming him into the corner, placing him in the tree of woe. AJ hands there upside-down as Sabin backs off and runs in for the hesitation dropkick! But AJ pulls himself up onto the top rope at the last second leaving Sabin to slide and crotch himself on the ring post! That gets a massive gasp and wince from the crowd.
Sabin now stands holding his crotch and then turns as AJ rises up on the top rope and flies off with a moonsault….but Sabin catches him, twists him to stands then grabs both arms and drives him down with the double hammerlock piledriver! Covering as the crowed goes nuts for 1…2….NO!!!! AJ kicks out! The place is now wild and erupting in dueling chants for both men.
Sabin is now dripping with sweat as he stands and pulls AJ up, setting him up for the Cradle Shock again, but AJ twists out of it, kicking him in the gut, hooks him and nails the Styles Clash, hooking the legs for 1…2…3!
The arena is wild, giving both men a standing ovation as they both lay out on the mat. AJ then stands and gets his hand raised then is handed his world title, taking it and kissing it before holding it up high.
“Here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Champion! AJ Styles!” Finkle officially calls it.
Styles celebrates with the fans, getting up on the corner and holding the title up high as the place erupts for him again. The music though then dies as Sabin now stands to a big round of applause and cheer of him own. AJ nods and comes over, extending his hand, Sabin is holding himself as he nods and then takes it. The two shakes hands to a huge cheer for this sign of respect. Sabin then pats AJ on the back and takes off out of the ring, heading to the back and clapping hands with the fans up the aisle. But his head in low and when he looks back into the ring at the celebrating champion you can see the sadness in his eyes. He then takes off to the back as AJ holds up his title again. For now he is still the man.

We now come back and it’s time for the next contest.
Women’s NO DQ Tag Team Match
*Play Entrances*
Trish and Kong now stand side by side in a sight many thought they would never see, ready for their opponents who stand opposite them.
“This rivalry has become so heated, so personal. It means so much for these women to win here tonight. If Trish and Kong win then they will have halted the destruction that these dark women have brought to the women’s division over the past month. If Kendra and Daffney win then in their mind no one can stop them. No rules here, just a pure fight here” JR calls as the two women stare each other down, Daffney running her mouth while Trish just tells her to bring it.
The bell then rings and here we go, all four women run forward and start exchanging fists back and forth in furious fashion. Daffney managing to get advantage on Trish, Kendra on Kong, both simultaneously Irish whips their opponents but both at the same time but on the breaks and take them both down with a closeline from Trish and body splash from Kong. Trish then yells for Kong to hit the ropes which she does and goes to splash Kendra but Kendra moves leaving Kong to crash to the mat. Daffney meanwhile comes in behind Trish, grabs her by the hair and throws her hard across the ring towards the ropes with it. Trish rolls out under the bottom rope and Daffney pursues. Back in the Ring Kendra now heaves Kong up and body slams her, she then runs into the ropes and comes back off the ropes with a diving elbow. On the outside Trish has now overpowered Daffney with hard shots and now drives her face first off the crowd barrier. She then goes to the apron and under the ring, the crowd cheering as she pulls out a trash can with weapons all in it. She now takes the trash can lid and brings it down across the head of Daffney keeping him down, then throws it aside. She then goes and grabs herself a kendo stick, turning and reeling back with it but Daffney moves and Trish cracks the stick off the barrier and drops it, she then turns around just as Kendra runs the ring and flies though the ropes and down onto her with a suicide dive!
Kendra now stands and pulls Trish up; Irish whipping her into Daffney who has the trash can now and brings it down over Trish’s head as she comes in. But now on the apron comes down Kong with a diving axe handle taking Kendra out, she then turns to Daffney who grows wide eyed and runs, Kong giving pursuit but Daffney grabs herself a steel chair and as Kong comes around folds it and turns, but then gets it blasted off her face with a hard punch from Kong. That sends her down. Kendra now has stood and comes back around, turning Kong around and trading blows with her, back and forth they go until Kong grabs Kendra’s head and smashes it down onto the announce table. Trish has now stood and Kong yells for her to get in the ring, she does so as Kong throws Kendra in now and the two popular women now focus on the monster with Daffney still out of it. Trish nails a dropkick on Kendra sending her back into Kong who charges and takes her down with a closeline. Trish then heads to the top rope as Kong now brings in the steel chair and lays it over Kendra as Trish rises and then flies off with a diving splash, splashing down onto the chair onto Kendra. The crowd erupts for that one as Trish rolls away holding her ribs.
But on the outside now Daffney has risen and pulls out her leap pipe, the weapon she used to put both women down a few weeks ago. She now runs into the ring and brings it down across the back of the head of Kong knocking her out then runs it and starts choking Trish with it, then lifts her up off the mat and spinning her around in that then letting go and letting Trish fly away, crashing to the mat and holding her throat, spluttering. Daffney then goes to the outside again and goes under the ring pulling out a ladder and sliding it in and then a table bringing that in as well. She then pulls Kong up and sets her up for the DDT though the table but Kong is able to push her back into the ropes to stop that, but that makes Daffney mad, she starts hammering away with hard shots with both hands to the head to keep Kong down. The beast though is still able to charge forward and sending them both tumbling out to the floor.
Back in now and Kendra is back up and pulls Trish up towards the table, setting her up for the powerbomb….but Trish is able to grabs but legs and reverse that, sending Kendra to the mat, stepping through and then turning to lock in the sharpshooter! Kendra holds her head, reaching out as the referee comes in to check if she wants to give it up, but after a few moments she is able to throw Trish off and break it. Trish though goes over and grabs the ladder, waiting for Kendra to rise and then ramming it off her head! On the outside Daffney and Kong are now hammering each other into the aisle way when Daffney grabs Kong’s arm and Irish whips her but Kong reverses that and sends Daffney flying into the ring steps taking the top level and her out! In the ring now Trish takes the ladder and suplexes it down onto Kendra! The gets a massive ovation as Trish throws the ladder aside and takes a moment for a breather.
Kong now comes in Daffney picking her up and dragging her towards the bottom level of steps, kicking the first lot away but Daffney comes to life, standing and hammering into Kong, then grabbing her head and DDTing her down onto the steel steps!
Back in the ring Trish now is hammering into Kendra the nails her with the chick kick and covering for 1…2….NO! Kendra kicks out. On the outside Daffney now slides the top set of steps into the ring and stands, heaving them up onto her shoulder as both women stand in front of her and with a face of rage throws the steps at Trish, but at the last second Trish ducks and the steps collide hard in the face of Kendra sending her flying back out the ring as the crowd let out a massive “OH!” Daffney is wide eyed, hands over her mouth at what she has done when Trish runs in and hammers into her then drags her and places her on the table. She then goes over and grabs the ladder, setting it up as the crowd begins to buzz. She then starts to climb the noise in the arena getting louder with each rung, she then raises up and crosses herself and then as the crowd roars she flies off with a body splash from the top of the ladder…but at the last second Daffney moves leaving to Trish to crash down through the table!!! The arena has a collective shock and booed reaction as Daffney slithers to stand and turns, laughing at the destroyed Trish then runs in and covers her for 1…2….NO! Kong is back and breaks it up. She then heaves Daffney up and places her between her legs, hoisting her up and drives her down with the awesome bomb for 1…2…NO! Kendra is back and locks in the sleeper hold, pulling Kong back and dropping back grapevinning the legs! Kendra now pulls back, nodding shouting something at the referee as he can just nod and ask Kong. Kong withers and starts to fade as now the arena starts clapping and stomping, willing her on. Kong then starts to come alive, feeding off the energy as she rises, Kendra still on her back as she stands and then heaves Kendra up onto her back, with the sleeper still applied then turns and charges back, driving her into the ladder to finally break the hold! Sending the ladder tumbling and Kendra with it.
Kong then rises right as Daffney runs in and blasts her head off with the steel chair! She then throws it aside and heads outside, pulling out another table and setting it up on the outside. She then goes under and pulls out…a bag. She rolls into the ring with it and looks out with a sick smile at the blood thirsty cheering crowd. She then opens it and dumps the thumbtacks out onto the mat. She is cackling evilly now and goes in pulling Trish up and taking her towards the tacks, leaving her there and then running for the ropes and in, when Trish comes to life, grabs Daffney and slams her over and down onto the tacks! Daffney screams out, arching her back with tacks sticking all in it as Trish pulls her off it and covers her for 1…2…NO! Daffney kicks out! Maybe just to keep her tack filled back off the mat but she kicks out!
Trish now picks Daffney up and dumps her out of the ring, then goes over to the rising Kendra when Kendra comes to the life and goes behind Trish locking in the sleeper hold on her now! The boos reign down as Trish struggles in the hold, but then goes lifeless and dead in the grip of the monster. Then from behind comes Kong, bringing down the chair across the back and turning Kendra around, heaving her up and driving her into the mat with the implant buster! She then covers for 1….2….NO! Daffney is back, breaking it up.
She hammers into Kong and pulls her up, the tacks still all over her back as she drags Kong towards the flat ladder, but Kong gets out of it and grabs Daffney, going for the Implant buster when from behind Kendra is back with the leap pipe, bringing it down across the back of the head of Kong. Kong lets go of Daffney as Kendra turns her and then picks her up and throws her over and out, down through the table on the outside! Both women then turns their attention to Trish. But the blond bombshell still has fight left in her firing away on both women then hitting the ropes but comes right into a big boot from Kendra. Daffney then runs in on the rising Trish and blasts her over the head with the lead pipe and covers for 1…2…3!
Daffney’s music hits and Finkle announces it:
“Here are you winners Daffney and Kendra!”
Daffney still with tacks in her back cries out as she gets her hand raised aside Kendra on the other side of the referee to some cheers mixed in with the boos.. Obviously some of the New York fans like this duo and what they just did to gain the victory.
“My God folks, we said it would be a war and it was. Look at the carnage left by these women. It could have gone either way but in the end it was a lead pipe that sealed the fate for Trish Stratus. Daffney and Kendra have made a huge statement in defeating Kong and Trish here tonight. My God, get some EMT’s out here for these poor women” JR calls.
Daffney is now being helped to the back by Kendra but her smile does not fade as she is pulled up the aisle. EMT’s do indeed now hit the ring to help Trish and Kong, Kong already however up into a seated position and glaring at the victors. But they are the victors as despite major battle wounds very evident, as Trish is loaded onto a stretcher the victors are Daffney and Kendra!

“Yes indeed,” JR says as we now pan the cheering New York crowd “Wrestlemania 28 in just over two short month folks. What a night it will be. In just minuets we will be deciding who goes to Wrestlemania to main event against perhaps AJ Styles who retained earlier. But first folks it’s time for more Women action. This time thankfully more civilized. It’s the Women’s Champions match!”
Women’s Championship

Sky tries in vain to get out of it, reaches for the ropes with her free hand making a few steps forward but then fades and drops to her knee, wilting in the hold and then finally falls to the mat, Hamada nodding as she wrenches the hold in tighter. Sky now finally goes limb as the referee comes over and raises the arm once, twice….no! Sky manages to hold her arm up and stop it, the crowd cheering as she pumps her arm, using their cheer to fuel her as she drives her fist up into Hamada’s head 3 times to break it.

“A 3 month solid reign now for Hamada. What a Women’s Champion she has been but what a challenger tonight from Velvet Sky who I think surprised everyone King in how close she came to becoming the Women’s Champion” JR says.
“Oh for sure, she has been training and it shows. She has stepped up as a true Women’s wrestler here tonight JR” King responds.
Hamada now comes over and helps Velvet up, nodding to her and then leaving, holding her title up as she heads down the aisle, still the Champion and the Women to beat in the Women’s Division.
Backstage
We now see Gene Okerlund standing with a mic in hand in the locker room. We can hear hustle and bustle around him as the rest of the wrestlers get ready for the rumble match next.
“Ladies and Gentleman the World Wrestling Federation Champion AJ Styles” the crowd cheers as AJ stands, title belt over his shoulder, dressed with a towel over his other shoulder “AJ a huge congratulations for that amazing title match earlier in which you retained.”
“Yeah, Sabin gave me all he had but I was just that much better tonight” AJ replies.
“Indeed. Well AJ as you know next is the Royal Rumble. Obviously you have a vested interest in this match because if you can keep your title until Wrestlemania you will face the winner in the main event. Whose you money on?”
“Well it’s the biggest Rumble ever. It could be any one of 40 men. Some I would love to face, some not so much. But no matter what it’s not a case of if I will face them at Wrestlemania; it’s when I face them at Wrestlemania. For the second year in a row I will headline Wrestlemania! A first time that has happened since the big change over of ’09. I know I earned my spot there tonight and now it’s up for someone else to earn theirs. Who will be across that ring from me? I’m watching with just as much interest as you Gene.”
With that AJ walks off screen as Okerlund turns back to us, the noise getting louder as the locker room is informed to get ready for what is next.
“Yes indeed folks. The Royal Rumble, the first ever with 40 men is next. They are ready back here but are you ready? Let’s go to ringside to kick things off.”
Royal Rumble 2012
Live From Madison Square Garden in NY City
Theme: Welcome to the Jungle by Guns and Roses
*Play Opening Promo*
We open to the roaring capacity Madison Square Garden fans, masses of pyro exploding off the small cage themed stage, the ring posts and rafters. The lights then come up and we pan the jam packed rabid crowd.
“Hello ladies and gentleman to Madison Square Garden! We are live from the big apple for one of the biggest shows of the year with one of the biggest matches of the year. This is the Royal Rumble! Jim Ross alongside Jerry “the King” Lawler! King we have arrived” JR’s voice cuts in.
“Oh yeah! Tonight is all about who will go to Wrestlemania JR! Who will win the Royal Rumble match? And who will be the one to face them? Tonight is the night we will find out JR! I love the Royal Rumble!” King replies.
“Indeed as well as the Royal Rumble match itself we have a women’s title match, a no DQ Women’s tag match to settle a score and of course the big World Wrestling Federation Championship match between Chris Sabin and AJ Styles. And indeed we will start out hot with that title match right now!”
“Right now?” Asks King on shock “we are kicking things off with a WWF title match? Wow!”
“Indeed it seems HBK wanted to start things off scorching hot folks. Here we go with our semi Main Event right now! Let’s go to Howard Finkle to get things going.”
WWF Championship
*Play Entrances/ In Ring announcements*
Sabin comes out alone due as we are told to his teammates having big matches to prepare for tonight. He requested it as such apparently.
“Wants all the glory for himself, typical” King comments.
They both now remove their entrance gear as the referee comes over and checks them both over. They both then steps forward out of their corners, AJ still with the WWF title around his waist. He then releases it and hands it to the official, not taking his eyes of Sabin who stares back in turn as the referee holds the belt up high and then hands it over to the timekeeper. The challenger and champion are now nose to nose as the light bulbs flash and then call for the bell. Sabin says something to AJ which gets a grin a replay as they break, the referee getting between them and then calls for the bell. Here we go.
They now launch forward and lock up in a collar and elbow tie up, AJ at once goes behind and locks in and rear waist lock, Sabin struggling to break the hands with his own and then does dropping the mat with the arm and locking in an arm lock on the mat, turning around as AJ stands, grabbing a rear waist lock, AJ the reverses that into a rear arm lock of his own on the mat, pushing Sabin down behind him face first, Sabin though is able to power to his feet and jump over the arm, standing and locking in a overhand wrist lock now. AJ reverses that into one of his own.
“A very mat based start to this match, surprising from two high flyers, especially Sabin” JR chimes in.
Sabin now jumps over the arm, then twists around to stand and reverses that back into his. AJ though is then able to get out of that and again lock in a rear waist lock, Sabin tries to break the hold but then reverse it into one of his own. AJ though breaks that and runs into the ropes, coming back and taking Sabin down with a shoulder tackle. But as AJ comes in on the attack Sabin brings up his legs and sends Styles over with the head scissors bringing him down to the mat. They then stands and go for each other again and AJ rushes being, jumping up and vice Sabin with his knees and drop back, rolling back and turning into a roll up for a quick 2 count. Both men take a moment as they break AJ standing and adjusting his knee pads and Sabin looks over at him and then stands. They circle each other again, and they got o lock up again but this time AJ pulls him right into to a standing side headlock. Sabin though then pushes him off into the ropes and then as AJ runs in leapfrogs over him, then runs the ropes and comes in but AJ now leapfrogs over him now and turns right into a standing side headlock from Sabin now who takes him over and locks in a headlock on the mat now.
“One thing’s for certain in this World title match folks is that this match isn’t about whose being paid the most or who has the best catchphrase. This match is about who is the best wrestler and the best wrestler will walk away the World Wrestling Federation Champion” JR calls as Sabin wrenches in on the hold. AJ though brings up and locks in a head scissors to reverse it, Sabin kips up out of it but AJ rolls over and stands, the two coming for each other again and now AJ takes Sabin down with the side headlock takedown. Sabin reverses that into a head scissors of his own now, AJ the one to kip out now. Sabin coming in going straight back for the headlock but AJ pushes off and reverses that into one of his own, which Sabin then reverses into a back drop but AJ is able to kick his feet down stop it, keeping the headlock applied. Sabin tries to get out of it and almost does until AJ gets out of it a sweeps the legs taking Sabin down and covering him, but Sabin kicks out before the 1. Both stand and go for each other again. AJ runs in with a running closeline but Sabin ducks underneath it the pace quickening now as AJ runs in again and now gets taken down with a hurricanrana that sends the Champion rolling out of the ring. AJ breathes hard and tries to take a moment to regroup on the outside as in the ring Sabin gestures him to come on. Sabin now runs up and goes to jump with the plancha but AJ runs right back into the right to avoid it, but Sabin sees that and lands feet first on the apron, then vaults straight back over into the ring and down onto AJ with the cross body into a cover for 2. Both men now stand straight up and stare each other down again now as the crowd erupts in applause. They then circle each other and then come in again, locking up when now AJ Irish whips Sabin into the ropes and then leapfrogs over him as he comes, in Sabin hitting the opposites and rebounding in, AJ now dropping down to let him pass over, Sabin crisscrossing and coming in again right into a picture perfect dropkick as only the Champion can deliver. Right into a cover for 2.

As AJ arches his back in pain Sabin comes in now and covers for 2. Sabin picks AJ up and reels back, smashing into Styles with a few hard shots to the head and then whips him into the corner, runs in and brings up the running high knee, then grabs Styles out the corner and takes him over with a northern lights suplex for 2.
Sabin now lifts AJ off the mat and in return for earlier drives a hard roundhouse to his back now, then drops down and locks in a rear chin lock, driving the point of the knee into the back. Sabin keeps the hold locks in tight as the Champion is in deep trouble here, and when AJ doesn’t submit he breaks it and drives a hard elbow to the back before locking in a sleeper hold now. Styles now pumps his fists, getting his fans behind him and manages to get up onto his feet, AJ is now able to power onto his feet as the claps get louder and then drives the back of the elbow into Sabin’s gut over and over until he breaks the hold. AJ then runs into the ropes but Sabin ducks down for a back body drop so Styles twists him body over Sabin to land behind him and then runs in again right into a flapjack from Sabin driving Styles head into the mat, Sabin rolls right back from that keeping hold of the leg and locks in an Indian death lock now, whips his hair back as he pulls in the hold, AJ in a world of hurt but continuing to shake his head at the referee. Sabin though then breaks that and stands, locking in a single leg Boston crab now, pulling back on it but then AJ manages to grab the bottom rope to break it. He then runs back and drives a hard running elbow down into AJ 3 consecutive times. Then hits a spinning leg drop into a cover for 2.
Sabin now heaves AJ up by the head but then Styles comes to life and jumps up onto his shoulders, sending him flying out of the ring with the hurricanrana. Now it’s Sabin’s turn to get frustrated and walk around on the outside for a breather. But as he does AJ now runs over and uses the ropes to slingshot himself over and down onto Sabin with the springboard cross body plancha taking Sabin down! The two men now lay out of it on the mats as the crowd cheers and applauds them on to get back up. AJ then pulls Sabin up and throws him back into the ring now, coming in and covering for 2. AJ now picks Sabin up off the mat and now locks in an overhand wrist lock again, wrenching on it and yelling for Sabin to give it up. But Sabin shakes his head refusing to give in.
“So much on the line for this young man. He was elevated to singles stardom nearly 2 months ago now when he defeated Chris Jericho, and all that lead to this match, this night in Madison square garden. All his life he dreamed off this moment and he is the one who will have to make it true here and now” JR calls.
When he doesn’t give however AJ now hooks the arm, lifts Sabin up, spins him around and then drives him down across the knee with a gut buster! AJ then goes in, hooking the leg again for 1…2…NO! Sabin just manages to get the shoulder up.

Then as AJ turns he drives a forearm shot up into the head to send him back then leaps up onto the top rope for the springboard, but as he does AJ jumps up and dropkicks him off the top rope bringing him down gut first on the rope! The crowd let out a massive gasp for that as Sabin hangs there and then falls forward back into the ring holding his mid section in agonizing pain. AJ now comes back in and covers for 1…2….NO! Sabin just barely kicks out.
AJ then Irish whips Sabin into the ropes and now takes him down again with the capture power slam into the cover for 2 again. AJ now has his head on the mat, shaking his head and pounding the mat with his fist before standing. AJ now goes to whip Sabin into the ropes again but this time Sabin reverses it going behind and grabbing the waist, taking AJ down with a release German suplex. Both men now lay out on the mat as the crowd now comes alive clapping and stomping away to will them back to their feet, slowly they start to do so rising up into opposite corner and holding their hurt bodies before going for each other again and running for each other and taking each other down with double closelines!

Running in and covering for 1….2….NO! AJ just kicks out! Sabin is now in control as he stands, his fans screaming him on as he now rises up to the top rope now.

Again a massive gasp of shock from the crowd as Sabin kicks out.
AJ is now in a state of fatigue and disbelief as he rises and then heads to the outside and up onto the top rope rising up….when Sabin comes to life, runs the right up onto the top rope with him and sends him off the top with a super frakensteiner into a cover for 1…2….NO!!!

The arena is wild, giving both men a standing ovation as they both lay out on the mat. AJ then stands and gets his hand raised then is handed his world title, taking it and kissing it before holding it up high.
“Here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Champion! AJ Styles!” Finkle officially calls it.
Styles celebrates with the fans, getting up on the corner and holding the title up high as the place erupts for him again. The music though then dies as Sabin now stands to a big round of applause and cheer of him own. AJ nods and comes over, extending his hand, Sabin is holding himself as he nods and then takes it. The two shakes hands to a huge cheer for this sign of respect. Sabin then pats AJ on the back and takes off out of the ring, heading to the back and clapping hands with the fans up the aisle. But his head in low and when he looks back into the ring at the celebrating champion you can see the sadness in his eyes. He then takes off to the back as AJ holds up his title again. For now he is still the man.

We now come back and it’s time for the next contest.
Women’s NO DQ Tag Team Match
*Play Entrances*
Trish and Kong now stand side by side in a sight many thought they would never see, ready for their opponents who stand opposite them.
“This rivalry has become so heated, so personal. It means so much for these women to win here tonight. If Trish and Kong win then they will have halted the destruction that these dark women have brought to the women’s division over the past month. If Kendra and Daffney win then in their mind no one can stop them. No rules here, just a pure fight here” JR calls as the two women stare each other down, Daffney running her mouth while Trish just tells her to bring it.
The bell then rings and here we go, all four women run forward and start exchanging fists back and forth in furious fashion. Daffney managing to get advantage on Trish, Kendra on Kong, both simultaneously Irish whips their opponents but both at the same time but on the breaks and take them both down with a closeline from Trish and body splash from Kong. Trish then yells for Kong to hit the ropes which she does and goes to splash Kendra but Kendra moves leaving Kong to crash to the mat. Daffney meanwhile comes in behind Trish, grabs her by the hair and throws her hard across the ring towards the ropes with it. Trish rolls out under the bottom rope and Daffney pursues. Back in the Ring Kendra now heaves Kong up and body slams her, she then runs into the ropes and comes back off the ropes with a diving elbow. On the outside Trish has now overpowered Daffney with hard shots and now drives her face first off the crowd barrier. She then goes to the apron and under the ring, the crowd cheering as she pulls out a trash can with weapons all in it. She now takes the trash can lid and brings it down across the head of Daffney keeping him down, then throws it aside. She then goes and grabs herself a kendo stick, turning and reeling back with it but Daffney moves and Trish cracks the stick off the barrier and drops it, she then turns around just as Kendra runs the ring and flies though the ropes and down onto her with a suicide dive!
Kendra now stands and pulls Trish up; Irish whipping her into Daffney who has the trash can now and brings it down over Trish’s head as she comes in. But now on the apron comes down Kong with a diving axe handle taking Kendra out, she then turns to Daffney who grows wide eyed and runs, Kong giving pursuit but Daffney grabs herself a steel chair and as Kong comes around folds it and turns, but then gets it blasted off her face with a hard punch from Kong. That sends her down. Kendra now has stood and comes back around, turning Kong around and trading blows with her, back and forth they go until Kong grabs Kendra’s head and smashes it down onto the announce table. Trish has now stood and Kong yells for her to get in the ring, she does so as Kong throws Kendra in now and the two popular women now focus on the monster with Daffney still out of it. Trish nails a dropkick on Kendra sending her back into Kong who charges and takes her down with a closeline. Trish then heads to the top rope as Kong now brings in the steel chair and lays it over Kendra as Trish rises and then flies off with a diving splash, splashing down onto the chair onto Kendra. The crowd erupts for that one as Trish rolls away holding her ribs.
But on the outside now Daffney has risen and pulls out her leap pipe, the weapon she used to put both women down a few weeks ago. She now runs into the ring and brings it down across the back of the head of Kong knocking her out then runs it and starts choking Trish with it, then lifts her up off the mat and spinning her around in that then letting go and letting Trish fly away, crashing to the mat and holding her throat, spluttering. Daffney then goes to the outside again and goes under the ring pulling out a ladder and sliding it in and then a table bringing that in as well. She then pulls Kong up and sets her up for the DDT though the table but Kong is able to push her back into the ropes to stop that, but that makes Daffney mad, she starts hammering away with hard shots with both hands to the head to keep Kong down. The beast though is still able to charge forward and sending them both tumbling out to the floor.
Back in now and Kendra is back up and pulls Trish up towards the table, setting her up for the powerbomb….but Trish is able to grabs but legs and reverse that, sending Kendra to the mat, stepping through and then turning to lock in the sharpshooter! Kendra holds her head, reaching out as the referee comes in to check if she wants to give it up, but after a few moments she is able to throw Trish off and break it. Trish though goes over and grabs the ladder, waiting for Kendra to rise and then ramming it off her head! On the outside Daffney and Kong are now hammering each other into the aisle way when Daffney grabs Kong’s arm and Irish whips her but Kong reverses that and sends Daffney flying into the ring steps taking the top level and her out! In the ring now Trish takes the ladder and suplexes it down onto Kendra! The gets a massive ovation as Trish throws the ladder aside and takes a moment for a breather.
Kong now comes in Daffney picking her up and dragging her towards the bottom level of steps, kicking the first lot away but Daffney comes to life, standing and hammering into Kong, then grabbing her head and DDTing her down onto the steel steps!
Back in the ring Trish now is hammering into Kendra the nails her with the chick kick and covering for 1…2….NO! Kendra kicks out. On the outside Daffney now slides the top set of steps into the ring and stands, heaving them up onto her shoulder as both women stand in front of her and with a face of rage throws the steps at Trish, but at the last second Trish ducks and the steps collide hard in the face of Kendra sending her flying back out the ring as the crowd let out a massive “OH!” Daffney is wide eyed, hands over her mouth at what she has done when Trish runs in and hammers into her then drags her and places her on the table. She then goes over and grabs the ladder, setting it up as the crowd begins to buzz. She then starts to climb the noise in the arena getting louder with each rung, she then raises up and crosses herself and then as the crowd roars she flies off with a body splash from the top of the ladder…but at the last second Daffney moves leaving to Trish to crash down through the table!!! The arena has a collective shock and booed reaction as Daffney slithers to stand and turns, laughing at the destroyed Trish then runs in and covers her for 1…2….NO! Kong is back and breaks it up. She then heaves Daffney up and places her between her legs, hoisting her up and drives her down with the awesome bomb for 1…2…NO! Kendra is back and locks in the sleeper hold, pulling Kong back and dropping back grapevinning the legs! Kendra now pulls back, nodding shouting something at the referee as he can just nod and ask Kong. Kong withers and starts to fade as now the arena starts clapping and stomping, willing her on. Kong then starts to come alive, feeding off the energy as she rises, Kendra still on her back as she stands and then heaves Kendra up onto her back, with the sleeper still applied then turns and charges back, driving her into the ladder to finally break the hold! Sending the ladder tumbling and Kendra with it.
Kong then rises right as Daffney runs in and blasts her head off with the steel chair! She then throws it aside and heads outside, pulling out another table and setting it up on the outside. She then goes under and pulls out…a bag. She rolls into the ring with it and looks out with a sick smile at the blood thirsty cheering crowd. She then opens it and dumps the thumbtacks out onto the mat. She is cackling evilly now and goes in pulling Trish up and taking her towards the tacks, leaving her there and then running for the ropes and in, when Trish comes to life, grabs Daffney and slams her over and down onto the tacks! Daffney screams out, arching her back with tacks sticking all in it as Trish pulls her off it and covers her for 1…2…NO! Daffney kicks out! Maybe just to keep her tack filled back off the mat but she kicks out!
Trish now picks Daffney up and dumps her out of the ring, then goes over to the rising Kendra when Kendra comes to the life and goes behind Trish locking in the sleeper hold on her now! The boos reign down as Trish struggles in the hold, but then goes lifeless and dead in the grip of the monster. Then from behind comes Kong, bringing down the chair across the back and turning Kendra around, heaving her up and driving her into the mat with the implant buster! She then covers for 1….2….NO! Daffney is back, breaking it up.
She hammers into Kong and pulls her up, the tacks still all over her back as she drags Kong towards the flat ladder, but Kong gets out of it and grabs Daffney, going for the Implant buster when from behind Kendra is back with the leap pipe, bringing it down across the back of the head of Kong. Kong lets go of Daffney as Kendra turns her and then picks her up and throws her over and out, down through the table on the outside! Both women then turns their attention to Trish. But the blond bombshell still has fight left in her firing away on both women then hitting the ropes but comes right into a big boot from Kendra. Daffney then runs in on the rising Trish and blasts her over the head with the lead pipe and covers for 1…2…3!
Daffney’s music hits and Finkle announces it:
“Here are you winners Daffney and Kendra!”
Daffney still with tacks in her back cries out as she gets her hand raised aside Kendra on the other side of the referee to some cheers mixed in with the boos.. Obviously some of the New York fans like this duo and what they just did to gain the victory.
“My God folks, we said it would be a war and it was. Look at the carnage left by these women. It could have gone either way but in the end it was a lead pipe that sealed the fate for Trish Stratus. Daffney and Kendra have made a huge statement in defeating Kong and Trish here tonight. My God, get some EMT’s out here for these poor women” JR calls.
Daffney is now being helped to the back by Kendra but her smile does not fade as she is pulled up the aisle. EMT’s do indeed now hit the ring to help Trish and Kong, Kong already however up into a seated position and glaring at the victors. But they are the victors as despite major battle wounds very evident, as Trish is loaded onto a stretcher the victors are Daffney and Kendra!

“Yes indeed,” JR says as we now pan the cheering New York crowd “Wrestlemania 28 in just over two short month folks. What a night it will be. In just minuets we will be deciding who goes to Wrestlemania to main event against perhaps AJ Styles who retained earlier. But first folks it’s time for more Women action. This time thankfully more civilized. It’s the Women’s Champions match!”
Women’s Championship

Hamada hand over the women’s championship, looking over at Velvet who is limbering up and trying to shake off her nerves. This is the big dance as she knows it, it’s time to put up or shut up.

Both women stand and go for each other again, Velvet grabbing the arm and kicking Hamada in the guy before whipping her off again, but as Hamada comes back in she jumps up, around sky and locks in the standing wrist-lock with neck scissors, syncing it in. Sky tries in vain to get out of it, reaches for the ropes with her free hand making a few steps forward but then fades and drops to her knee, wilting in the hold and then finally falls to the mat, Hamada nodding as she wrenches the hold in tighter. Sky now finally goes limb as the referee comes over and raises the arm once, twice….no! Sky manages to hold her arm up and stop it, the crowd cheering as she pumps her arm, using their cheer to fuel her as she drives her fist up into Hamada’s head 3 times to break it.

Hamada stands from that and runs in but Sky side steps her and throws her out through the ropes to the floor. Hamada stands on the floor. Sky then comes out onto the ring apron as Sky rises and jumps up onto the ropes and springboards back with a moonsault…but Hamada catches her out the air and drives her down with a running power slam on the floor! The thin protective mats the only thing between Sky and the concrete and she feels it, crying out and arching her back, holding it as she rolls away. Hamada now comes over and pulls Sky up, throwing her back into the ring and coming in pulling her up and dropping he with the thunder fire powerbomb for 1…2…NO!!! Velvet gets her shoulder up, barely.
Hamada now shakes her head and comes in, going to lift Sky up but Sky springs to life and rolls her up in the inside cradle for 1…2…NO! Hamada kicks out. Velvet now rolls back onto her feet and picks Hamada up, pulling her in and nailing the spike DDT for 1…2…NO! Hamada gets her shoulder up. Sky is now out of breath, shaking her head as she is on her knees. She then stands and pulls Hamada up again, going for her X Factor finisher…but Hamada reverses it into a jumping DDT for 1….2….NO! Sky barely gets her shoulder off the mat. Hamada has now had enough, pulling Velvet up and setting her up for the Elevated cutter but as she drops down out of it, Sky twists Hamada around and drives her down with the X Factor for 1…2….NO!!! Hamada kicks out! Sky falls back, hands in her hair; she was sure that was it. Both women now lay out on the mat, Sky the first to breathing hard as she comes in now and signals she is going for it again.
She picks Hamada up and sets up for the under hook face buster again but Hamada kicks her in the gut and hits the ropes coming in with the back elbow but Sky ducks it and hits the ropes coming in with a closeline but Hamada ducks that and as Sky hits the ropes and comes in again catches her and drives her down with the AP Cross for 1…2…3!
The crowd cheers now as Hamada’s music hits.
“Here is your winner and STILL World Wrestling Federation Women’s Champion. Ayako Hamada!” Finkle announces.
Hamada now stands and gets her hand raised, been given the belt and holding it up high with pride.
“A 3 month solid reign now for Hamada. What a Women’s Champion she has been but what a challenger tonight from Velvet Sky who I think surprised everyone King in how close she came to becoming the Women’s Champion” JR says.
“Oh for sure, she has been training and it shows. She has stepped up as a true Women’s wrestler here tonight JR” King responds.
Hamada now comes over and helps Velvet up, nodding to her and then leaving, holding her title up as she heads down the aisle, still the Champion and the Women to beat in the Women’s Division.
Backstage
We now see Gene Okerlund standing with a mic in hand in the locker room. We can hear hustle and bustle around him as the rest of the wrestlers get ready for the rumble match next.
“Ladies and Gentleman the World Wrestling Federation Champion AJ Styles” the crowd cheers as AJ stands, title belt over his shoulder, dressed with a towel over his other shoulder “AJ a huge congratulations for that amazing title match earlier in which you retained.”
“Yeah, Sabin gave me all he had but I was just that much better tonight” AJ replies.
“Indeed. Well AJ as you know next is the Royal Rumble. Obviously you have a vested interest in this match because if you can keep your title until Wrestlemania you will face the winner in the main event. Whose you money on?”
“Well it’s the biggest Rumble ever. It could be any one of 40 men. Some I would love to face, some not so much. But no matter what it’s not a case of if I will face them at Wrestlemania; it’s when I face them at Wrestlemania. For the second year in a row I will headline Wrestlemania! A first time that has happened since the big change over of ’09. I know I earned my spot there tonight and now it’s up for someone else to earn theirs. Who will be across that ring from me? I’m watching with just as much interest as you Gene.”
With that AJ walks off screen as Okerlund turns back to us, the noise getting louder as the locker room is informed to get ready for what is next.
“Yes indeed folks. The Royal Rumble, the first ever with 40 men is next. They are ready back here but are you ready? Let’s go to ringside to kick things off.”
