Randy Orton comes out for a promo. Jeff Hardy comes out and
shows clips of him getting the pinfall on RAW two weeks ago.
Hardy ends up reversing a RKO and laying Orton out with his
own RKO.
The Hardys are backstage... Matt asked if Jeff wins
the WWE Title at the Rumble, if Matt could have a title shot
if Jeff wins at Royal Rumble... Jeff says yes, lets go talk
about it and they walk off...
Match 1: Shawn Michaels vs. Mr. Kennedy.
Typical match between the two. Kennedy gets the win with a
clean pin.
Match 2: Umaga vs. Hacksaw Jim Duggan.Umaga defeats
Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a Royal Rumble qualifying match
Backstage segment with Flair and Vince McMahon. Vince told
Flair its over for him and his career tonight.
JBL makes his return to RAW, coming in a limousine
to ringside. Lots of balloons and confettie come down from
the rafters. JBL comes out and talks about power. Y2J's music
hits and he attacks JBL and the two begin to brawl. The refs
come down and break it up.
Match 3: Beth Phoenix vs. Mickie James [Women's Championship
Match] Beth Phoenix retains the WWE Women's Title against
Mickie James in a good match.
Match 4: William Regal vs. Hornswoggle. Regal
vs Hornswoggle ends in a No contest... Vince gave Regal brass
knuckles and told him to use them. Regal couldn't so Hornswoggle
runs up the ramp. Vince comes in and berates Regal who then
leaves. Vince said it was a test for Regal to see how he would
do.
Match 5: Jeff Hardy vs. Santino Marella.
Match starts off and Orton comes on the TitanTron while the
match is going on and beats up Matt Hardy in the back... Orton
kicks Matt in the head... Jeff leaves the match to help Matt
and is shown backstage tending to Matt with the refs.
Match 6: Triple H vs. Ric Flair. Huge
pop as expected for Flair who is introduced last. Both men
hit their signature moves. Flair locks on the figure four
for a few minutes. I'm not sure, but I think it was Vince
McMahon or Regal who came down and interfered, causing Flair
to win by DQ.
