Shawn Michaels and Edge then walked up to each other and stood face to face…
Rey Mysterio was next walking around the ring with his WWE Cruiserweight Championship hanging over his shoulder while highlights were shown from the Royal Rumble where Rey Mysterio beat Chavo Guerrero to become the first WWE Cruiserweight Champion. Gregory Helms was sitting in the middle of the ring now looking up at the WrestleMania banner while highlights aired of Helms beating Mysterio in the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament, Helms claiming that Mysterio had been ducking him that Mysterio was being protected by WWE Management especially Dean Malenko and then off Gregory Helms hitting Dean Malenko in the back with a steel chair while Malenko was shielding Rey Mysterio. Rey Mysterio and Gregory Helms then stepped up to each other in the middle of the ring…
The Undertaker was standing in the middle of the ring as the ringside area filled up with smoke and then after The Undertaker lifted up his hat and rolled back his eyes as highlights aired of The Undertaker’s impressive performance in the 30 Man Royal Rumble Match ending when The Undertaker eliminated John Cena getting all the way to the final two leaving The Undertaker V ‘The Animal’ Batista.

The Undertaker snapped he even laid out WWE Officials, Referees and Agents as they all made an effort to get The Undertaker out of the ring and when they all failed WWE Chairman Vince McMahon himself came out and got into the ring with The Undertaker but Undertaker grabbed Vince around the throat and ordered Vince give him John Cena! The Undertaker was again shown in the ring alone looking up the aisle as John Cena stood at the entrance way staring back at The Undertaker…
“At WrestleMania I will cement myself in history as the greatest of all time!” – WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H…
WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H was shown standing on the middle rope holding up his WWE World Heavyweight Championship Title pointing at the WrestleMania banner before highlights were shown from the Royal Rumble where HHH beat Shawn Michaels to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Batista was finally shown jumping up and down on the spot in the middle of the ring with his eyes firmly locked on the WrestleMania banner also before the tone of the video changed as if it was in Batista’s head going back through all the things he has gone through on the Road to WrestleMania in reverse order. Triple H spiking Batista with a Pedigree showing Batista he is in fact beatable, Triple H and Randy Orton revealing that they had made a deal back in October that Orton would make sure Batista wouldn’t advance in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament because HHH never wanted to face Batista in the Quarter Finals and in return HHH would pass the torch to Randy Orton. The night it came out that Triple H and Randy Orton were working together was then shown it was Batista V Orton earlier in the night Orton and HHH had a confrontation in the back where Orton told HHH that he would take Batista out of action but then HHH threatened Orton with a Sledgehammer and warned Orton that if he jeopardised his WrestleMania Main Event he would have hell to pay during the match Orton managed to get Batista tied up in the ropes and Orton went out and grabbed a Steel Chair but true to his word Triple H carrying his Sledgehammer ran out and ran Orton off. HHH did have his back to Batista but HHH slowly turned to face Batista while holding the Sledgehammer close to his face with an evil look in his eye Triple H approached Batista!! Still shots from different angles were then shown of HHH nailing Batista in the ribs with two vile shots with the Sledgehammer before Triple H leaned over Batista’s fallen body and told him he has been playing games with him for months. At the Contract Signing to make their WrestleMania World Heavyweight Championship Match Main Event official Triple H told Batista he was looking forward to facing him that he regarded them both as the two best in the business HHH even went as far as to say he respected Batista and after both men had signed the contract HHH offered his hand to Batista. Batista who never took his eyes off HHH throughout the whole procedure shook HHH’s hand but Batista pulled HHH in close to him and while HHH had trouble looking Batista in the eye Batista warned Triple H not to even think about playing games with him. Sunday 27th January 2008 Batista made his history by outlasting 29 other men to win the first ever 30 Man Royal Rumble Match and earn the right to face the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania; Batista lastly eliminating John Cena and his celebrations with fireworks going off in the arena were shown before going back to Batista standing in the middle of the ring looking up at the WrestleMania banner before giving his signature Thumbs Up… Thumbs Down! The camera then went and focused on the WrestleMania banner hanging in the arena.
“Everything you have ever done to me, I will keep locked up in my head replay it over time and time again and then at WrestleMania I will use it all against you and hit you where it hurts most by taking away what you cherish most the richest prize in this game the WWE World Heavyweight Championship” – Batista.
Fireworks shot off around and high into the arena as the fans were on their feet cheering at the top of their voices with homemade signs held high above their heads.

WWE Ring Announcer Justin Roberts was mid ring and he announced tonight’s opening contest ‘Big Red Machine’ Kane V King Booker…
Fire shot from the four turnbuckles as Kane made his way out to a good positive ovation from the crowd, Kane’s been trying to get a match against King Booker for months after Booker made an example out of Kane he led a group attack on Kane to send a message to Kane’s brother The Undertaker. Booker kept refusing the match time and time again which sighting that Kane wasn’t in the same league as him and his brother this pushed Kane over the edge and it made Kane take drastic action to get what he wanted Kane Choke-slammed Queen Sharmell!!
King Booker was out next carrying a sceptre crown on his head and wearing a long robe, since Kane took out his wife King Booker has been on a little bit of a losing streak losing to both CM Punk and Shawn Michaels. Booker tonight promises that with his mojo back in his corner he will return to his best live up to his word and show Kane that he is not in his league. King Booker stopped half way down the aisle turned back to the entrance way and held out his hand…
Queen Sharmell walked out on to the stage before making her way down to meet her husband King Booker who kissed Sharmell’s hand they linked arms as they continued their way down to ringside…

Kane.[/center]Queen Sharmell came into the ring and kneed next to her fallen husband checking on King Booker as she kept looking up making sure Kane was nowhere near her. Nick Patrick attempted to raise Kane’s hand in victory but Kane wouldn’t allow it so Patrick just pointed at Kane as Justin Roberts announced Kane as the winner. Kane just stared down at the fallen Booker before leaving the ring and making his way back up the aisle stopping at the top to raise his fist to the fans. JR, King and JBL wondered what was next for Kane now he has finally gotten his hands on and beaten King Booker?
New York City in the earlier evening was then shown with the sky starting to get darker Jim Ross revealed that all Champions and Challengers including WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H and WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio along with the men they will be facing Gregory Helms and Batista are here ahead of their matches. All five WWE Championships are on the line tonight all but the WWE Cruiserweight Championship being defended by the current Champion for the first time.
Primo Colon was shown in the front row here to support his older brother Carlito in his match against ‘Guru of Greatness’ John Morrison. Jim Ross noted that coming from Primo’s impressive performance this past Monday on Raw against John Morrison even in defeat WWE Management has decided to promote Primo Colon from WWE Development to the WWE Roster, hopefully ‘The Colons’ will have two things to celebrate come the end of the next match…
John Morrison with his girlfriend Melina came out first as JR and The King went over all the things that John Morrison has done to Carlito, including Morrison spitting apple in Carlito’s face, eliminating Carlito in the first round of the WWE Intercontinental Championship Tournament and lastly Monday on Raw John Morrison beat Carlito’s baby brother Primo Colon. John Morrison stood on the middle rope staring down at Primo Colon while grinding his bedazzled abs at Primo…
Carlito came out next to a nice ovation from the crowd carrying an apple and wearing a new Carlito T-Shirt as Carlito made his way out JBL said that JR and Lawler were making out Carlito was the victim in all of this but in fact Carlito brought all of this on himself by spitting apple in Melina’s beautiful face and since then Carlito hasn’t just sat back and took everything John Morrison has put him through Carlito also ruined Morrison’s debut as John Morrison costing him a match over Bobby Lashley. JBL predicted that justice will prevail here at WrestleMania we would see a happy ending and John Morrison will beat Carlito. Carlito and Primo shared a quick hug at ringside before Carlito placed his apple under the turnbuckle tossed his tee out into the crowd before rolling into the ring…

Carlito climbed the turnbuckle to take in the ovation from the crowd but then Primo came over and told Carlito to get down Primo said something to Carlito before pointing underneath the bottom turnbuckle where sat Carlito’s apple…
Melina was screaming outside the ring ordering Carlito and Primo away from her man John Morrison but Carlito ignored Melina picked up his apple and made his way closer to ‘The Sharman of Sexy’; John Morrison was still out of it. With the fans egging him on Carlito raised the apple high above his head then he took a number of big bites out of the apple stood over Morrison who was now coming round and once Morrison had his bearings back Carlito spat the apple all over John Morrison’s face! Morrison rolled out of the ring in front of the broadcast table wiping the apple from his face as Melina tried to calm him down with no luck. Carlito and Primo made their way back up the aisle with their arms round each others shoulders before separating to slap hands with the fans.
John Morrison was disgusted at ringside he was on his knees wiping his face on Melina’s top before getting up covering his face with one hand grabbed Melina’s arm with his other arm before rushing back up the aisle as they got near the top Paparazzi came out and attempted to take photographs of John Morrison but they pushed their way past and hurried backstage.

JR said that tonight after every match WWE Reporter Joey Styles will speak with the winners of every match tonight and they will be shown exclusively on WWE.Com immediately following WrestleMania.
Friday 22nd February 2008: WWE Smack Down: Paul London and Brian Kendrick beat Finlay and William Regal… Following the match Finlay surprisingly shook the hands of both London and Kendrick, Finlay asked Regal to do the same but Regal turned his back on Finlay, Kendrick and London after London and Kendrick had left the ring Finlay tried talking to Regal but Regal was ignoring him while resting his head on the turnbuckle Regal then picked up Finlay’s Shillelagh from under the bottom turnbuckle and he turned around without hesitating and taking Finlay and everyone else by surprise Regal knocked Finlay out with a shot to the head with the Shillelagh. William Regal just stood emotionless next to Finlay’s fallen body before simply dropping the Shillelagh next to Finlay’s body and rolling out of the ring…
“This is one that I’ve been waiting for this is going to be one hell of a fight!” – JBL…
William Regal was introduced first by Justin Roberts and Regal made his way out slowly stopping to look around the arena. William Regal feels overlooked by WWE Management he wasn’t entered into any of the single WWE Championship Tournaments while Finlay was entered in two (WWE World Heavyweight Championship and WWE United States Championship) together Regal and Finlay reached the Finals of the WWE Tag Team Championship Tournament only to lose to The Hardy Boyz then after falling out of the Tag Team Title picture Regal saw the writing on the wall so he ended his many year long friendship by knocking Finlay out cold. William Regal has promised to show everyone who believes that his time is up that they are wrong and William Regal has even promised that one day he will achieve his dream of becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion…
Finlay’s music hit and Finlay jogged out on to the stage as Justin Roberts introduced Finlay; Finlay only has a handful of friends in this business and he would have described William Regal as his closest friend and since Regal ended their relationship Finlay has snapped he has beat the living hell out of any man that he has come across he hasn’t been after victories he has just been intent on sending a violent and brutal message to William Regal. Finlay stared down at William Regal who was challenging Finlay to get into the ring so Finlay ran down the aisle dropped his Shillelagh at ringside and rolled into the ring Referee Chad Patton called for the bell straight away…
Match 3.

Finlay V William Regal
Heavyweight Division
Finlay V William Regal
Referee: Chad Patton. Time Limit: 20 Minutes.[/center]William Regal won one hell of a fight this wasn’t a wrestling match it was a fight Referee Patton showed a lot of lenience because he could have disqualified either man on a number of occasions. Regal had a cut mouth and a bloody nose from one of a number of shots to the face from Finlay. Neither man went for pin falls they just wanted to hurt one another but in the end Regal managed to drop Finlay on his head with a release half nelson supflex, Finlay never moved he was out of it he landed right on the back of his head. Regal just stood waiting to see if Finlay could get back to his feet and slowly Finlay started to get back to his feet but he had to use the ropes to get back to his feet but as soon as Finlay was back to his feet Regal laid into Finlay with a number of forearms to the face before grabbing hold of Finlay again and tossing him over his head with a release exploder supflex. Finlay was out of it Referee Patton kneeled over Finlay to see if he was alright but Finlay waved Patton away as Regal took a couple of steps away from Finlay as Finlay slowly got to a knee but as he did Regal ran and kneed Finlay right into the side of Finlay’s head and Finlay just slumped to the mat lying on his face. Regal just stared down at Finlay who wasn’t moving Chad Patton told William Regal to back up so he could check on Finlay but Regal moved Finlay aside dropped to his knees and flipped Finlay on to his back and covered Finlay with his elbow pushed against Finlay’s jaw…

Winner:
William Regal.[/center]Chad Patton was worried about Finlay’s health his eyes were open but he was completely out of it Finlay’s eyes were rolled to the back of his head. William Regal was on his knees next to Finlay’s body just looking at Referee Patton who was worrying about Finlay’s condition but Regal was screaming at Patton to raise his hand in victory. Regal jumped to his feet grabbed Patton by his shirt and told him to raise his hand so Chad Patton raised William Regal’s hand as Justin Roberts announced Regal as the winner. Patton quickly jumped back down to check on Finlay so Regal just waved Patton and Finlay off and exited the ring before making his way back up the ramp looking out at the fans in disgust while calmly clicking his wrists as he was making his way back up the aisle more WWE Officials ran past William Regal and slid into the ring to check on Finlay who was now at least sitting up but was still groggy. Regal turned back to see Finlay get helped back to his feet Regal spat some blood out of on to the floor before making his way backstage. Fans were on their feet encouraging Finlay, Finlay pushed the officials aside before steadily walking across the ring before he dropped and rolled out of the ring where his Shillelagh lay on the floor which Finlay picked up and looked at it before making his way slowly back up the aisle holding the back of his head.
Joined WWE Reporter Joey Styles backstage who’s taken a moment away from interviewing the winners of tonight’s matches to remind everyone that after tonight WWE Management are going to be making many changes to the WWE Roster with many Superstars being released and many new Superstars being signed. Styles said he has been given permission to announce the newest addition to the WWE Roster joining the Cruiserweight Division he is a former ECW Tag Team Champion, ECW T.V Champion and WWF Light-Heavyweight Champion as well as being a Champion in both Mexico and Japan…
A fire breathing dragon appeared on the screen while a Japanese flag was waved in the back before the dragon spelled out a name in fire… TAJIRI!!
“Ooooooooooooo… Chavo!!”
Chavo Guerrero’s music hit and ‘The Mexican Warrior’ made his way out as JR, King and JBL talked about the signing of Tajiri to the WWE Cruiserweight Division which all described as a good thing and they predicted that very soon Tajiri will be fighting for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. Guerrero was in the ring now on the leaning over the side of the ring motioning for the WWE Cruiserweight Title, Guerrero has become very bitter over the last few weeks ever since he was given the chance to wrestle for the right to face Rey Mysterio tonight WWE Management believed that Jerry Lynn and Gregory Helms were the top contenders to the Championship. Chavo Guerrero has also claimed that WWE Agent Dean Malenko and WWE Management are protecting Rey Mysterio also Guerrero has claimed Jerry Lynn is living of his name and past reputation and it was a joke that Lynn was given the opportunity the face the Champion tonight over him…
Jerry Lynn was out next to a big ovation from the fans in attendance Lynn has a cult following in the New York area Lynn seemed pumped and was slapping hands with the fans as he made his way down the aisle for the biggest match of his career on without a doubt the biggest stage of the popular veterans career. Lynn made his debut here in the WWE in a losing effort to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio and over the last couple of weeks Lynn has taken a number of shots to the head which resulted in Lynn having a couple of weeks of with a mild concussion Lynn has admitted that because of his age it takes his body longer to recover him injuries but he has vowed that he will not retire until he has become the WWE Cruiserweight Champion…
Cruiserweight Division Senior Referee Charles Robinson stood in between Jerry Lynn and Chavo Guerrero as Guerrero was pointing in Lynn’s face and bad mouthing but they were then all interrupted by the sound of some music we haven’t heard in a while…
James Gibson is back!!
Fans were on their feet for James Gibson who has earned the respect of all the WWE fans after vowing back in early September that he would never lose again and to this day James Gibson still hasn’t been beaten and if it wasn’t for him suffering a separated shoulder in the Semi Finals of the WWE Cruiserweight Championship Tournament back in January against Rey Mysterio, James Gibson may have been the WWE Cruiserweight Champion coming into WrestleMania tonight. Gibson was still showing signs of the injury he had his left shoulder heavily taped up.
Will James Gibson be able to overcome his injury and continue his vow to never lose again or will he fail on the grandest stage of them all…

Gibson dove on top of Guerrero to stop the count that was lucky because Jerry Lynn was out cold Gibson and Guerrero exchanged right hands which Gibson got the better off knocking Guerrero back a couple of steps but Guerrero came right back at Gibson and clocked him with a rolling Liger Kick but instead of covering Gibson, Guerrero dragged Lynn back to his feet before planting him with a snapping back supflex before again making his way back up top going for his Frog Splash again but this time Gibson was back up and he crotched Guerrero on over the top turnbuckle Lynn was getting back to his feet he seen Gibson had his back to him so Lynn lined Gibson up motioning for Gibson to turn around and Gibson did…

James Gibson.[/center]Fans were on their feet applauding a good match as Chavo Guerrero fell forward off the top turnbuckle on to his back joining Jerry Lynn and the victor James Gibson who were also on their backs feeling the effects of a tough match Lynn was holding the back of his head he may have suffered another concussion but seemed fine when Referee Robinson checked on Lynn. Gibson rolled out of the ring dropping to his knees on the floor and Referee Robinson followed Gibson out to raise his hand as Justin Roberts announced Gibson as the winner and as Gibson heard his name being announced he finally showed some emotion he pounded on his chest with his fist before getting back to his feet where he signalled that he was coming for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship.
Jim Ross said that James Gibson will be looking to get back into the WWE Cruiserweight Championship picture as soon as he can and after that victory he may get what he wants and he might it get it in just under a month at the next WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event…
Saturday 3rd May 2008: WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event V
WWE Interviewer Todd Grisham was standing by backstage with the WWE Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy ahead of his match against Bobby Lashley. Kennedy had his WWE Intercontinental Title hanging over his shoulder; Grisham said up next we would see the first Championship match of the night where Mr. Kennedy would defend his WWE Intercontinental Championship against Bobby Lashley two of the brightest stars in the company will go at it the loud mouth arrogant Mr. Kennedy against the ‘Silent Assassin’ Bobby Lashley…
“Loud mouth… Arrogant, me?” – Mr. Kennedy
Mr. Kennedy brushed off the insult and he went on to say that when this match was signed people assumed that he was nervous about facing Bobby Lashley and being Mr. Kennedy he told the world that he is not nervous about facing and that’s the truth but… He does realise how big this match is there’s more than the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line. Kennedy continued by saying he and Lashley are without a shadow of a doubt to of the brightest stars in the WWE and there isn’t enough room for both of them so tonight he is going to do what he does best and that is get everybody’s attention beat Bobby Lashley in the middle of the ring and show everyone why he is the fastest rising star in this business and why he is… …MR… …KENNEDY… …Kennedy!! Kennedy’s music hit as he finished talking so he looked at Grisham smiled and told Grisham he was off to do what he does best…
WWE Intercontinental Champion Mr. Kennedy came out wearing his Title around his waist; Kennedy has been very impressive since coming to the WWE in August winning the WWE Intercontinental Championship in January he has only been pinned once which was in an 8 Man Tag Team Match by Jeff Hardy and since he became the WWE Intercontinental Champion he has competed in None Title Matches every week since becoming Champion only losing one via a disqualification and that was too ‘Heartbreak Kid’ Shawn Michaels. Mr. Kennedy was now centre ring with under a bright spotlight where he raised his hand where an old school microphone dropped from the ceiling…
“Ladies and Gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall with a 25 minute time limit and it is for the WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP!! Introducing first from Green Bay, Wisconsin… …”
“Here comes Bobby Lashley” – Jim Ross
Mr. Kennedy wasn’t happy to be interrupted by Bobby Lashley who was now making his way down the aisle to a loud ovation from the fans in attendance. Bobby Lashley got everyone’s attention shortly after making his debut with the WWE making short work of anyone put in front of him Lashley was that impressive in fact that he was entered into all three Heavyweight singles Title Tournaments but the week before the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Lashley suffered his first loss to John Cena which seemed to have a mental effect on Lashley he went on to be eliminated from all three Tournaments in the first round and Lashley was eliminated early in the Royal Rumble. Lashley since the Rumble has refocused and started over from the bottom and he re-found his form earning the right to face Mr. Kennedy for his WWE Intercontinental Championship. But the question has to be asked and was asked by Mr. Kennedy on Raw will Bobby Lashley be able to cope with the pressure or will he choke once again when it matters most?
Bobby Lashley was in one corner while Champion Mr. Kennedy was in the opposite corner as Referee Jim Korderas held the WWE Intercontinental Championship over his head before passing it out to Justin Roberts and calling for the bell…

Lashley was dominant through out the match using a Press Slam, stalling supflex and other high impact moves until that was Lashley missed a flying shoulder block hitting the mat hard Lashley then rolled out on to the ring apron but as he got back to his feet on the apron Kennedy ran into Lashley sending him flying from the ring apron straight into the security wall crashing his ribs against the wall, Lashley dropped to the mats clutching his ribs and gasping for air Referee Korderas started to count Lashley out…

Match was able to continue much to the annoyance of Mr. Kennedy but Kennedy took advantage of Lashley’s injured ribs at every opportunity even kicking Lashley right in the ribs while Lashley was on his hands and knees also Kennedy ran Lashley back first, first into the ring apron and then the ring post Lashley managed to turn the tide by catching Kennedy as he came off the middle rope with a turning Powerslam both men were on their back after the move and Lashley was holding his ribs but he had the momentum back. Both men back to their feet Lashley connects with two hard clotheslines holds his ribs as he waits for Kennedy to get back to his feet Lashley plants Kennedy with a nice belly to belly supflex but stays on his knees clutching his ribs really finding it hard to breath Lashley must have broken ribs getting desperate he sends Kennedy hard back first into the turnbuckle and then to the opposite turnbuckle… Lashley quickly hoisted Kennedy over his shoulder going for one of his favoured moves the Running Powerslam but Kennedy was quick to get behind Lashley punch him a few times in the ribs before spinning Lashley round and showing great strength lifting Lashley over his shoulders and dropping him with his Exclamation Point (Green Bay Plunge) Kennedy into the cover hooking both of Lashley’s legs tight…

Lashley got his shoulder up! Mr. Kennedy mouth open wide in shock but feeling Lashley was there for the taking he pulled off his elbow pad and challenged Bobby Lashley to get back to his feet so he could take his head off… Lashley’s up…
LARIAT!!!
Lashley ducked and smashed Kennedy with a Full Nelson Slam before falling back into the ropes Kennedy’s head bounced off the mat but he was quick to his feet but Lashley met Kennedy with a huge high impact shoulder block but the impact of Kennedy hitting the mat knocked him back to his feet where Kennedy walked into a Press Slam Lashley was holding Kennedy up getting ready to drop Kennedy on his shoulder for a Running Powerslam but Kennedy fell on top of Lashley…

Winner:
Mr. Kennedy.WWE Intercontinental Champion: Mr. Kennedy.[/center]
Bobby Lashley kicked out just after Referee Korderas’ hand hit the mat the third time, Mr. Kennedy rolled out on to the apron on to his knees and looked straight at Jim Korderas and to Kennedy’s relief Korderas was signalling for the bell. Mr. Kennedy jumped off the ring apron raising both of his arms in victory as Jim Korderas handed him his WWE Intercontinental Championship as Justin Roberts confirmed Mr. Kennedy as the winner and still WWE Intercontinental Champion. Bobby Lashley just stayed on his back with one hand holding his ribs and one hand over his face distraught after once again failing the fans were getting behind Bobby Lashley as he sat back up but he wasn’t happy he turned to see Mr. Kennedy celebrate with his Championship as he made his way back up the aisle.
Jim Ross: “What does the future hold for Bobby Lashley now after once again after so much has been promised now he has failed again!”
Again we joined J’R, The King and JBL at ringside where they hyped that up next we would see our second Championship match of the evening when WWE United States Champion Rob Van Dam defends his Title against Randy Orton but before we get to that match they said we would see footage from yesterday’s WrestleMania Press Conference…
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H, WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rey Mysterio, WWE United States Champion Rob Van Dam, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Gregory Helms, Randy Orton and Batista were present at the Press Conference in front of a sold out attendance everyone gave their thoughts on WrestleMania. Heavyweight Champion Triple H was the last to say what he had to say as ‘The Animal’ Batista just stared out into the crowd this was the first time Batista and HHH have been in the same room since HHH spiked Batista with his Pedigree, Batista had promised that he wouldn’t touch Triple H until WrestleMania but Batista nearly went back on his word after sitting listening to Triple H tell everyone how he has Batista right where he wants him and at WrestleMania he would use and beat Batista in the middle of the ring. Triple H looked down at Batista with a sly smirk on his face and told Batista that at WrestleMania he will cement his place in history as the greatest of all time Batista had heard enough he snapped he jumped to his feet and went for HHH but before Batista could get his hands on HHH, Security got in between Champion and Challenger. Batista was held back by Security and other Superstars as Randy Orton led Triple H away, HHH had a huge smile on his face laughing at Batista and as he went through the door he shouted at Batista…
HHH: “Don’t let the pressure get to you!”
Security tried calming Batista down as he paced around on the stage as the fans were going mental chanting Batista’s name which made Batista stop look out and point at the crowd before motioning for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
“I hear voices in my head… They come to me… They understand… They talk to me…THEY TALK TO ME!!”
Randy Orton slowly made his way out with a smug look on his face his head held high the fans were all over Orton letting them know how they feel about Orton. Randy Orton has been behind a lot of controversy the last few months and he has had a lot to say Orton has promised that Batista will never become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, he is the real WWE United States Champion, RVD’s reign as the ECW T.V Championship which he held for nearly two years and made as if not more prestigious than the ECW Championship meant nothing because there was never a Randy Orton in ECW and it was full of losers. Orton likes to tell people he is a man of his word, Randy Orton was now standing on the middle rope arms wide apart smirking out at the crowd before telling the crowd he was about to become the new U.S Champion…
Sunday 27th January 2008: WWE Royal Rumble: WWE United States Championship Tournament Finals: Triple Threat Match: Rob Van Dam beat Kane and Randy Orton pinning Kane to become the first WWE United States Champion…
Randy Orton was circling the ring stretching his back over the ropes as he waited Rob Van Dam’s arrival as did the fans because a RVD chant was going round the arena. Randy Orton made a deal with WWE World Heavyweight Champion Triple H which was if Orton made sure Batista never advanced into the Semi Finals of the WWE World Heavyweight Championship so HHH wouldn’t have to face him Triple H would “pass the torch” to Orton mould him into a Champion but until that date comes they have promised to run the WWE as WWE World Heavyweight Champion and WWE United States Champion…
Fireworks went off round the entrance way as Rob Van Dam’s music hit in the arena which brought the crowd to their feet RVD calmly made his way out with his WWE United States Championship wrapped round his waist. Rob Van Dam has promised that he will make the WWE United States Championship as prestigious and as important as the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, RVD with his arms raised fists clinched above his head jumped in a circle on the spot before pointing at himself with his thumbs as the fans chanted …R…V…D…! Rob Van Dam is a cool calm laid back character but over the last few weeks with everything that Randy Orton has been saying and doing it has been clear that RVD is starting to show some emotion he has been getting frustrated and annoyed but what really caused RVD to lose it was Orton’s claims that RVD’s ECW T.V Title reign meant nothing and ECW was full of losers. RVD has dedicated this match to everyone who has more heart and talent than Randy Orton that will never get to appear on a stage as large as WrestleMania…
Rob Van Dam passed Referee Nick Patrick his WWE United States Title as Randy Orton stared a hole in RVD from the opposite corner Referee Patrick raised the Championship above his head as Justin Roberts introduced Challenger Randy Orton and Champion Rob Van Dam once Roberts had finished Referee Patrick called for the bell…

Orton was quick into the cover…

RVD kicked out but now Randy Orton had the advantage and Orton kept control of the match even when RVD tried to make a comeback Orton always managed to cut RVD off before he managed to take back control of the match it seemed as if Orton was on his way to proving he is in a fact a man of his word and becoming the new WWE United States Champion…
Orton had a reverse chin lock sunk in tight on a grounded RVD the fans were getting behind RVD but it seemed as if Orton was intent on ripping Van Dam’s head off his shoulders, RVD managed to get back to his feet but with Orton still holding on to his head RVD had to break Orton’s grip with a number of elbows to Orton’s mid section RVD then backed Orton into the corner with right hands before laying into Orton with a couple of shoulder thrusts RVD then flipped back on to his feet and went for a third running shoulder thrust but Orton countered it with what looked like another head lock but Orton turned it into a unique backbreaker and into the cover hooking RVD’s near leg, new champion?

RVD kicked out! Orton stayed on RVD by strangling him breaking on the count of four then Orton laid into RVD with a number of unprotected right hands. Orton rolled away from RVD and lay on the mat face first ready to pounce on RVD as soon as he was back to his feet Orton like a viper ready to drop Van Dam with his RKO, RVD’s up…
RKO…
Leg Sweep!!
Rob Van Dam with a great counter Randy Orton hit the back of his head hard off the mat RVD was quickly to capitalise going for his Rolling Thunder but Orton got his knees up right into RVD’s lower back RVD rolled out on to the ring apron holding his back Orton was quick to his feet where he pulled RVD via his hair through the top and middle rope before spiking RVD with a hangman’s DDT! Rob Van Dam was out cold, Orton into the cover…

… Long, long two count!!
Rob Van Dam just managed to kick out but it seemed as if Randy Orton was on his way to becoming the new WWE United States Champion because he again lined RVD up for his RKO… RVD was slow too his feet but he finally got back to his feet while Orton was getting impatient RVD then surprised Orton with a quick middle rope springboard Van Daminator which caught Orton right on the button which might have knocked Orton out cold but RVD made sure Orton was beaten by quickly nailing him with his Rolling Thunder RVD went up top stood on the top rope and with his thumbs RVD pointed at his head as the fans chanted… …ROB… …VAN… DAM!! RVD came off the top rope and nailed Orton with his 5 Star Frog Splash…

Winner:
Rob Van Dam.WWE United States Champion: Rob Van Dam.[/center]
Rob Van Dam was sitting up feeling the effects off a great hard fought match holding his stomach as Justin Roberts announced Rob Van Dam as the winner and still WWE United States Champion the fans were on their feet going crazy for RVD. Nick Patrick waited with RVD’s Championship belt until RVD managed to get back to his feet Patrick passed Van Dam his Title then raised his hand in victory, RVD put the U.S Title over his shoulder before again pointing at himself as the fans chanted his name before rolling out of the ring where RVD went and slapped hands and touched fists with the fans around ringside before making his way back up the aisle.
Randy Orton was still on his back still hurt from RVD’s 5 Star Frog Splash Orton rolled out of the ring ignoring Referee Nick Patrick who was trying to check on Orton. Randy Orton slowly made his way back up the aisle; maybe this defeat is a sign of things to come tonight for Orton and Triple H who promised to rule the WWE after WrestleMania as the WWE United States Champion and WWE World Heavyweight Champion respectively and that can only be good news for ‘The Animal’ Batista!
Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and JBL were shown again on screen starting to hype the next match off the evening which would be the 12 Man Tag Team Match pitting Team Foley (Mick Foley, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Tommy Dreamer, Harry Smith and Colt Cabana) V Team Flair (Ric Flair, MVP, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Kenny Dykstra and Ted DiBiase)…
“What the hell are these two doing out here” – Jerry Lawler…
Brett and Brian Major, The Major Brothers were making their way down the aisle with microphone in hands they promised this past Friday on Smack Down to be here tonight to shock the world but they are not scheduled to be here tonight they haven’t earned the right to compete on the biggest stage of them all as of yet.
Brett Major said Friday on Smack Down they promised to come to WrestleMania tonight and steal the show Brett continued by saying after tonight what ever happens what ever goes down come tomorrow morning all anyone will be talking about is what they are about to reveal. Brian Major said he wasn’t sure if what they are about to do was the right way to go but after weeks and weeks of being disrespected by the fans, WWE Superstars he now knows it is the only way to go. Brian Major said it was now time to let the world in on their little secret which is they are not who people seem to think they are but before The Major Brothers could continue some WWE Referee’s and Agents made their way out to ringside and ordered The Major’s out of the ring. Brett snapped telling them that they had something to say and they weren’t going anywhere until they have said it and there was no one who could stop them. JR, King and JBL were going crazy on Commentary saying The Major Brothers were holding WrestleMania hostage and saying that that it was an honour to compete at WrestleMania and they haven’t earned the right yet to appear at WrestleMania. Brett and Brian were still refusing to leave the ring telling the agents that they weren’t going anywhere and no body could make them, King said he has had enough and he wasn’t going to let these punks get away with this and he asked JBL if he fancied joining him JBL said he would love to kick their teeth down their throats. King and JBL stood up behind their desk and Brian Major noticed this and told King and JBL they were passed it and if they stood in the ring they would show the world that King and JBL are nothing more than two washed up old timers. King and JBL got onto the ring apron with the crowd egging them on King got into the ring first but then JBL jumped off the ring apron and made his way back behind the broadcast table both King and JR looked at JBL in shock but JBL never said anything. The Major Brothers circled King and Brett told King that JBL like all the women in King’s life realise that he is a loser and now it was time for the new Kings of Wrestling to be crowned…
The arena erupted as glass shattered and Stone Cold Steve Austin made his way down the aisle to a thunderous ovation from the sold out crowd in attendance. The Major Brothers were in shock and turned to face Austin as he made his way into the ring Austin with a right hand to Brett then with one to Brian fans going crazy Austin bangs The Major Brothers heads together before stamping a mud hole in Brett Major in the corner, Brian tried to sneak up on Austin but The King spun Brian around and rocked him with a huge right hand which set him up perfectly for a Stone Cold Stunner!! Austin’s up but he has been spun around by Brett Major but Austin ducked Major’s right hand before nailing him too with a Stone Cold Stunner!! Fans were going absolutely crazy for Stone Cold Steve Austin who was calling for the beers to be thrown into the ring they soon came flying in Austin passed one to The King before climbing the turnbuckles to toast the crowd. Austin poured a couple of beers over the fallen Major Brothers with never got to hear how they were going to shock the world but they were right about one thing come tomorrow morning we would be talking about The Major Brothers and how they got their asses kicked by the ‘Texas Rattlesnake’ Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin went out to ringside and passed his friend Jim Ross a beer before getting JBL’s cowboy hat and pouring beer into it before getting back into the middle of the ring before raising one final toast to the crowd before making his way back up the aisle before going back through the entrance way Austin stood at the top of the stage with his arms raised high in the air.
“From one legend to another two in Mick Foley and Ric Flair and the 10 WWE Superstars they have predicted will do well in their careers here in the WWE, let’s see how this huge 12 Man Tag Team Match come about”…
Video aired looking at the rivalry between Mick Foley and Ric Flair which started here in the WWE after Mick Foley refused to give Ric Flair a standing ovation but we soon found out it went a lot further back than that going back many years and it was very personal. Mick Foley beat Ric Flair at the Royal Rumble with a handful of tights and after the match Foley laid Flair out by trapping him in his Mr. Socko assisted Mandible Claw in their rematch which was a No Disqualification Match Flair beat a bloody Foley after a Piledriver on a barbwire wrapped steel chair but that wasn’t enough for Flair because after the match locked Foley in his Figure Four Leg Lock and Mick Foley tapped out! Foley has always accused Flair off holding back talent so in agreeing to the rematch Foley made Flair agree to a 12 Man Tag Team Match at WrestleMania with them picking 5 men each to represent them, 5 men each who they believe have a great future ahead of them here in the WWE the video then looked at the 10 men that have been picked MVP, Harry Smith, Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, Tommy Dreamer, Kenny Dykstra, Colt Cabana and CM Punk who is going to make a name for themselves at WrestleMania!
CM Punk was out first for Team Foley and Punk made his way out to a good ovation from the fans; Punk was Mick Foley’s first pick with Foley being impressed with Punk’s heart, guts, passion and desire. Punk also has a competitive rivalry going with MVP which has seen both men score a big victory over the other plus Punk has had problems with an old school friend in Colt Cabana who Punk teams with tonight Punk went on a losing streak which started the night Cabana debuted, Punk has criticised Cabana since but this past Friday on Smack Down it seemed Punk and Cabana put their differences aside for the good of the team because after some encouragement from Cody Rhodes and Tommy Dreamer; CM Punk and Colt Cabana shook hands.
Harry Smith was next out to a polite ovation from the crowd Smith a 2nd Generation Superstar the son of the late ‘British Bulldog’ Davey Boy Smith and trained in the Hart Family Dungeon was a surprising choice by Foley, Smith formed a team with Paul Burchill in tribute to his Father but just as the team seemed to be finding their feet they quietly seemed to go their own way. Punk and Smith embraced as Tommy Dreamer’s music hit in the arena and Dreamer’s hometown crowd gave their returning son a huge welcome back…
Tommy Dreamer was over the moon to be part off WrestleMania he came out slapping hands with the fans. Mick Foley admitted in picking Tommy Dreamer that he broke his own rules in making this match because Foley said he and Flair had to pick 10 men who were the future of this business but it would be fair to say that Tommy Dreamer maybe reaching the end of his career. Foley said he picked Tommy Dreamer because if had to choose one man who has earned to compete at WrestleMania it would be Tommy Dreamer and this year maybe Dreamer’s only chance so he wanted to make sure Tommy Dreamer got to compete on the biggest stage of them all before he called it a day…
Colt Cabana ran out on to the stage next jumping up and down on the spot before making his way down the aisle; Colt Cabana asked Mick Foley a number of times to be a part of his team but Foley refused a number of times before snapping at Cabana that he never thought he had a bright future in the business and that he would never pick him as part of his team but then when Mick Foley made an Open Invitational Battle Royal where the winner would gain the last spot on his team and who would win it none other than Colt Cabana. Mick Foley has since apologised to Cabana admitted Cabana proved him wrong and also after Smack Down it seems as if Colt Cabana has finally won over CM Punk and earned his respect.
Cody Rhodes was out next calmly making his way down the aisle, Rhodes another 2nd Generation Superstar the son of ‘The American Dream’ Dusty Rhodes was set up a couple of weeks ago by his Father’s greatest rival none other than ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair and Kenny Dykstra who has become jealous of Rhodes who has been impressing the right people Dykstra tried to hit Rhodes where it hurt most by moving in on Rhodes girl friend Mickie James but to no avail. Rhodes has said he’s sick and tired of playing kids games and wants to step out of his Father’s footsteps and leave his own legacy here in the WWE.
CM Punk, Harry Smith, Tommy Dreamer, Colt Cabana and Cody Rhodes were all in the ring now waiting for the captain of their team to come out and they didn’t have to wait long as we heard the screeching of the tyres which meant the arrival of the former three times World Champion and ‘Hardcore Legend’.
Mick Foley came out to a huge ovation Foley came out waving and pointing at the crowd before shaking hands with a few fans before rolling into the ring where he shouted out ‘Bang, Bang’ and showed off his gun fingers. Foley embraced his team mates giving out the hugs before calling them all together for a group huddle but as Foley was going over the game plan they were interrupted by MVP’s music hitting…
“1… 2… You hear the clock ticking? Tick-tock you about to stop living tick-tock I want you to remember me tick tock but the day don't have any memory… I’M COMING!!”[/size][/size]
