Show opens w/ Raw Theme as Tony Chimel comes down to the ring.
We rise for the national anthem.
Teddy Long comes out to remind us that we are on the road to the Royal Rumble and
lists the main events of the evening. Carlito and Santino come out to interrupt but
end up arguing with eachother about witch one of them will win the Royal Rumble.
Teddy tells them they should be more worried about their tag team title match
against Cody Rhodes and Bob Holly.
Bob "Hardcore" Holly and Cody Rhodes def. Carlito and Santino Marella via Alabama
Slam to retain World Tag Team Championships.
"The Worlds Strongest Man" Mark Henry def. Nunzio via tap-out by Bear-hug in a
squash match. Crowd actually had decent pops for both superstars.
"The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer def. Elija Burke via Dreamer DDT in a
great one-on-one match up. Good pops for Both.
"MVP" Montel Vontavious Porter def. Kane via Illegal Roll-up w/ ropes in an open
challenge match for the WWE United States Championship. Good pop for both.
Armando Alejandro Estrada informs us that instead of tonights Chavo Gurrero vs. CM
Punk match being a rematch for the ECW World Championship, it will be a Royal
Rumble qualifying match for CM Punk.
CM Punk def. ECW World Champion Chavo Gurerro via GTS to earn his spot in the
30-man Royal Rumble match.
Intermission
"The King of Kings" Triple H def. "The Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga via Pedigree in a
Steel Cage match. Good match featuring HHH hitting a sick DDT on a steel chair.
WWE Divas Hottest Body contest saw Maria def. Layla and Kelly Kelly for tilte of
hottest body.
Afterwards WWE Womens Champion "The Glamizon" Beth Phoenix came down and attempted
to beat down Maria and Kelly, but they got the upper hand and tossed Beth out of
the ring.
JBL informs us that unlike himself, the NE Patriots can't win w/out cheating. Also
reminds us that Rhode Island is smaller than New York City. He also tells us we
all are fat and enjoy Dunkin Donuts.
"Y2J" Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy def. Randy Orton and "JBL" John Bradshaw
Layfield via Swanton Bomb. HEAT for JBL and some decent pops for Orton. I guess
people can't deny talent. JBL and Jericho fight to back leaving Orton to get hit
w/ Twist of Fate and Swnton for the finish. Little kids love Jeff Hardy!
Edge def. Rey Mysterio and Batista to retain the World Heavyweight Championship in
a Triple Threat Match. I honestly missed the finsh of the match. But, Edge ripped

Report by: Arman Mirza, rajah.com reader
Got to show about an hour before it started. After talking to some scalpers,
finally purchased floor seats from the box office with my friend. When we got in we
saw Rick the SIgn Guy in our section but in 1st row. I took a picture w/him and hes
an awesome guy. Acts the same way you'd picture him to. He did tell someone he
wasn't paid by WWE but I'm sure he gets some perks such as reserved front row
seating, especially since it seemed at least 50% of wrestlers acknowledged him. He
should be paid by WWE he's sooo fan friendly. Anyways heres results:
Teddy Long came out announced top 4 matches of the card an that Vickie wasn't in
the house. Santino then came out said he was gonna win the Rumble. Carlito came
out soon after and they argued that if it came down to them two one would throw
the other over. Teddy then said Providence came to see wrestling which led to the
1st match of the night.
World Tag Team Title Match
Carlito and Santino Marella vs Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes
-Heels dominated whole match.
-Solid opener.
-Holly finally got in cleaned house got Alabama Slam on Santino and Carlito by
this point was walking away and Holly and Cody easily retained.
Winners: Holly and Rhodes
Singles Match
Mark Henry vs Nunzio
-Squash match with Henry winning with the bear hug.
Winner: Henry
Singles Match
Elijah Burke vs Tommy Dreamer
-Lots of stalling by Burke.
-ECW Chants towards Dreamer.
-Dreamer hit DDT I believe for the win, but I do know he did win.
-Good to see Dreamer at least win at house shows.
Winner: Dreamer
Tony Chimmel, the announcer fo the night announced this was a US Title Open
Challenge. MVP came out and said it was a tune up for Flair match the Rumble and
he challenged anyone and Kane accepted.
US Title Match
Kane vs MVP
-Lots of stalling by MVP again and at this point I figured they were gonna avoid
any injuries heading in to the PPV.
-Kane chants were strong and people were really behind Kane.
-MVP won with roll up and holding on to the ropes.
Winner: MVP
As Punk and Chavo stood in the ring Armando came out, and at this point I was
grabbing beer with my pal cause I couldn't take how slow the show was going so I
figured a beer would help. That turned in to 4 expensive ass beers but anyways,
Armando said it wouldn't be for the ECW Championship, as advertised by Teddy Long
earlier. Instead if Punk won he'd get a spot in the Rumble.
Rumble Qualifying Match
CM Punk vs Chavo Guerrero
-Solid ass match.
-Good ass wrestling, which is odd to find now a days with WWE.
-Lots of close finishes and reversals.
-Punk hit the GTS for the win.
Winner: Punk
Intermission
-They set up the cage for the next match and my boy whose 21 bought me cpl more
beers.
Steel Cage Match
Umaga vs Triple H
-I wa surprised how much wasn't held back.
-Umaga even pulled off HHH off the cage, although it seemed smaller than most
cages seen on tv.
-Umaga looks to be gaining quite a few pounds.
-HHH finally hit pedigree for win after an awesome match.
Winner: HHH
Hot Body Contest
Kelly Kelly, Layla and Maria
-Maria looks fn good as hell in a skimpy bikini and its rare to see her in that.
-Kelly Kelly sure as hell has an ass on her. You cant see it on tv but daaaamn.
-I thinks its quite funny, Kelly cant dance so when music hits during body
contests she'll just do like "fan interaction" type sexual maneuvers haha.
-Kelly Kelly seemed to get loudest cheer, although I went crazy for Maria over the
other 2 and Maria did win.
Winner: Maria
Tag Team Match
Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy vs JBL and Randy Orton
-First off JBL has lost quite a few pounds. More like A LOT OF pounds. I give
him sooo much credit for getting in ring shape and hope this return to the ring
goes well.
-Another good match but same idea as owner. Heels dominated Y2J, who def put on a
clinic and showed us what pure wrestling is, and then JBL and Y2J brawled to the
back.
-Hardy came in took over, hit Twist of Fate then Swanton.
-Winners: Jericho and Hardy
Main Event
Triple Threat World Heavyweight Title Match
Edge vs Batista vs Rey Mysterio
-Pretty good match.
-I turned head and Edge had rolled up Batista outta nowhere then Hawkins and Ryder
were out celebrating so I'm guessing they were how Edge rolled up Batista.
-Good to see WWE allowing heels to win main events at house shows now.
Winner: Edge
After the show Batista held on to the World Heavyweight Title as Edge and the
Edgeheads left the ring. He finally handed it to Rey and exited the ring. Rey
shook peoples hands and show ended.
