Clips of fireworks displays from Royal Rumble events were shown, as the WWE promo narrator started to speak
"The Royal Rumble; a global phenomenon created by World Wrestling Entertainment. It is a very special type of match."
Afterwards, clips of Royal Rumble matches from 1988 up to 2012 were showcased, showing people entering, fighting, and then eliminating and/or getting eliminated.
"The rules are simple: Two people start in the ring. In fixed intervals, another wrestler would enter the ring, and would continue until everybody has entered. Elimination is done by being thrown over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. The last man standing in the ring would be declared a winner."
Footage of people winning the Royal Rumble, like Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Edge, Sheamus, Rey Mysterio and the FanFiction Royal Rumble winner Stone Cold Steve Austin.
"He's done it!"
"He has made history!"
"How is this match so special to us as it is to the WWE? Let's count the ways!"
More footage of the Royal Rumble matches played as the narrator continued.
"60 people who have currently entered a FanFiction Royal Rumble match."
Footage of wrestlers entering the ring at the first FanFiction Royal Rumble, like Kevin Nash, Ric Flair, Edge, John Cena, Alberto Del Rio, Chris Jericho, Zack Ryder, Triple H, The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin, was shown with the number "30" at one side.
"30 of these participants are professional wrestlers. 5 of these men are WWE Hall of Famers, which are about 17% of the wrestlers who have participated."
More footage of people entering from the first FanFiction Royal Rumble was shown, this time with Peter Griffin, Muscle Man, Justin, Mordecai, Owen, Brian Griffin, Heather and Ian and Anthony of Smosh fame entering. The "30" was at the other side of the screen.
"The other 30 of the participants are people from video games, anime, TV shows, among other things."
Clips of powerhouse characters, like Big Show, Owen, Kevin Nash and Brock Lesnar, were shown.
"Over 10,000 pounds of weight have entered the Rumble. That's about 5 tons, or about 22 Big Shows."
"That is one big man!"
In comes a clip of Big Show getting eliminated at the first FanFiction Royal Rumble, with the number "7" at the side.
"7 is the number of the most amount of people that took one participant out of the match, which, in this example, is Big Show."
"Big Show has been eliminated!"
Footage of Santino Marella's elimination at the 2009 edition of the WWE's Royal Rumble played, as the number "1.9" appeared.
"1.9 seconds. For two years, Santino Marella has carried this record for the shortest elimination in a Royal Rumble match. While WWE has this record, we have one-upped them..."
A clip of Michael Cole getting eliminated at the first FanFiction Royal Rumble was shown with the number "1.8".
"...because of the fact that Michael Cole, the unluckiest commentator alive, was eliminated with 10 milliseconds shaved off the previous record time."
Cue a clip of Michael Cole pissed off after his elimination.
"He may have broken Santino's record!"
We then cut to a clip of Rey Mysterio entering and winning the 2006 WWE Royal Rumble.
"Speaking of record times, while not breaking Rey Mysterio's longest lasting time from the 2006 Royal Rumble..."
"He did it! Rey Mysterio did it!"
The footage transitions to clips of John Cena dominating in the previous FanFiction Royal Rumble, with "45:11" at the side.
"John Cena currently holds the record of the longest lasting superstar in a FanFiction Royal Rumble match, with 45 minutes and 11 seconds."
"Will he go all the way?"
Afterwards, Kane is shown eliminating people in the first FanFiction Royal Rumble, like Dolph Ziggler, the Angry Video Game Nerd, Batman, Kofi Kingston and Evan Bourne. The number "12" is shown at the side the whole time the montage was shown.
"Kane currently holds two records: the most eliminations in one match, and the most eliminations in all matches, all with the magic number 12. And will anybody top this monstrous record this year?"
A montage of flags being grabbed in the first FanFiction Royal Rumble was shown, with the number 8 at the side.
"8. The amount of flags that have been used so far, and the number for the most flags used in one match!"
After the flag montage, clips of superstars posing, taunting and being excited from both WWE/TNA and the first edition of the FanFiction Royal Rumble were shown.
"And with the bar raised to 80 superstars, this is bound to be the biggest Royal Rumble of all time!"
The footage then faded out after a clip of Stone Cold Steve Austin winning the first FanFiction Royal Rumble.
(Song playing: "Hero" by Skillet)
Another montage begins, this time much, much longer, and going all around the place, people getting eliminated, others just getting the shit beaten out of them, all from not only the first FanFiction Royal Rumble, but other Royal Rumble events, along with extra footage including TNA and WWE wrestlers who have not yet entered a Royal Rumble.
"The Royal Rumble is one of the most anticipated events every year it comes by, but here at FanFiction, we top them with an even larger series of Rumbles! This time around, the winner wins one hundred thousand dollars in cash, along with getting their names in the record books! Who will win? Who will be... the one?"
I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
(Fallin' off the edge today)
The epic montage continues, with stuff like Kane accepting a handshake from Dolph Ziggler at the 2009 Royal Rumble, only to toss him out instead, Anthony spearing Master Chief through a table, Edge throwing John Cena out in the 2010 Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar F5ing Stone Cold through a table, Randy Orton RKOing dozens of people (from various Royal Rumbles), Ryback doing his Shell Shock finisher, and Shawn Michaels superkicking Shelton Benjamin out of the ring during the 2008 Rumble.
I am just a man
Not superhuman
(I'm not superhuman)
Someone save me from the hate
It's just another war
Just another family torn
(My voice will be heard today)
It's just another kill
5... 4... 3... 2...
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
1... *BZZT* The Royal Rumble action continues.
I need a hero to save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero to save my life
A hero'll save me (just in time)
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
We're in the fight of our lives
(And we're not ready to die)
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero (I've got a hero)
Livin' in me
I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
(I will be ready to die)
A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
I need a hero
Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I need a hero
I need a hero
"Buckle your seatbelts, ladies and gentlemen, it's Rumble time once again!"
A hero's gonna save me just in time
The 2010 Royal Rumble logo appeared, but it had a blue stripe going through it.

We now cut to Madison Square Garden, where the 2008 Royal Rumble set is seen. However, this time, it has blue and white going all around, with a blue-white-blue rope set, a blue ring apron with white ring mat, a dark-blueish barricade surrounding the ringside area with the FanFiction logo at the corners and white commentary tables. Fireworks of various colors shot all around the arena, as "Hero" continued playing. The crowd was in a frenzy, as some held signs, like "Austin 3:16", "Total Drama for Life", "Charlie Sheen is God" and "Ready 2 Rumble".
A camera panned over to Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole, who were sitting by one of the commentary tables.
Jim Ross: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the second ever FanFiction Royal Rumble!
Michael Cole: We are live in Madison Square Garden, to a crowd of 75,000! Hello, everybody, I'm Michael Cole, here with Jerry "The King" Lawler and "Good Ol' JR" Jim Ross!
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, but it's not just us commentating tonight, because we have a few more guys with us! Give it up for TNA's Tazz and Mike Tenay, along with play-by-play legend Joey Styles!
Pan to the other table, in which the three other commentators sat at it.
Joey Styles: Thanks for having us, King!
Tazz: Man, this is going to be great! 80 superstars going against each other, it's gonna be a rocket buster for sure!
Mike Tenay: Yes, it will! Now, as the rest of you probably remember, two years ago, a 60-man Royal Rumble took place, and the winner was none other than Stone Cold Steve Austin!
Jerry Lawler: Yeah, and now we're here again, but the stakes have never been higher! Not only has the Rumble grown to 80 participants, there is a new prize of 100,000 dollars in cash to the winner of this Royal Rumble!
Jim Ross: We have seen quite a bit of the participants, such as returning stars CM Punk, Peter Griffin, The Rock, Justin, John Cena and Batman, along with newcomers such as Alejandro, Ryback, Johnny Cage, Sheamus and the Ultimate Warrior! It's definitely going to be one hell of a slobberknocker tonight!
Mike Tenay: And even more newcomers! Quite a bit of these new entrants will be more wrestlers from TNA, like the Cowboy James Storm and the Olympic Gold Medalist Kurt Angle!
Joey Styles: We are just about to get underway with the Royal Rumble, but let's get to Justin Roberts in the ring for the reciting of the rules of the Royal Rumble!

...Which will be in the next chapter, actually. Next time, we finally see the first entrants of the Royal Rumble (which will be four starting off instead of two). Who will they be? We will soon find out! Same time (kinda), same place, stay tuned, woo-woo-WOOOOOO!
