Chapter 58 is here guys and it is now time for the Royal Rumble pay-per-view. This is going to be a long chapter, but I hope you are all ready for it. I also want to congratulate the NXT talent once again for another amazing show. While Vince continues fucking up his buildup for WrestleMania, the NXT talent will continue to steal the show.
That is why I am not looking forward much to WrestleMania. All except for the WWE Championship match. I hope Drew McIntyre wins the title and he becomes champion. He deserves it after all the crap Vince put him through after losing his big push the first time he was in WWE and after Vince fucked up his run after leaving NXT.
As for the rest of the show…I'm sure it will be okay. Just not as hyped for the show as I am for NXT's next TakeOver show before WrestleMania. They always know how to get the fans going before the biggest show of the year. And always steal it away from the main roster.
Also, shit Shanya took a bite out of Becky's neck. Not sure if that was really planned or if it was a fuck up. Or if that was fake blood. Hmm either way…Shanya's got a taste for human flesh now…be afraid people.
Anyways, it is time for the Royal Rumble chapter. How will things go for Ruby in her first Royal Rumble since 2017? Think she should win it all? Check out the chapter to find out.
All right, well with what being said we should get started with the disclaimer. I don't own anything from WWE. I only own my OCs. Although, let's be honest do they own the people themselves? Probably not.
Still, better safe than sorry. Now, let the chapter begin.

However, Frankie refused to stay down and kept on fighting as he looks to retain his title. The winner of this match also goes on to the Royal Rumble, while the loser is taken out.
Frankie soon began making his comeback and began hitting Joe with his best moves. Soon, Frankie begins to set things up for the finish. But Joe rolled to the outside and Franke went after him for a Suicide Dive. But Joe caught him and throws him on the announce table.
Joe then this Frankie with a Powerbomb on the apron before throwing him back into the ring. Joe sets Frankie into the corner and hits the Muscle Buster! Joe goes for the cover getting one…two…and three! Samoa Joe has done it and has won the United States title!

Soon, Ambrose began choking Elias on the ropes, biting him, and even beats him in the corner as the referee keeps warning him to get Elias out of the corner. Each time, Ambrose keeps pushing how far he'll bend the rules, but made sure not to get himself disqualified. He was not going to give Elias any chance to get another rematch if he is given a DQ win.

"Welcome, Ruby. You ready for tonight?" Shane asked as he shook her hand.
Ruby nods in response as she shakes her hand together. "Oh yeah. Just haven't done this in a while so. This should be interesting."
"Don't worry. I know the feeling," said Kurt as he recalls his first time competing in the Royal Rumble. "But just remember the rules, be smart, and you'll win it."
Ruby chuckled softly and nods. "And make sure to get the right number couldn't hurt," she replied knowing that was very important.
"That too," said Shane as he spins the wheel and waits for Ruby to tell him to stop.
Ruby motions for him to stop spinning and soon moves her hand in to see with ball to pick. She soon got one ball and pulls it out before she opens it. She carefully takes the paper out and gives a small little prayer before she opens it. She lets out a small sigh and begins chuckling softly.

"Oh? And what could you have gotten that is less than mine?" Sakura asked as Ruby shows her number and caused Sakura to understand Ruby's response. "Well…you never know. You could still make it to the end. You know, before I eliminate you."
Ruby chuckled softly once more and turns to her friend. "Oh? Is that so. You think you'll eliminate me from the match?"
"Well," Sakura turns to her friend and smiles. "Yes, I do think I'll eliminate you from the match."
Ruby scoffed a little, but she knew in the position Sakura is in the Rumble she could do it. "Well then, we'll find out when you come out then huh?"
"Just don't get eliminate early on before I come out," said Sakura as she pats her friend on the back before she takes off. "See you out there…or not."
Ruby gives a fake laugh knowing if she is not careful, she could get eliminated in the match before Sakura does. "I better plan this out then," she said to herself as she begins going over ideas of what she can do in the match to make it to the end. "Don't got a lot of time. Better get busy then."

They help him out and motion that the three of them could work together. Daniels seems to agree with this idea as Ziggler hits Sakura with the Zig-Zag and then is attacked by the others.
Daniels and Ruby go at it against Ziggler as they beat him down in the corner. All while the next participant is coming out at number 29…10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1…*Beep!*

She then throws him down before she begins taking his place. The crowd cheered when they saw this as Nia heads to the ring to join the other women who made history in the men's Royal Rumble.
Nia comes into the ring and hits a Body Splash to Ziggler before hitting Andrade with a Clothesline. She then hits a Big Boot to Rey knocking him down. Nia turns to Ali who isn't sure what to do about this, which gave Nia a chance to hit a headbutt to Ali and then lift him up before tossing him over the top rope!
Nia begins trash talking to Ali, but when she turned around, she sees Ruby and Sakura standing behind her. The two women weren't afraid to hit her like Ali was as Nia charges at them. They duck and hit her with a double Superkick! Rey hits her with a Dropkick into the middle rope and hits the 619!

Ruby and Sakura decide to work together with Daniels, while Ziggler tries to work with Seth and Andrade knowing their three opponents will work together. Soon, they begin going at it as Seth goes after Ruby, Sakura goes after Ziggler, and Andrade after Daniels as they go back and forth. All six trying to eliminate each other.
Ziggler goes for a Superkick on Sakura, but she caught his foot and spins him as she goes for a high knee. Ziggler move out of the way and goes for s Back Suplex. But Sakura landed behind hm and chops his back from behind. She then goes for a Superkick of her own, but Ziggler caught the foot then pulls it down before hitting her with a headbutt.

Ziggler soon grabs her to try eliminating her, but Sakura pushed him back and sprays the green mist in his face!
Ziggler yells in pain as he couldn't see where he is at. Sakura runs over and eliminates Ziggler! However, Andrade raked Daniels in the eyes and eliminates Sakura from behind like how he did with Orton. Ruby hits a German Suplex on Seth and then rolls him over to go for a Superkick! Seth caught her foot and hits a V-Trigger causing her to fall to the mat.
Andrade knocks Seth down and then goes for the Hammerlock DDT! Daniels hits him from behind and goes for the Angel's Wings. Until, Zelina Vega came out to provide the distraction.

Seth then grabs Daniels and throws him over eliminating him. This caused the fans to boo loudly at him as Seth turns to Ruby to see it is down to two now.
Seth knew Ruby has been at this for an hour and she has to be exhausted. More than him as he grabs Ruby and prepares to throw her over. However, Ruby lifts Seth up and hits the TKO! The crowd cheered loudly as both Ruby and Seth are now both down.
The fans begin clapping for both competitors as Ruby slowly begins moving, while Seth rolling over to the corner. Ruby summoned what strength she has and kicks up as the crowd cheers loudly for her. Ruby gets fired up as she runs over to hit Seth with a Corner Crossbody! Ruby then goes between the ropes and pushes Seth forward before she goes to the top and goes for the Blockbuster!
She hits it and then rolls Seth over before she goes for the Rolling German Suplex. However, Seth held on to the corner and Ruby rolls backwards. Seth runs over and goes for a Running High-Knee, but Ruby moves out of the way and kicks Seth in the gut. She then lifts him up for a Suplex, but Seth managed to fight it off before he lands behind her.

Seth grabs Ruby and throws her over eliminating her! The bell rings and the match is over! The crowd cheered loudly as Seth Rollins celebrates his win!
"Here is your winner, of the 2019 Royal Rumble…SETH ROLLINS!" Greg Hamilton announced as Seth celebrates his win tonight.
All while Ruby looks on from the floor completely exhausted and also upset, she lost the match. She went on an hour in this match and in the end she lost. She leans against the barricade angry at herself for not being more careful in this match. She should have just gone back in the ring, but instead she went for a big move and it cost her.
She begins slowly getting up as she sees Seth continue his celebration and points to the WrestleMania sign. Ruby just hopes Seth will challenge Bobby Lashley instead of Daniel Bryan. If he does then she'll get a second chance to regain her WWE title. But, she needs to earn her shot and then try winning it back.
She heads to the back as the pyro goes off and Seth continues his celebration. Seth did earn this win and now will go on to WrestleMania. Ruby looks back at the WrestleMania sign and sighed. She will go to WrestleMania and doesn't care what she has to do to get back there.
But she will go on to WrestleMania and win back her WWE title.

That's the end of the chapter and yeah Ruby lost the match. She was close. Oh, so very close to winning it all. But in the end, Seth ended up winning the Royal Rumble and now goes on to fight for any world title he wants. Also, yeah, I made some changes in the participants in the match and added some different ones.
Made some changes as well as who comes in where. I would have done the women's match, but this was going to be a very long one, so I decided to focus on just one match. Still, I gave details of what happened with the women's Royal Rumble match. And down below you'll see who came in and who got eliminated.
The names, then eliminated by who, and then the number of when they got eliminated. That way you all know who got eliminated and how things went.
Anyways, how will things go from here on out? Will they go the same as last year? Or will things turn out differently? Or think it will remain the same with a certain member of the New Day getting a shot at the WWE title instead?
Check out the next chapter to find out and also thanks again to my friend theXman99 for his help on the story. I appreciate it and glad this is going well. Also, thanks guys for the reviews and support. I appreciate it also and glad you are having a good time.
