Royal Rumble: 29/1/2006
WWE Royal Rumble was live in in the American Airlines Arena in Miami, Florida. The opening match was a 6-Way Cruiserweight Open match for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship which was held by Kid Kash at the time. Funaki, Jamie Noble, Nunzio, Paul London and Raw superstar Gregory Helms joined the match to challenge Kash for the Cruiserweight Championship. A memorable spot from this match was Paul London executing a shooting star press onto all of the challengers. Gregory Helms executed a flying neckbreaker on London. Kid Kash nailed London with a Dead Level. He covered London but Nunzio and Funaki broke up the count. Noble held Funaki in the dragon sleeper. Helms attempted a shining wizard on Noble, but he avoided the move. Helms threw Noble out of the ring and then pinned Funaki after a shining wizard to win the Cruiserweight title.
The second match was a divas match between Mickie James and Ashley Massaro. Trish Stratus was the Special Guest Referee for this match. Before the match started, Mickie told Trish backstage that she loved her. While the match started, Ashley worked over Mickie's arm. While Ashley pounded Mickie into the corner, Trish pulled Mickie. Mickie would later up work out on Ashley's back and neck. Ashley made a comeback in the match but finally Mickie powerbombed her to win the match.
In the third match The Boogeyman faced John "Bradshaw" Layfield (with his valet Jillian Hall). In the match, JBL tried to do everything to measure out Boogeyman. Finally, JBL had Boogeyman measured and went for the Clothesline from Hell but he missed the move and was sent crashing shoulder first into the post. Boogeyman nailed JBL with a pumphandle slam to win the match. After the match, he tried to throw worms in JBL's mouth but JBL threw his valet Jillian into the ring and Boogeyman threw worms in her mouth.
The next match was the 2006 Royal Rumble match.
In the arena, Triple H's theme hits and the Cerebral Assassin comes out to boos from the fans. He makes his way down to the ring, doing his usual entrance with the water bottle and gets into the ring, posing on the turnbuckles and his theme dies down as he waits to see who is the second entrant in the Royal Rumble match.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
'Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah! Get up, come on get down with the sickness!'
Down with the Sickness plays to a loud pop and out comes the Bladewolf in his return. He had not been seen since December, but now he was back in his 5th Royal Rumble match appearance and was looking to win and go to the Main Event of WrestleMania 22.
Bladewolf takes his metallic mask off halfway down the walkway, tossing it aside, he takes his coat off and tosses it aside before he gets onto the ring apron and steps over the top rope, never once taking his eyes off Triple H. Two men who desire to be World Champion again and don't like each other with their history together.
Bladewolf's theme dies down before the bell is rung.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Triple H and Bladewolf start with a collar and elbow tie up before Bladewolf, with quickness, gets behind Triple H to grab him and hits a German Suplex across the ring. Bladewolf gets to his feet and walks towards Triple H, landing a hard right hand to the skull of Triple H, then uppercuts him before he stomps on Triple H in the corner. Bladewolf pulls Triple H up but the Cerebral Assassin fires back with a fury of rights then boots Bladewolf in the stomach, goes for the Pedigree but Bladewolf breaks out of it, lifts Triple H and drives him into the corner.
Bladewolf lands a left and a right then unleashes a fur of lefts and rights, forcing Triple H to cover up. Bladewolf drives his knee into the ribs of Triple H then he grabs Triple H's right knee and applies a hold on it, causing Triple H to yell in pain as he struggles to get out of the hold.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Down with the Sickness plays as an exhausted Bladewolf falls to his hands and knees before he sits back on his knees. He looks around before getting to his feet and flips his hair back. "Here is your winner..THE BLADEWOLF!"
For the first time in his near 10 year career in WWE, the Bladewolf has won the Royal Rumble match. He made history by being the second man to win it as the second entrant, Vince McMahon being the first to do so at the 1999 event, and eliminated 15 men. He gets to face whichever Champion at WrestleMania, but the question is...who? Will it be the World Heavyweight Champion or the WWE Champion?
Bladewolf does the title gesture across his waist then he raises his arms before throwing them down, causing lightning to strike the turnbuckles and fire shoots up in response. Bladewolf's demonic hellfire eyes stare at the WrestleMania 22 sign before he leaves the ring and starts heading to the back, taking his gloves off and tossing them into the crowd and heads backstage...
Well, Bladewolf has now won the Royal Rumble match and he will choose the WWE Championship, just to tell you that. Don't worry, rey Mysterio will still get his World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 22, and John Cena may or may not be the WWE Champion as I have a plan on who may be the WWE Champion come WrestleMania 22.
This doesn't mean I hate John Cena, he's one of my favourite wrestlers...I just HATED how he was given title shot after title shot without earning them, like in 2011 when Rey Mysterio won his first WWE Championship, he had to face John Cena who was just GIVEN the match. Could've waited until the next event to have his rematch, but no he wanted it the night Rey won the big one.
