(After the opening Royal Rumble package)
Michael: It's the first stop on the 2021 road to Wrestlemania, this... is the Royal Rumble. I'm Michael Cole, joining me at ringside now is Raw's Byron Saxton and my fellow Smackdown live commentator Corey Graves.
Byron: Oh man, this is my favorite part of the year! You just never know what will happen in the Royal Rumble match.
Corey: Its a rare occurrence that I actually agree with Byron on anything, but the Royal Rumble has always had plenty of surprises. Tonight will be know different.
Michael: But first we kick things off with a clash from Cartoon Network's golden year.
Ding, ding, ding.
Mike: This opening contest is scheduled for onefall and is for the WWE 24/7 championship.
(2016 Powerpuff Girls Theme)
As the new version of the theme to the classic cartoon played, out comes the muscle of the titular girls in her original PPG form. Flying around the Thunderdome before landing on the middle of the stage to a display of pyro.
Mike: First, introducing the challenger... from Townesville, representing the Powerpuff Girls... BUTTERCUP UTONIUM!
Buttercup then did a Goldbreg style flurry of punches to the air before making her way to the ring, but as she made her entrance Butch's theme cut hers off. Making her grown, "Dick." she muttered as she slid into the ring.
As Devastate by The Heroes Lie played, Butch came out in his usual outfit and green jacket. He then held up the title he's held all month now.
Mike: And her opponent, from Townesville, representing the Rowdyruff Boys... BUTCH JOJO!
Butch sauntered down to the ring before hopping onto the arpon and stepping over the bottom rope. He and Buttercup got into each other's faces, "I will take that title from you!" Buttercup exclaimed.
"You're cute when you're lying." Butch cackled.
Buttercup growled at his attempts at mind games, the ref Drake Wuertz held up the 24/7 title before handing it to the crew and calling for the bell.
Ding, ding, ding.
Buttercup immediately went for a punch, but Butch didn't feel it as he's grown used to her fist on his face. Buttercup raised an eyebrow before going for another one to his jaw, but he felt nothing. She wound up for a third, but ate a kick that sent her into the ropes. She then went for a head-scissors takedown but he flipped through it and onto his feet.
Butch then went for a superkick, but Buttercup ducked the kick and went for a hurricanrana but Butch rolled through it. Buttercup leaped towards Butch, but he avoided the tackle, however she caught herself on the ropes before leaping bouncing off the top rope and into a cutter- Butch handsprings a counter before dropkicking Buttercup in the back of her head. Butch then pulls her into a crucifix cover.

DING, DING, DING!
Buttercup lets the pin go in tired glee.
Mike: Here's your winner and NEW WWE 24/7 champion... BUTTERCUP UTONIUM!
Buttercup sits on her knees as she is handed her new title, she hugs the title before kissing it right on the plate. She then gets up and stands on the southwest corner, "OH YEAH! I'M THE MAN! EAT YOUR HEART OUT BECKY LYNCH! WOOOOOO!"
Butch lies defeated, but not at all disappointed. He chuckles, "That girl is really something." He pushes himself up as Buttercup got down, she then faced him again.
She smirks "Told yah I'd be the one to take this title from you."
"You sure did." Butch admitted, he then held out his stubby hand. The puff confused and on guard at the gesture, she slowly takes his stub in hers and shakes it. Admitting to herself she enjoyed their match, she was then caught by him with a peck to her lips. Feeling like she was gonna explode like he did when she first pecked him all those years ago.
"What the?" Buttercup let out with a blush.
"Take care." Butch quickly flew away with a dark green streak out the Thunderdome.
Buttercup shook off her flustered look before scowling at his retreating form, "Damn it Buttercup," she sighs "why do you always go for the bad boys?" hating herself for wanting to feel Butch's lips on hers again. But right now, she had to leave as the 24/7 division came out for another chase. She flew straight to the back, over all the low card stars as they turned around after the new champion.
(1 hour & 10 minutes Later)
It was near the end of the women's Royal Rumble match, the only remaining ladies left were Charlotte Flair, Nia Jax, Shayna Bazsler, Bayley, Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Ruby Riott, and NXT's Raquel Gonzales with only 1 more entrant left coming in 10 seconds. Right now everyone was getting Nia out, except for her tag partner.
They managed to get Nia on the apron before Shayna came in and pulled them all off, "Thanks." Nia said.
"Hey, if anyone's taking you out... its me." Shayna then high kicked Nia in the head, knocking her off the apron and to the floor. Nia Jax was eliminated, she looked up in shock at her partner's laughing form. But that was short lived as she walked into Liv Morgan's code-breaker variation, sending her flying over the top rope and to the floor.
Nia laughed at the misfortunate Queen of Spades, the two then exchanged blows in anger they're not going to WrestleMania.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRING
Natalya's theme then played as Nia and Shayna turned their attention to the final entrant, the two nodded before going to blow off some steam... by sending Natalya into the barricade repeatedly. Nia then held Natalya's arm against the barricade before Shayna kicked it like a soccer ball, Natalya's arm bending like a twig.
After the bullies left, refs came in to check on Natalya. Asking if her arm's okay, she tried to play it cool but her arm was in too much pain. Adam Pearce then came out and admonished the retreating tag champs Nia and Shayna, "Why do you like killing talent? Are you proud of yourselves?"
"Whatever." they scoffed before heading back to prepare for their tag title match. Adam then went over to Natalya as doctors came out.
"I can fight! I can- OW!"
Adam shook his head, second time someone was attacked before they can enter the women's rumble by Nia. He doesn't know where he can find a good replacement, just then he felt a gust of wind pass by him before several low card talent ran by and pass the ring as the rumble still progressed. "Phew, finally lost them." he heard a voice before the owner leaped from behind the barricade.
It was new 24/7 champ, Buttercup.
The puff saw how Natalya was looking, "Ooh, that's pretty bad."
"YOU THINK!" Natalya snapped at the green puff's comment.
"I don't think you can compete with that injury." Adam told the 3rd gen performer, who sighed as doctors helped her up.
Buttercup then hatched an idea, "Hey, if she's too hurt send me in!"
"What?" Adam questioned.
"Send me in, Pearce." Buttercup demanded, "If Becky Lynch can fill in for Lana after she was hurt, why can't I for Natalya?" Adam mulled it over.
"Oh go ahead."
"Yes!" Buttercup pumped her fist before heading to the ring, her theme played as the new graphic came on screen.
#30: Buttercup
As soon as Buttercup hit the ring, she ducked a clothesline attempt by Ruby before clotheslining her over the ropes and to the floor. Buttercup then dodged a big boot by Charlotte tossing her over the ropes as well. That's for Buttercup.
And Buttercup made it 3 after she ducked and pulled the ropes down to send Bayley out as well.
The final four were Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, Raquel Gonzales, and the late addition of Buttercup Utonium.
The three smallest all ganged up on Gonzales before she pushed them all away, she then nailed a series of clotheslines to all her competitors. Raquel then picked up Liv before hooking her up with a one armed Powerbomb to the outside and onto the girls Buttercup had tossed out.
Raquel then turned around to get a whip lash from Bianca's insanely long pony tail, the EST of WWE then lifted up Raquel in a Torture Rack and tried to toss her out with a KOD but Raquel landed on the apron before trying to suplex Bianca out of the ring. But then Buttercup came in and dropkicked Raquel in the gut sending her and Bianca down to the floor.
DING, DING, DING
(2016 Powerpuff Girls' theme)
"YAHOO!" Buttercup cheered as she stood in the ring.
Mike: Here's your winner of the 2021 Women's Royal Rumble... BUTTERCUP UTONIUM!
Buttercup was then given her title, which she held high while standing on the southeast turnbuckle while pointing to the WrestleMania as per tradition. Much as it is tradition in Yu-Gi-Oh GX to get on your hands and knees after you lose a trading card game. "I'M GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!"
Title Changes: Buttercup Utonium def. Butch JoJo for the 24/7 championship.
And Buttercup has etched her name in the history books, becoming the 4th women to win the Royal Rumble. Now she'll go to Wrestlemania and face the champion of her choosing.
Till next time.
