It was now a couple of months since Roxy had left and Randy was still in a state of despair and melancholy. Ever since the day 'she' left. The day when his life was put on pause. Everything reminded him of her. Everything. From every brown haired girl in the street to every song on the radio.
Driving the long and lonely road to Raw, he always turned the radio on and listened to whatever. Today, he was listening to a Classic Rock chanel. The song that was playing, it fitted into his whole life. The disaterous past few months... It was a Finnish band called HIM and the song was 'When Love and Death Embrace'. It brought back unpleasant memories of Roxanna and Olivia, ones he wanted to forget.
Randy's friends were becoming increasingly worried about him. Shawn and Y2J were talking in HBK's locker room.
"Roxanna leaving hit him hard." Shawn said.
"I know, but still, he doesn't pay any attention to anything anymore, not even his appearance."
"It's probably a good job Eric did give Randy his place in the Royal Rumble."
"Yeah, he's been on a pretty mean streak for about two months now, causing destruction where ever he goes."
"Things are getting out of hand."
"Totally, when and if Roxanna comes back, perhaps she can tame him!"
"I agree."
An hour into Raw and Eric Bishoff was cutting a promo about the Royal Rumble.
"Raw still has one spot to fill, but that spot has already been filled so I'm sorry William Regal, it just isn't gonna be possible for you to enter the Royal Rumble. I'm not going to tell you who has filled the number 30 spot in the Royal Rumble, it's going to be a surprise..."
Just then, Randy Orton's theme music hit the arena. He made his way to the ring before snatching a microphone.
"You know Bishoff, it doesn't even matter who the hell gets the number 30 spot coz I can beat them hands down. Hell, just look at the destruction I've caused to the locker room over the past few months. When Roxy left, I know exactly what everyone thought that I would become a failure that I'd be nothing without her and that I'll loose all of my matches. But I proved you all wrong and this Sunday, at the Royal Rumble, man, woman nor beast are gonna keep me away from getting the chance to headline Wrestlemania 21 and to regain MY WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!" Randy yelled confidently, before walking to the backstage area, but who would be the overall winner at the Royal Rumble?
