A/N: Before I start this chapter, I have to say that when I write the Rumble match, I will start at number 25 to shorten it up, I can only write so much, plus think about the Rumble from Sunday and the gates they used with the 2 guys opening it, think that during the Rumble match. Anyway sit back and enjoy as the Rumble event starts, and after seeing the Rumble, I have to say I'm disgusted that Edge's reign was shorten, he should've held it till Mania and then Cena should've won it then. And Mysterio, I love the fact that he won, but it pisses me off that he won't be getting the title shot and that Orton will get it. Not that I don't want to see Orton have the belt it's just it's Mania when you have the Rumble winner winning the title. By the way after seeing the Rumble I've decided to change the Rumble outcome, sit back and wait and see what I'm talking about.
Chapter 19: The Royal Rumble Pt 1
It was the night of the Rumble and the matches on everyone's mind are the Rumble itself and HHH VS Jeff Hardy.
Backstage Jeff was getting ready, and Trish was trying to explain to him what happened.
"Jeff, you have to understand that I helped HHH as a way of repaying him for helping me out. And after he kissed me, he forced me onto him, it meant nothing, I care about you, you're the only one that matters."
Jeff looked at her and saw her apologetic face, he gently grabbed her and they slowly walked towards the door, and Jeff put Trish out first and closed the door, leaving her outside the locker room by herself, he obviously doesn't want to focus on anything else or he just doesn't believe her.
Trish sighed in frustration, Ashley walked up to her and she saw what condition and what mind she was in.
"Didn't go so well huh?" Ashley asked.
"No, he doesn't seem to care right now he doesn't believe me and doesn't want me near him."
"Well then you have to prove you care, but what are you going to do tonight?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, who are you going to help tonight?"
Trish stood there and thought about it for a second, "you'll just have to wait and see." Then she left Ashley confused.
It was now time for the WWE Title match, Jeff Hardy made his way out first and was serious and focused on this opportunity, then the Champ made his way out, HHH took his time, did his entrance and got in the ring and they stared each other down.
They locked up and HHH used his power and backed him up to the corner, HHH didn't give him a clean break and nailed a right hand, then a couple more, he whipped Hardy into the opposite corner, he charged but Hardy moved and HHH hit the turnbuckles, Hardy had him in the corner and he started unloading right hands of his own onto HHH. Hardy dragged him out of the corner, he whipped him into the ropes and Hardy hit a back body drop. Hardy set up for the twist of fate but HHH ducked out and went to the floor, but Hardy went after him, he hit a few shots, he tried to whip him into the steel steps but H reversed it and Hardy hit the steps hard and his back was hurting. HHH threw him back and started stomping on his back. He hit an elbow to the back, he picked him up and put him into the corner, he hit some right hands, then whipped Jeff across the ring to the other corner with a lot of force and Hardy hit the corner hard, so hard that he bounced off the buckles and hit the mat in a heap. HHH walked over and looked down at him and slapped him in the back of the head almost taunting him to get up. HHH went for a cover and got 2. He picked up Hardy and gave him a vicious back breaker, he picked him up again, and hit another back breaker. HHH made a cover and got another 2. HHH didn't seem to be angry that he couldn't put him away, instead, he picked up Hardy and put on an overhead back breaker, just like Bruno used to do, continuing to punish his back.
"You've got to wonder how much more his back can take with this kind of punishment." Joey explained.
HHH threw Hardy down, he picked up Hardy, but Hardy came back and hit some right hands, he whipped H into the ropes, but it was reversed and Hardy was met with a AA-like spine buster.
"And that could do it right there, a spine buster delivered just like Arn Anderson, and with the condition his back is in it has to be over."
HHH was about to make the cover but noticed someone walking down the ramp and he realized it was Trish, and she was smiling, HHH was too and made the cover and got a 2. Trish clapped for his kick out and HHH was pissed off.
"What is Trish's agenda? Is she with HHH or is she with Jeff Hardy?" Joey asked.
"First she's smiling at HHH when he came out and now she's cheering for Jeff Hardy what is the deal?" King asked as well.
HHH looked at Trish and she had stopped clapping, so he assumed everything was alright, HHH knew he had to finish it so he set up for the pedigree but Jeff took him down and sling shot HHH into the turnbuckle, HHH was stunned, Jeff went off the ropes and hit a forearm, then a clothesline, he double legged HHH down and hit a leg drop to the balls. Jeff set for the twist of fate again, but H pushed him off and into the referee knocking out of the ring. HHH knocked down Jeff and they were both down now. Trish came in and was confused on what to do, who was she going to help? She looked into the crowd and they were cheering but she didn't know for whom. Both men were starting to get up, Jeff was up getting up first, Trish was in between both of them as they both arose she didn't know what to do, she though about it for a second, then looked at Jeff, she prepared for a shot, but she reared back and hit a low blow to HHH! He went down to his knees, Trish left the ring and watched from the floor, as Jeff hit the twist of fate. He went up top, he set and hit the swanton bomb, and made the cover but the ref was still down.
"He's got him beat, we should have a new champion right now."
Evolution came running down, Flair and Batista went into the ring and started beating on Jeff, Randy and Stacy followed, and Randy joined the battle, Shelton, HBK, and Show came out and they began fighting with Evolution, they all ended on the floor and on the ramp way, as Trish grabbed the title belt, Stacy came over and slapped her in the face, Stacy started running, and Trish followed her with the belt still in hand, Stacy was on the ramp and was far as Trish yelled at her from ringside.
"Trish give me the belt." She heard, she didn't know who it was but assumed it was Jeff and didn't look at who she gave the belt to, she gave it to the closest person next to her and that was HHH! HHH took the belt as Jeff got up and H blasted him with the belt knocking him down, HHH picked him up and hit a pedigree and made the cover as the ref got back into the ring, 1…2…3!
Trish wasn't paying attention, and heard the 3 count, and she turned around and smiled thinking Jeff had won but she turned around and saw HHH getting his hand raised, Trish grabbed her head in amazement and knew she had messed up, and couldn't believe what she had just seen. HHH got out of the ring, then he smiled at Trish and said, "the plan worked perfectly." Then left as Trish got into the ring, and tried to help Jeff, Jeff got up and pulled his arm away from Trish in anger. Trish tried to explain what happened again, she keep trying to grab his arm and pull him to her, but he keep pulling away. Jeff started to walk out of the ring, Trish tried one more time and pulled rather hard, and Jeff pushed her down to the mat, and looked at her with anger, Trish looked at him with shock, Jeff got out of the ring and walked to the back, Trish was in the ring shocked and sad and heart broken but she got up and ran to the back hoping to catch him.
"Jeff Hardy obviously frustrated right now, he had the title won and it was gone."
"I know he's frustrated but he shouldn't take it out on Trish."
"Are you kidding me? She cost him the match, she purposely gave that belt to HHH and cost Jeff Hardy the match."
Backstage Randy and the rest of Evolution were getting ready for the Rumble match, Stacy was massaging his shoulders.
"Randy you've got this, this is your night." She said getting him pumped up.
"I know and the best part is that John Cena won't be coming back, no one has seen him all day, he's not here, and even if he was here I wouldn't be upset, I won't back down to him, I'm not scared of him."
The Rumble was going fast and furious, everyone in the ring and the crowd was waiting for John Cena's number to see if he'll come out. We're at number 25 and in the ring were Shelton Benjamin, who entered at number 15, Rey Mysterio, at number 10, Batista at number 20, Edge at 18, and Angle at 23. They were all battling when the countdown began, and it hit 0, the gates opened as Randy Orton came out number 25 and he ran to the ring and went after Benjamin, he started pounding on him and then trying to get him out. Batista, Edge, and Angle were all trying to get little Rey out of the ring but he keep hanging on. The buzzer went off and out came HBK at 26, he went after Angle, Batista and Edge, helping Rey stay in. Randy came over but was met with Sweet Chin Music. Angle charged at HBK but he back drop Angle out of the ring eliminating him. Batista came from behind and went to work on him. Time went out again and out came the Big Show at 27, everyone went after Show when he came in, but Show took them all out one by one. He was hitting head butts, and choke slams, and was dominating the ring when the buzzer went off and out came, Trevor Murdoch at 28, he tried to take down the Big Show but Show was too much eventually everyone got up and they all ganged up on Big Show once again. They all helped out and they all got Big Show out of there! Everyone went back to their brawling, Orton and Benjamin, HBK and Batista, and Edge and Murdoch working on Rey. The buzzer went off again and Randy turned around again, thinking it would be John Cena, but it was Kid Kash at 29.
"Every time that buzzer goes off Randy Orton turns around and gets more paranoid because he doesn't know when or if John Cena is coming back." Joey explained.
"And he's worried as much as he wants to win he doesn't want any part of John Cena, remember he's the one who RKO'ed Torrie last week." King answered.
Kash came into the ring and went to work on Rey in the corner, with stomps as the crowd started buzzing as they knew Cena had 30 but would he show up?
"There's only one number left and we all know who that is, but will he come out?"
Everyone was brawling, soon Batista, had enough and went nuts, he started hitting spine busters on everyone except Orton, Rey looked very small compared to Batista, Batista nailed a huge spine buster onto Rey and now it was Orton and Batista standing in the ring as everyone else was down, they waited they knew what was coming up.
"They're just waiting to see if he comes out, and time will tell as the countdown begins."
"10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1!" the crowd chanted loudly.
There was a moment of silence, then it hit, The Time is Now played throughout the arena, as the crowd waited, the doors were open and they all waited, Batista and Orton waited.
"This is it, will he come out?"
They waited for a while the doors closed, soon they waited for about 45 seconds and nothing but then there was boos and moans that filled throughout the arena.
