Chapter 20: Royal Rumble Pt 2
The boos and moans rained out in the arena because no one came out of the entrance way, the doors were closed as were Cena's career it would seem. Orton and Batista smiled at the fact that he wasn't going to show up. Meanwhile everyone in the ring was getting up and the Rumble was back on, Randy was in the far end of the ring battling with HBK, Batista went to work on Rey.
All of sudden The Time is Now starting playing again, and the crowd as well as the competitors in the ring turned to look, then the doors blew open, both guards were knocked down. The person who knocked them down was John Cena! He burst through the doors and was running to the ring, Randy saw this and ducked to the outside, Cena got in and was met by Murdoch, who attacked him as he came in, he had him in the ropes and then charged at Cena but Cena ducked his shoulder and lifted him out of the ring eliminating Trevor Murdoch. The crowd was popping crazy, as Cena went to work on Batista, Randy was still on the floor ducking so Cena won't see him. Cena was trying to get rid of Batista but Batista over powered him and pushed out of the way, then Batista exploded out of the corner and clotheslined HBK out of the ring. We're down to 6, Kid Kash and Mysterio were in one corner, and Shelton was resting in one, as Batista went to work on Cena, Orton took a peek and then slowly got back in the ring.
"Randy got out there when he saw see, nothing more than coward ducking Cena. But now he sees Cena in trouble and now has gotten enough guts to step in there." Joey said.
"I still can't believe that Cena is here, I thought he was gone forever." King said.
Randy told Batista to back off as he took over on Cena, Batista went after Shelton. Randy got his cocky smile back and then picked up Cena, he looked at him and then went for an RKO, but Cena blocked it and threw him into the ropes, Randy bounced off the ropes and was caught for an FU. Cena looked down on him and then mounted him and started pounding on him.
"You think he saw what happened on Monday Night?" Joey asked.
"I think so." King answered.
Batista was trying to get rid of Shelton when he saw Kash and Mysterio on the other side, Mysterio had a head scissors on and was trying to get rid of Kash. Batista went over and tipped Kash over with Rey still hanging on, Rey went over and was eliminated but Kash hung on! We're down to 5 and Kash went after Cena, he whipped Cena off the ropes, but it was reversed Cena went for a side walk slam but Kash reversed it into a head scissors taking Cena over.
"Kash took down John Cena, maybe Kash might sneak in a victory here."
"Maybe but he's still got 4 guys to get rid of and it will be a boost if he can get rid of Cena." King said.
Kash picked up Cena, he set him up for the Dead Level, he got him up and hit it! Kash had him down, he picked him up again, he set up for another one but Cena blocked it and picked him up instead, he had him up and suplexed him outside and eliminating him leaving it down to the final 4. Cena, Benjamin, Batista and Orton, who has gotten up, they all went to the four corners and waited.
"We're down to the final 4 and neither man wants to make a mistake, especially when you're this close to Mania." Joey said.
Shelton went after Batista, Cena after Orton and the battle was on, Benjamin and Batista went at it in one corner, Cena was unloading on Orton in another corner of the ring.
Benjamin was sent to the ropes and Batista was ready for a spine buster, but Benjamin countered into a DDT and down went Batista. Randy was getting beat on by Cena until Randy hit a low blow to Cena knocking him down. They were all down, Randy got up first, and went after Benjamin, Randy started pounding on him, Randy hit a couple a shots to Benjamin, then he tried to get rid of him, but Benjamin held on, Orton tried stomping on him to let go, but he keep hanging on. Cena came from behind and pulled him back, and Benjamin came back in, Batista was up now and as soon as Benjamin turned around he was hit with a spine buster. Batista went over and attacked Cena, and it was 2 on 1 on John Cena with Benjamin down. Batista and Orton went to work on Cena hitting hard shots to him.
"They are trying to get rid of John Cena for the 3rd time in 3 months, but I don't think they can do it."
"If at first you don't succeed, then give up but these guys won't."
"If they can't end his career then they can at least keep away from the WWE Title and the main event at WrestleMania."
Batista grab Cena and hit a spine buster, Randy picked him up and gave him his backbreaker. They picked him up and attempted to throw him out but Cena held on, as they pounded on him to let go. Shelton got up and helped Cena back in by attacking Evolution, Cena came back in and went after Orton.
Orton was staggering from Cena's shots, but he gave him a poke in the eyes, Cena stumbled and turned around right into an RKO! Orton posed but he turned around and was met by a Shelton super kick knocking him down, Shelton turned around and was met by a Batista clothesline! Batista picked up Benjamin and tried to eliminate him but was having no luck. Meanwhile Orton got up, first, he picked up the still down John Cena, he knew this was his opportunity, he picked him up and tried to throw him out but Cena reversed it and threw Randy out instead eliminating him!
"Orton's gone!"
Orton was laid down on the floor trying to get collect his thoughts, Cena was on a roll and went over and nailed Batista from behind and then knocked him down, Benjamin came from behind and nailed Cena, they started trading blows, Shelton got the advantage, then whipped him into the ropes he set for the super kick, but Cena held on to the ropes and charged at Benjamin and hit a clothesline, then another, he hit a protoplex, then hit the 5-knuckle shuffle, he pumped them up and hit an FU! Batista was up, Cena ducked a clothesline and hit a shoulder block but Batista didn't go down, it staggered him backwards, he hit another shoulder block, staggered back some more. He was going backwards towards the side of the entrance and where Orton was getting up. Cena hit another shot and couldn't move him so he threw him into the other side of the ring and Batista held on to the ropes. Cena charged at him and hit a clothesline but he didn't go over, he hit another one and he was almost down one more was all he needed.
Cena saw this and went off the ropes, but Orton was up and pulled the top rope down, low bridging him and Cena went out!
"Cena's been eliminated by Orton, Orton has screwed Cena out of a chance at Mania."
Orton looked at him and taunted him, as Cena got up Randy ran to the back as Cena looked around shocked, he decided to argue with the refs a little bit, meanwhile we were down to 2, Benjamin and Batista. Batista was up first shaking off all the shots Cena just gave him. He went after Benjamin who was down, and then he picked up him and had him in a body slam position and went to dump him, he had him out, but Cena jumped up and grabbed Batista by the head and dragged him over the top as Benjamin hung and got back in.
"Batista is gone! Shelton Benjamin has won the Royal Rumble!"
"Thanks to John Cena."
Cena told Batista that he can't see him and then went into the ring. Shelton was exhausted and Cena stared him down, Cena looked at him and extended his hand. Shelton shook his hand as Cena left and Benjamin celebrated his victory.
