The next day, it was time for the Royal Rumble. Tensions were running high as Kane would be facing Kurt Angle for the World Heavyweight Championship. Randy, Chris and Shawn were once again sat backstage.

"So her dress is gorgeous - define gorgeous?" Randy inquired, desperate to know what Roxy would look like on their wedding day.

"I'm not saying - it'll be a nice surprise. She looks beautiful, there is no other way of putting it."

"I just want everything to go perfectly - for once."

"It will." Shawn said.

"And you call Roxy the pessimist?" Chris half laughed.

Roxy, meanwhile, was in her office, talking on the phone to her mother Charlotte.

"Seriously, it really is pretty." Roxy told her but was interrupted by a knock at the door. "Sorry, I'll call you later or something, I have a guest." Roxy said, walking over to the door. "Not a welcomed one." she muttered when she opened the it.

"Well, well, well, Roxanna. How long has it been? Two months since I last saw my daughter's face." Eric Bishoff smirked. He hadn't been the co-General Manager of Raw since his team lost to Roxy's at Survivor Series. He'd been managing Smackdown! since Theodore R Long and Vince couldn't agree on a new contract.

"Smackdown's office is to that side of the building - the exit." Roxy pointed to the left.

"Come, come now, can't I just call on my favourite offspring - not that there is another one like you." Eric shuffelled from side to side warily.

"Can I help you?" she questioned, closing the door behind him.

"Yes you can, see there is a little rumour going about that I thought you could enlighten me on."

Roxy knew where this was heading...

"Oh yeah?"

"Are you and Randy getting married."

"Not that it is any of your business but yes, we are."

"That is wonderful. Who's walking you down the aisle?"

"I don't know yet - certainly not you."

"Oh c'mon, I'm your father."

"Yeah, a lousy one at that!"

"Does Vince know?"

"Well, he should do by now I mean, I have been in the WWE for nearly four years..." Roxy sarcastically spoke.

"I didn't mean about us! I meant about the wedding?"

"Yes and he gave his blessings."

"You know what, I'm not going to be against you. I'm happy that you're happy. It's just I hope that it works out better than my wedding day."

"It was your choice, not mine or my Mother's so if you'd like to leave the Raw office and head on over back to Smackdown! to watch a Raw superstar dominate once again at the Royal Rumble..."

"On the contrary Roxanna; watch a Smackdown! superstar win this years Royal Rumble."

It was now time for the Royal Rumble. Randy's number was number 25, a respectable chance at getting the title shot. Randy was sat with Roxy as Chris, Shawn, Paul, RVD, Shelton and others were either all in the ring or showering because of elimination.

"You ok?" Roxy asked, ruffling Randy's hair.

"A little nervous."

"That's good, you know, go out there and kick ass!"

"Don't you worry, I will do!" he confidently said, kissing her before walking out to the ring.

"Good luck!" Roxy yelled after him.

Randy came out to a huge pop. The fans hadn't seen him since his facial accident and his return was much anticipated.

Just as he was about to get into the ring, on time best friend John Cena eliminated Shawn over the top rope.

"You ok man?" Randy asked, stopping in his tracks before he entered the ring, helping Shawn up.

"I'm ok, thanks." Shawn replied, walking to the back shaking his head.

Randy gulped as he saw Cena glaring directly at him. Their blue eyes connecting. Randy cautiously got into the ring before beating the living hell out of Cena. John got Randy up on his shoulders for an F-U but Chris quickly countered it for his friend with a standing drop kick. Randy firmly stood back on his feet before Cena lunged his elbow in his face. Randy felt his cheek - it was fine but he was still a little wary. He was leant up against the ropes.

'I could eliminate him now!' Cena mused to himself, running at Randy in an attempt at hitting a clothesline. Instead, Randy low bridged it, causing Cena to fly out of the ring into the barricades!

Muttering threats, Cena was certainly pissed off. He'd entered at number 3 and was determined to win. He sneered at Randy before looking over at the ring bell. Grabbing it away from near Lillian Garcia and Tony Chimmel, he raced back into the ring, hitting Randy square between the eyes with it.

Tossing it out of the ring, Cena managed to F-U Randy over the top ropes, causing him to be eliminated. He smirked as he walked to the back, a little more than pleased with his actions.

"Nice one Cena!" Eric congratulated his Smackdown! protégé as he entered the backstage area.

"That was cheating!" Roxy shouted, folding her arms in front of her chest.

"All's fair in love and war - you should know that as well as anybody." Cena sarcastically smirked, grabbing his towel from Bishoff and walking to get showered.

"Looks like 'Randy' won't be getting a title shot this year at Wrestlemania - too bad." Eric mocked, catching up with his new partner in crime.

Randy stumbled to the back, a little confused with what had just occurred.

"Where's the bastard!" he yelled, clutching his head.

Before Roxy could explain, she had an idea. Placing her hands on Randy's chest she spoke.

"Wait - let's not get even - lets beat them at their own game." she smiled sadistically.

But what did she have in mind?

The next night on Raw, Roxy made her way down to the ring with Randy stood by her side. The fans were a little more than confused. Many of them had heard the rumours that they were indeed engaged, but is that what Roxanna's speech was to be about?

"Last night, as you are all aware was the Royal Rumble," Roxy began "And although a Raw superstar won - well done Chris Jericho - I can't help but feel that Raw got cheated in a way as Raw once again got undermined by one of the hooligans over on Smackdown. Yes I'm talking about John Cena. Lets roll the footage."

Footage was shown of Cena clearly getting eliminated by Randy before hitting Randy with the ring bell before eliminating him.

"That, of course, would never be tolerated here on Raw. John Cena used an illegal weapon, causing Randy here to get eliminated. I'm not going to stand here and let this happen, no way. That's why, 'Mr Bishoff', I have a rather good business proposition for you. You see, in about two months time there is a little pay per view that goes by the name of Wrestlemania..."

The crowd cheered at the mention of the biggest pay per view of the year.

"Since John Cena is so eager to take a pop at Randy how about we give them and the fans what they all want?"

Before Roxy could even state the match, Eric Bishoff was standing at the top of the ramp...

"Roxanna, well, I have to say, I'm impressed. I didn't know that a woman was capable of that kind of thinking!" he smirked.

The women and many of the males in attendance booed.

"Shut your damn trap!" Randy yelled, grabbing the microphone off Roxy who attempted to calm him down "Just sign the damn match and get the hell out of Raw!"

"Ok Orton, you've got your match. At Wrestlemania 24 it's gonna be John Cena vs Randy Orton in an interpromotional match!"

But how would the lead up to this go? Will Randy and John or Eric and Roxy come to blows before then? Check back soon for more!
