Michael Cole: Ladies and Gentlemen we are live from San Antonio Texas and this is the highly anticipated Royal Rumble… I'm Michael Cole here with my broadcast partner Wade Barrett along with Raw's Cory Graves and Byron Saxton, and guys this has to be in my opinion the most exciting PPV of the whole year.
Graves: I have to agree with you Cole, specifically for the Royal Rumble match itself where the winner gets a title shot on the grandest stage of them all, Wrestlemania
Saxton: But Cole, Cory we all know the road to Wrestlemania has many twists and turns and it all starts with the Royal Rumble.

Sonya makes her way down to the ring, before slipping into the ring, never letting her eyes leave Bianca. Bianca looks out to the fans and holds up her title before sensing Sonya sneaking up on her and she turns, stopping Sonya dead in her tracks.
Cole: Looked like Sonya was trying for the sneaky win but Bianca having her challenger well scouted
Graves: I don't know if its scouting or just from experience but either way she should know all her opponents tricks the way these two have gone at each other
Bianca walks over to the ref and hands him the title and the ref holds it up signifying that the title match was official before he hands takes it over to the sides for it to be kept then waves his hands for the bell to start the match
Saxton: And this match is underway both women circling the ring.
Sonya and Bianca lock up in a collar elbow tie up before Sonya overpowering Becky and shoving her back then laughing at Bianca, which aggravates her but she keeps her cool and sizes up Sonya before locking up with her again but the same happens and Sonya laughs again causing Bianca to lose it and charge Her only to have her side step, causing Bianca to hit the turnbuckle and get rolled up only for a one count
Cole: Sonya looking for the quick victory, capitalizing on an overzealous move by the champion Bianca.
Bianca bounced off the opposite ropes and used the momentum to drop kick Deville out of the ring Sonya beginning to compose herself
Saxton: Looks like Sonya wants a timeout
The ref walks over to the side Sonya is on and yells for her to get back into the ring.
Sonya: I have until 10 give me a… Hey hey stop her! *points in the ring*
The ref turns and sees Bianca about to hop over the ropes onto Sonya but he stops her in her tracks telling her not to get out of the ring.
Sonya: That's right back her up *climbs onto the apron* One more thing you count way to slow ref, I should have won this match already, you need to co… *interrupted*

Announcer: The following is the Women's Royal Rumble Match! *fans cheer* in this bout the first two entrants will start with another participant entering every 90 seconds and this will continue until all 30 women have entered the match, the only way to be eliminated is by being thrown over the top rope with both feet touching the floor, this will continue until only one woman remains, where that one will receive a title match at Wrestlemania… *Carmella hits* Introducing the first participant from Malibu, California… Carmella!

Annoncer: Introducing the second participant, one half of the WWE Women's tag team champions Queen Zelina Vega
Zelina dressed as Madara from Naruto cautiously makes her way to the ring the bell rings to start the match
Graves: What a way to start off this rumble by having these two that are at each other's throats start off.
Zelina and Carmella circle the ring until goes to grab Carmella but Carmella in turn delivers a low kick to Zelina's leg then a few more, staggering Zelina until she catches one of the kicks, leaving Carmella hopping on one leg until she delivers an elbow to the knee of Carmella , causing Carmella to yell as she grabbed at her knee but Zelina would not let it go as she fell onto her back locking in a knee lock, making Carmella yell more.
Graves: Coles you've been in rumble matches before is this a smart move on the part of Zelina , grounding your opponent when you're supposed to throw them over the top rope?
Cole: Well the thing is you have to wear down your opponent so its easier to just toss them over without much effort, grounding them so you have to pick them up isn't very smart but in this case it is because Zelina is definitely strong enough to pick up Carmella and toss her over
The fans see the countdown clock and start counting back from 10 until it his zero and the buzzer goes off and Kelly Kelly's entrance hits
Saxton: Kelly Kelly woo hoo!
Cole: Yes entrant #3 is Kelly Kelly, Saxton calm down
Kelly Kelly makes her way to the ring, playing to the crowd then gets in before hopping up on the second rope and waving to the fans, unaware that Zelina had let go of the leg lock she had on Sasha and walked up behind her then pushes her over the top rope to the floor
Graves: Oh there goes Kelly
Saxton: Noo!
Cole: One of the things I've learned over the years of watching these matches is that in the rumble being on the ropes is the last place you want to be, and that it is every person for him or herself
Kelly looks up at Zelina in disbelief as Zelina waves bye bye before turning around and walking over to Carmella who was still on her back then grabs her leg to put the leg lock back in but when she does Carmella kicks her, trying to get free, she kicks her a few more times before she can kick Zelina onto her back and get back to her feet, with the help of the ropes, but Zelina also made it to her feet quickly and was closing the distance on Carmella but stops when she hears the crowd counting down again from 10 to zero then the buzzer before Maryse's theme hits
Cole: And number 4 we have Maryse,
Maryse makes her way to the ring as Zelina watched until Carmella attacked her from behind, knocking her to the ground where Carmella got on top of her and starts trying to land shots while Maryse hurried to the ring to join in on the attack, stomping away at Zelina before the two got up and looked at each other before Carmella signals to throw Maryse over.
Saxton: Cole I thought you said everyone for themselves
Graves : Let me explain that, yes you can have friends and allies helping out during the match but when it comes down to it, it is everyone for themselves because in the end even if you and your partner eliminate everyone, only one can win, so you and your partner will have to turn on each other.
