- Jack Swagger vs. Matt Hardy. On the ECW Championship . Rematch since less than a month, the new talent in the WWE, Jack Swagger , "the most American of most Americans," won his first title against Hardy own . Fighting that began with weak direct current good illustrious brother of the company (past kilos of course), but as I went was imposed brute force and playfulness of Swagger, who ended up taking the victory to leave the stadium in silence burial. At the end of the fight we see a Matt really disappointed. Swagger will see how it evolves over the coming months.
- Beth Phoenix vs. Melina. For the WWE Women's Championship . Good fight where this time, won the agility and flexibility of the applicant, Melina on the muscles of the Glamazon. Oddly, the spaghetti Santino Marella, Phoenix mate, did any of his, and stayed out of the fight.
- John Cena VS JBL. For the World Championship Heavyweight . If JBL had ruined his deputy on Wall Street, Shawn Michaels, Cena monopolized all the support of nearly 17,000 spectators taking the first big cheer of the night. Remember that JBL had promised Michaels that release of its commitment and pay all his debts if he became the new champion at Royal Rumble. Fighting very even in their early stages, slightly tilted in favor of JBL. After 15 minutes of fighting and a series of " finishers by both sides, an unintentional kick to the referee stopped JBL KO. came the moment of "Heartbreaker." He climbed into the ring to kick strike by surprise "sweet chin music", first to his head and then to a surprise dinner. With both knocked out, Michaels finished his work dragging the body of JBL on the Marine to the count of 3. However, the new referee, left the scenes in a hurry, just get to have 2 because John Cena was rebuilt and then apply a FU to retaining world title. Clearly, when Michaels was walking around the ring, always something interesting happens. I love you, Shawn!
- Jeff Hardy VS Edge. For the WWE Championship . Hardy statements blaming Edge of all the accidents that had happened since Survivor Series had not done more to heat a fight already very tense, which was to decide the future of the unpredictable current # 1 of the WWE. Never in a million years anyone could have imagined what was in store for this confrontation. For starters, Vickie Guerrero announced a no disqualification match, which made the most of it was developed outside the ring. A priori Edge started with advantage, more accustomed to these conflicts over the possible help of Chavo Guerrero palm, but Hardy ended the latter with a magnificent flight from a ladder on the tables of the commentators. At 20 minutes, happened very quickly. After a "Swanton bomb" knock-out blow to the Canadian Hardy and sought the account. Everything was resolved, however Vickie Guerrero appeared to have the referee stop. Jeff Hardy was a surprise, then, like his brother Matt appeared to contain the general manager. The champion picked up a chair and handed one to his brother to definitively crush Edge. However, Matt stamped a chair in the face of his brother by surprise, leaving the championship on a plate to Edge. Not a single voice, not a single cry echoed in Detroit, only the issue of Edge, who returned to lift the title in WWE.
- Battle Royal : Remember, a wrestler jumps into the ring every ninety seconds for a total of 30 wrestlers. Only the removal if it is outside the ring over the top rope. The favorites in this edition were Triple H (post 7), Randy Orton (post 8) and the always formidable Undertaker (post 16). The two initial participants were and Rey Misterio John Morrison , while last (since winning the last two years) out Big Show. At the start of combat, highlighting the early elimination of Great Khali (for the second consecutive year) and Vladimir Kozlov . Far more wrestlers on the mat came with the departure of Rob Van Dam (sorpresón) (post 25) with a total of 15 wrestlers . There is also emphasis on involving Rey Mysterio with 50 minutes and Mike Knox with 33 minutes on stage. Participation was disastrous for Marella, Kendrick or Ziggler . The last eight survivors were (in starting order): HHH, Orton, DiBiaseJr, Jericho, Rhodes, The Undertaker, Kane and Big Show . The undertaker took charge of eliminating Jericho ( 38 minutes), while the Legacy trio did the same with the red monster Kane. So, great direct duel between Big Show and Undertaker would end up with two out of the ring, while the latter to eliminate Big Show, already eliminated, unbalanced Undertaker to fall out with the help of Rhodes and DiBiase. These four men decided the winner, aside Legacy trio, led by Orton, and on the other, a lone Triple H, who quickly was attacked by three men at once. Still, "the game" got eliminated DiBiase ( 45 minutes), but while in charge of Rhodes, Orton took advantage of an attack from the back to throw out HHH ( 50 minutes). Orton ( 48 minutes) was the winner after 57 minutes fight. Another success for "murderer of legends."
Grand Royal Rumble which we enjoyed. Orton will be the candidate for a title at WrestleMania. But what that will capture our attention in the coming weeks is the reason for the betrayal of his brother Matt Jeff and consequences of the actions of Michaels with his boss JBL. See you in WrestleMania XXV.
