Hey folks, ThinkSoJoE here, fresh off of watching the Rumble at my buddy Steve’s house.  We played a little bit of a game – we all tossed in two bucks and picked five numbers.  Whoever had the number of the guy that won won all the money.  That wasn’t me.  Anyhow, we’ve got a lot of Rumbleage to cover, so let’s get to it!

ECW Championship:  Christian def. Ezekiel Jackson to retain

Jackson is a big guy, and that made it difficult for the champion to lock in the Killswitch.  Eventually, he reversed Jackson’s attempt to ram him into the turnbuckle into an out of nowhere Killswitch for the victory.

Backstage, Teddy Long congratulates Tiffany on a great ECW match, when Cryme Tyme come in to complain that only one of them is allowed in the Rumble.  They tell Long that The Great Khali agreed to let one of them take his spot.  Ranjin Singh interrupts and tells us that Khali says no, in some hip-hop way or another.  He then says that Khali learned all of his slang from Family Matters, to which Khali says “Did I Do That?”  Khali and Cryme Tyme belt out that Pants on the Ground song when The Miz enters to talk about how he’ll win the Royal Rumble.  Long tells him that he’s got to defend the United States Championship against MVP and that the match is next.

Cody Rhodes finds Randy Orton backstage and tells him that Ted DiBiase has been talking about how he’s going to win the Rumble and beat Orton for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.  He then tells Orton that he can count on him during his match with Sheamus later.

WWE United States Championship:  The Miz def. MVP to retain

“Ballin'” is officially played out – there was nothing but hate directed at MVP during this one from the people I was watching it with.  After several near falls by MVP, The Miz gets a rollup and a victory.

After the match, The Miz gloats about his victory and MVP nails him with a Playmaker.

Big Show is walking down the hall when he meets up with Chris Jericho.  Show says that Jericho is jealous about his partnership with The Miz.  Jericho says he knows that if it comes down to the three of them, Show will show where his loyalty lies.  Show says if that happens, he’ll eliminate both of them.  R-Truth says that if Show doesn’t eliminate Jericho, he will.  Jericho says Big Show has his back.  Show is nowhere to be found.

Backstage, Ted DiBiase tells Randy Orton that Cody Rhodes has been talking about how he’s going to win the Royal Rumble and go on to beat Sheamus for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.  Orton says he doesn’t want Legacy’s help tonight.

WWE Championship: Sheamus def. Randy Orton via disqualification to retain

In a great battle, Randy Orton had things in hand.  He knocked Sheamus to the outside, where Cody Rhodes attacked him.  The referee argued with Rhodes, and Orton hit an RKO.  He went for the cover, but instead of counting, the referee called for the bell – Orton had been disqualified.

After the match, Orton went off on Rhodes, assaulting him.  Ted DiBiase came to the ring to break up the fray, but got decked himself.  Sheamus ended the chaos with a Pump Kick on Orton.

Michelle McCool made her way to the ring, and said that Piggy James wasn’t here tonight.  Layla came to the ring in her fat suit from this past Friday night, but before she could even get into the ring, the real Mickie James came to the ring and took her out.

World Heavyweight Championship:  The Undertaker def. Rey Mysterio to retain

The Undertaker may have broken his nose in this match, as blood was pouring out of it throughout the match.  Mysterio held his own with the Phenom, but after hitting two 619s, Mysterio was caught out of a West Coast Pop and dropped with the Last Ride, allowing The Undertaker to pick up the victory.

Shawn Michaels watched this match on a monitor in the back.  Kane comes in and tells him that his obsession with The Undertaker isn’t healthy, and that he won’t be facing ‘Taker at WrestleMania.  Triple H comes in as Kane leaves and wishes Shawn luck tonight.  Shawn says he knows he shouldn’t step on the dream of Triple H to main event WrestleMania, so he’s wishing him luck as well.  Triple H says that HBK/Taker was meant to happen, and he’s sure Shawn will find some other way to get it.
