Randy Orton: Randy Orton is the 2009 Royal Rumble winner and the leader of the Legacy Group. The Legacy Team is made up by Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase Jr. Without Cody Rhodes' and Ted DiBiase Jr.'s assist in the Royal Rumble for Randy Orton, I don't think that Randy would of won. I really like Randy Orton winning the Royal Rumble Match and what a nice, nice push for the Legacy team. Randy Orton is the Number 1 Contender for a World title show at WrestleMania. What will the Legacy team do next in 2009?
Cody Rhodes: One of the Legacy Member. Randy Orton & Ted DiBiase Jr. are apart of the Legacy Team too. Cody Rhodes' older brother Goldust was apart of the 2009 Royal Rumble Match also. Which Cody Rhodes eliminated his brother, Goldust in the match. Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase Jr. assisted Randy Orton with the Royal Rumble victory. What will the Legacy team do next in 2009?
Ted DiBiase Jr: One of the Legacy Member. Randy Orton & Cody Rhodes are apart of the Legacy Team too. This was Ted DiBiase Jr.'s first Royal Rumble match and he was successful in the match by taking out Undertaker's brother Kane. Also Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes assisted Randy Orton with the Royal Rumble victory. What will the Legacy team do next in 2009?
Kane: Kane has the most experience in the Royal Rumble Match. But although he did not win his 11th Royal Rumble appearance he eliminated Santino Marella in 0:01 seconds making Santino Marella the shortest time in the Royal Rumble Match surpassing Warlod's 0:02 seconds in the Royal Rumble. Kane also doubled teamed with his brother, Undertaker during the Match. I hope Kane wins the Royal Rumble next year.
Undertaker: Undertaker has won the Royal Rumble in 2007. Undertaker's winning streak at WrestleMania is 16-0 undefeated. Undertaker also doubled team with his brother, Kane. So I am pretty sure the Undertaker is going to WrestleMania this year.
The Great Khali: I think that The Great Khali isn't Royal Rumble suit. The Great Khali was not doing the best in the Royal Rumble this year. He needs to get shapen up and win more matches.
The Brian Kendrick: Kendrick only managed to be in the 2009 Royal Rumble for 0:15 seconds. But he eliminated Kofi Kingston during that time.
R-Truth: This was R-Truth's 2nd Royal Rumble Match. R-Truth did ok. But he did manage to eliminate "The World's Largest Athlete" Big Show.
Shelton Benjamin: Shelton Benjamin already has gold coming into the match and he is the current WWE United States Championship. Undertaker and Shelton Benjamin had some feuds on WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Which Undertaker won both and at the Royal Rumble he eliminated Shelton Benjamin.
CM Punk: CM Punk already has gold coming into the match and he is the current WWE Intercontinental Championship. CM Punk eliminated former WWE Intercontinental Champion William Regal in this match and that's who he got the gold from.
Montel Vontavious Porter: MVP did not last that long in the Royal Rumble Match. Which I strongly didn't think that MVP was going to win the Royal Rumble. Will Montel Vontavious Porter get on another winning streak?
Santino Marella: Santino Marella was eliminated in 0:01 by Kane surpassing the Warlord's shortest time in the Royal Rumble Match 0:02 seconds in the Royal Rumble Match. I never even thought that the record would be beat.
Goldust: It was a total surprise for me to see Goldust in this year's Royal Rumble Match. Goldust got eliminated by his younger brother, Cody Rhodes. I really liked that the brothers fought each other.
Rob Van Dam: It was a total surprise for me to see Rob Van Dam in this year's Royal Rumble Match. Although the 2008 Superstar of the Year: Chris Jericho eliminates Rob Van Dam.
Finlay: He eliminated no Superstars in the year's Royal Rumble Match. But he managed to stay in the Royal Rumble for a long time.
Mark Henry: The World's Strongest Athlete Mark Henry didn't last a long time in the Royal Rumble when he got eliminated by Rey Mysterio at 3:14.
Triple H: Triple H won the Royal Rumble in 2002. So the Royal Rumble is no stranger to Triple H. Triple H eliminated Vladimir Kozlov, John Morrison, The Miz, The Brian Kendrick, Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes before getting eliminated by Randy Orton. Triple H managed to stay in the match for 49:55.
John Morrison: John Morrison and The Miz teamed. But John Morrison stayed in the match for 19:32 and The Miz 1:18.
The Miz: The Miz & John Morrison teamed up. But The Miz stayed in the match for 1:18 and for his partner John Morrison 19:32.
Carlito: Carlito didn't stay in the match that long.
Rey Mysterio: Rey Mysterio was getting eliminated but he was managed a way to stay in the match. Rey Mysterio lasted 49:24.
Mike Knox: Mike Knox stayed in the match for 32:42.
JTG: JTG & Shad teamed up.
Shad: Shad & JTG teamed up.
Chris Jericho: Chris Jericho eliminated Rob Van Dam. Chris Jericho stayed in the Rumble for 37:17. I didn't think that Chris Jericho did a whole heck of a lot in this match. Was not that good for Chris Jericho. I hope that Chris Jericho can manage to win the Royal Rumble in the near feature.
William Regal: William Regal gets eliminated by the man he lost his WWE Intercontinental Championship to CM Punk.
Dolph Ziggler: This was Dolph Ziggler's first Royal Rumble Match. Dolph Ziggler lasted 0:21.
Jim Duggan: The winner of the first Royal Rumble. I was very surprised to see Jim Duggan in the 2009 Royal Rumble.
Kofi Kingston: This was Kofi Kingston's first Royal Rumble Match. Kofi Kingston managed to eliminate The Brian Kendrick.
Big Show: Big Show eliminates Jim Duggan, R-Truth, CM Punk, Rey Mysterio, Mike Knox, & Undertaker. I really like the Big Show. But, I don't see him winning the Royal Rumble.
Match: ECW Champion: Jack Swagger def. Matt Hardy (ECW Championship Match)
Jack Swagger: This was Jack Swagger's first Pay-Per-View Match and his first title defense for the ECW Championship. Jack Swagger was explosive in the match. Jack Swagger is undefeated at the Royal Rumble and on ECW. I really like Jack Swagger being ECW Championship better than Matt Hardy. I think Jack Swagger represents ECW as a true ECW Champion. I hope Jack Swagger can retain for a couple of more months.
Matt Hardy: Matt Hardy did not get the ECW Championship title back at the Royal Rumble. But, Matt held the title for 127 days. I really like Matt Hardy. But I was getting sick of Matt Hardy being ECW Championship. I am glad that Jack Swagger is the New ECW Championship.
Match: Melina def. Women's Champion: Beth Phoenix (Women's Championship Match)
Melina: I am glad that Melina is the new Women's Champion. Melina did a great job. I guess the WWE put Melina as Women's Champion because of Mendez. I didn't like how this match went.
Beth Phoenix: I wanted Beth Phoenix to retain but she didn't. Beth Phoenix did a great job as Women's Champion. She represented the belt with true compassion. I am pretty sure that Beth Phoenix could of one this match. Beth Phoenix needs a rematch.
Match: World Heavyweight Champion: John Cena def. JBL (World Heavyweight Championship)
John Cena: John Cena retains the World Heavyweight Championship by pinfall. I really like the build up for this match featuring John Cena & JBL. WWE really did a good job of building this match up on Raw.
JBL: Although he did not win the World Heavyweight Championship here tonight at the Royal Rumble. I like JBL. He isn't really that bad, but he always sticks money-in-his-mouth. It was a heck of great job him competing for the World Heavyweight Championship. But you know what could have made this match better was if Shawn Michaels was the Special Guest Referee or the match was a No Disqualification. The referee was knocked out and they had to bring a second referee out. Which took to long to get a second referee out.
Shawn Michaels: Shawn Michaels Sweet Chin Music his boss, JBL was not good. He tried to make up by Sweet Chin Music John Cena and putting JBL's arm over John Cena. I think Sweet Chin Music by Shawn Michaels was great idea. But I do believe that Shawn Michaels did a great job of making JBL/Shawn Michaels' storyline.
Match: Edge def. WWE Champion: Jeff Hardy (No Disqualification Match for the WWE Championship)
Vickie Guerrero: Before this match SmackDown General Manager: Vickie Guerrero came out to announce that this match for the WWE Championship will now be a No Disqualification Match. At that time I thought Christian Cage was going to get involved in the match and help out Edge and assist him to win the title.
Chavo Guerrero: Why did Chavo Guerrero come to ringside with Edge? Chavo Guerrero should of stayed backstage. Well, anyway Chavo Guerrero helped Edge out.
Jeff Hardy: I really like the Jeff Hardy storyline about Jeff Hardy being injured by a car accident and pyro exploding. I thought it was going to be the return of Christian Cage. But, it turns out to be his brother Matt Hardy. I didn't expect to be Matt Hardy at all. I knew that Jeff Hardy wasn't going retain the WWE Championship. Jeff Hardy fought all along it was Edge who was doing the stuff to him.
Matt Hardy: Well, I guess that the WWE didn't want Christian Cage's return to be tonight so they needed a replacement and they chose Matt Hardy, Jeff Hardy's brother. It was Matt Hardy causing the Car Accident and the Pyro exploding. During the match Matt Hardy hit Jeff Hardy with a Steel Chair and at that point I knew it was Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy made Jeff Hardy loose the WWE Championship.
Edge: I didn't want Edge to be WWE Championship anymore. We need a new contender/challenger for the WWE Championship. I didn't really think Edge was causing the things to Jeff Hardy. But Edge is the new WWE Champion. I thought Edge was going to get nailed with the chair. But instead Jeff did.
