The Undertaker vs. CM Punk in a Hell in a Cell Match (New World Heavyweight Champion)
The Undertaker turned out to be the winner in seven streak World Championship win in the midst of a tough mixture of mayhem, steel and brutal aggression. Hell in a Cell has always been considered as the territory of the Deadman and he once again unraveled his supremacy over the Punk. The nails were put in the Punk’s end with the Deadman’s famous Tombstone. After a series of serious controversies of a rematch just when the Undertaker thought he dethroned CM Punk, the Deadman made a sure act of retribution as he made CM Punk suffer from his death defying rage.

Randy Orton vs. John Cena in a Hell in a Cell Match (New WWE Champion)
The Viper has reclaimed his triumph over John Cena in the very first match inside Satan’s Structure. Despite Cena pledging that he would display another side of himself which would not just defeat but eventually destroy his foe, he still ended up struggling for oxygen when the Viper got the chance to zero him in. After a good number of years, this could be considered as the most arduous fight ever made between Orton and Cena, with first once again claiming the WWE Championship.

D-Generation X vs. The Legacy (Hell in a Cell Match)
The Legacy was not able to defeat the determination pushed by the mighty team of DX. But it was not a shameful event at all for having had the chance to compete with one of the most leading tag teams in the history of WWE, especially when they have defeated DX in the previous months which led to Hell in a Cell. DX was enraged early on when the Legacy attacked them just when they were just about to enter the ring. With the help of some bolt cutters, Triple H broke into the cell and distressed the Legacy. It was really one hell of a lesson to learn for Rhodes & DiBiase.

Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & The Big Show vs. Batista & Rey Mysterio
Despite Batista’s prevailing victories during the single matches against his opponents in Hell in a Cell, his team up with Mysterio ended as a huge disappointment as Big Show gave the Master a distressing Knockout Punch. The two competing teams were given close calls in this tough fight but the Unified Tag Team Champions still dominated any of its opponents in the last few months. Now, everyone is wondering which tag team could ever defeat this partnership.

Intercontinental Champion John Morrison vs. Dolph Ziggler
The young upcomer Dolph Ziggler was able to put up a really good fight at Hell in a Cell but Intercontinental Champion John Morrison still emerged as the victor of the fight. Both have strong, skilled and persistent career backgrounds with a drive that is both unstoppable as well. All because of The Shaman of Sexy’s lift off of Starship Pain done in perfect timing, the match ended with the amateur fighter losing to it. Both are known not just for their impressive fighting skills but also because of their famous skirmished against each other. The two will still face each other in SmackDown in just a few days time.

United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz and Jack Swagger (Triple Threat Match)
Despite his being consistently outnumbered in his recent matches, Kofi Kingston would always overcome the challenges and remain on top of his every game. He once again triumphs over a Triple Threat Match fought between Swagger and The Miz. The two decided to unite together to overcome Kingston but when the two diverted their attention to attaching each other, Kingston found this as a chance to strike them both down making The Miz and Swagger angrier than before.

Divas Champion Mickie James vs. Alicia Fox
Mickie James soared to victory like a true butterfly over Alicia Fox. After a rigorous battle, the Divas Champion has once again secured her spot with her wider experience and prowess. Alicia has been getting the better of the Divas Champion for the last couple of weeks and even distracting her from the ringside making the Champion to lose to Beth Phoneix. The beauty and brains of Mickie James will return as Raw’s all time reigning queen unless she has truly quieted the storm in Fox.

Drew McIntyre vs. R-Truth
When Drew McIntyre and R-Truth finally faced each other in their initial match at the Hell in a Cell, McIntyre defeated R-Truth with a Double Underhook DDT. McIntyre was proclaimed by Mr. McMahon himself as the future World Heavyweight Champion. The high sense of athleticism and power of R-Truth did not work enough to defeat the Scottish Superstar in his first appearance for PPV. After this match, will Truth be able to admit that the youngster has really earned his respect already or will he still be wanting some retribution for himself?

John Cena vs. Randy Orton (”I Quit” Match)
This is the night when Randy Orton promised to beat John Cena and make him say “I quit” on WWE Breaking Point. As the WWE Universe saw in the past week, John Cena has been weakened because of getting an RKO using a steel chair. However, this proved that a steel chair RKO is not enough to stop Cena from winning as he was able to lock Orton and use the handcuffs. With too much pain, Orton decided that it is time for him to say “I quit” and giving the title to Cena. Now, this new title is a new addition to the list of John Cena’s accomplishments. The only question is, when will Orton come back for a vengeance?

World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk vs. Undertaker (Submission Match)
In this match, expect no count outs or anything. All the players have to do is just to submit to the winning player. And in this match, you can say that the Undertaker is that last person who will submit to the match. With this, the Undertaker already made Punk submit on this match but Theodore Long went on the ring to nullify the Dead Man’s win. With this, the match ended on a second round but it is very noticeable that the match’s official made an illegal call by hastening the bell and giving Punk the win. However, knowing the Dead Man, he will surely be back to grant them his revenge.

Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase vs. D-Generation X (Submissions Count Anywhere Match)
Without any disqualifications or count outs , this is the match that will guarantee a true brawl between the young members of Legacy and the much experienced D-Generation X. The match ended when Michaels was double-teamed by the legacy in a very painful position by having his spine bended. Feeling too much pain, he cannot do anything but to submit and thus giving the win to the younger generation of Legacy.

Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Mark Henry & MVP
This is once again one of the matches that everyone should never fail to watch as this is a match between two teams who have been showing off their skills and determination to win. In the past matches, the WWE Universe has seen how the Jericho-Big Show team has stopped the other teams from winning the match. And this match is the same as the determination of Henry and MVP to win has been brought down by the skills of this skillful and powerful team.

ECW Champion Christian vs. William Regal
This is not the first time they are facing each other as they have already fought in a match with Christian getting the win. Regal also tried his best to win on the match but once again, Christian has proven that he has the power to prevail in the world of WWE.

United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs. The Miz
When it comes to talking, you can definitely rely on the Miz. But in the WWE Universe, talking is not the way to win so the Kofi Kingston has proven that he is the undisputed champion of this fierce universe. Now, will The Miz finally bring toughness on his skills instead of his talking in his next matches?

Kane vs. The Great Khali (Singapore Cane Match)
Seeing these two gigantic fighters in one ring will be very exciting for the WWE expectators. However, the Singapore canes on the corners of the arena will add up to the excitement as it assures excruciating pain with every blow. In the middle of the match, Ranjin Singh interfered to prevent the winning Kane. Being distracted, Kane went to Singh to divert all his aggression but he was protected by his brother.

D-Generation X vs. The Legacy
DX left the match with the victory after Triple H extended his help to his friend Shawn Michaels to beat down Rhodes & DiBiase. D-Generation X made a grand entrance while riding on a vintage tank. During the run of the game, their opponents made tags often enough thinking that this is the best strategy to go for the win. However, it was still no good at all when Michaels gave Rhodes some really devastating Sweet Chin Music. It was known that Triple H went on looking for DX partner for a long time having been tired of all the dishonest tactics of his frequent rivals. But upon their comeback as a team, they were surprisingly beaten by Rhodes & DiBiase, giving a clear message before their soon-to-be held match at the SummerSlam. Nevertheless, even if Rhodes & DiBiase were defeated, they can still be considered as one of the best accomplished tandems that WWE history can boast of.

CM Punk vs. Jeff Hardy (New World Heavyweight Champion)
CM Punk was able to knock down Jeff Hardy from the height of a 20-foot ladder and stole the title after ultimately shocking the WWE Universe. However, he wasn’t able to celebrate for long for just when he hugged his golden belt, lights went out, and in the middle of the ring appeared the Undertaker. He was grabbed by the Deadman in the throat and did a chokeslam on him down to the mat. With all that the Ladders & Chairs Match can viciously offer with bone-breaking crashes and life-daunting falls from heightened ladders, the whole WWE Universe is left astounded. Hardy was definitely disappointed with himself but he greatly realized that it takes a lot to be on the top. You become a huge, hard target that everybody wants to put down. Nevertheless, Hardy is still looking forward for a rematch.

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. John Cena
The most dangerous viper was found at the very heart of Staples Center. WWE Champion Randy Orton made attempt to get his way in his rival Cena while applying all kinds of possible tricks and moves. In the end, it just took one bizarre chance for him to finally beat down his opponent with an RKO to let him sustain his WWE Title. When an overzealous member of the WWE world attacked the ring to distract the referee, the Viper took this as a chance to finally have a chance to do a crushing RKO to his opponent. WWE’s Viper would certainly do everything for him to keep his precious gold.

Unified Tag Team Champions Chris Jericho & Big Show vs. Cryme Tyme
Jericho & Big Show as the Unified Tag Team Champions reigned as winners over Cryme Tyme, proving that they remain as one of the most undefeated tag teams of WWE. In this match, the Unified Tag Team Champions displayed the reason why they shine bright in the WWE universe. Just when everybody thought that Cryme Tyme was going to take home the win, Big Show made a quick huge blow from outside the ring even after being beaten out by Shad. This gave way for Jericho to give them the final triumph of the game. Despite their not liking each other in the past, the two was successful in building a successful union which showed outstanding chemistry in the end. Despite the defeat, Cryme Tyme was able to make a huge mark in this event for having successfully bringing out of the ring The World’s Largest Athlete.

Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler
Despite the huge efforts, Dolph Ziggler still was not unable to dethrone Rey Mysterio, the reigning intercontinental Champion. However, this could still serve as great experience for having the chance to compete with the leading Superstars. Mysterio surprisingly found it a bit difficult to defeat the youngster for Ziggle was way much better this time around compared to their last match. Impressively, Ziggler was able to avoid the champion’s signature finishing move which rarely happens for anyone to do. So what will happen next in a possible match again between the teacher and the student?

ECW Champion Christian vs. William Regal
Within just 8 seconds, Christian grabbed triumph at the Summerslam hitting William Regal with a Killswitch. However, a few moments after the match, the victor was attacked by Ezekiel Jackson and Vladimir Kozlov. Having to hit Regal in a cheated manner with the Killswitch, Captain Charisma was given his appropriate punishment after the match. The two used the Captain as their pawn with both of them slamming down the Champion to the mat. Regal also made his way for revenge taking advantage of the Captain’s defenseless state as he locked him with a Regal Stretch. Christian was left almost looking like a dead man after the vicious carnage done by the three.

Kane vs. The Great Khali
Kane’s demonic tactics worked well in pinning down the Great Khali. At most part of the match, Khali was almost already sure of his win but not until Kane held captive his opponent’s brother to pose a daunting threat. With this distraction, Kane was able to give his opponent a combination of a low dropkick and a potent DDT which gave him the victory. Weeks before this match, the two have always been at odds but it was usually Kane who would back down. However, the big question remains if this will be the end to the war of the two?

MVP vs. Jack Swagger
MVP deprived Swagger of the chance to make him as his entrance ticket to the next level of his career. The boils and misunderstandings from these two have always been seen as cultural differences but both are known to be great athletes especially when they have proven this at the Staples Center. Throughout the entire duration of the match, the two were both indestructible but still the MVP managed to nail down Swagger.

In the last minute announcement heard round the world, fans of the WWE finally learned that Chris Jericho would be partnering with Big Show for the Unified Tag Team Championship match.

No matter, despite his high level of competition he was able to reign victorious.

Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler (Intercontinental Championship)
While Dolph Ziggler has been working diligently at making a name for himself on the WWE, and has also made a point of telling all that would listen that he was about to be the new Intercontinental Champ, veteran Rey Mysterio wasn’t having any of it. Indeed, despite Ziggler’s impressive performances as of late, he was simply no match for the current Intercontinental Champ Mysterio.

One more time, for you non-believers: Edge and Chris Jericho are your new Unified Tag Team champions!!!

Rey Mysterio vs. Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship
Unfortunately for Chris Jericho, he wasn’t able to continue his winning streak. In fact, in his bout against Rey Mysterio ended his reign as Intercontinental Champ. And the spectators agree, it was pretty much all because of his infatuation with Rey Mysterio’s trademark mask. While Jericho was attempting to unmask his opponent in front of a huge crown and PPV audience, Mysterio was able to move in for a lightning-fast pin. Mask and all.
  

WWE Champion Randy Orton vs. Triple H in Three Stages of Hell Match
It was Triple H versus Randy Orton in the Three Stages of Hell match. Going into the bout, Triple H was the clear favorite.

(Hey, when the judges say no bashing with chairs, that means no bashing with chairs, yo.)

Upon closer inspection of the footage of the fight, it was determined that Punk had been out of bounds when the win was declared. Result: Hardy was disqualified and Punk retained his title and bragging rights. Not to go quietly into the night, Jeff Hardy pummeled Punk mercilessly as he exited the ring. It took three refs to put a stop to the insanity. Unfortunately for Jeff Hardy, his beating of Punk got him no closer the title he covets.

John Cena vs. The Miz
After weeks of being verbally assaulted and listening to the fabricated tales that have been mercilessly spewed by The Miz, John Cena finally got his night in the ring. And dealt out a brutal beating that The Miz would be smart to remember the next time he considers trash talking. But is he smart enough to keep his mouth shut? My Magic 8 Ball thinks not.

In the 2009 Royal Rumble, a few days after Randy Orton gave a shock to the WWE Universe by giving a punt to the WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon himself, the Legend Killer faced 29 other men on the Grandest Stage of Them All to get a chance to perform on the main event on the 25th anniversary of WWE. With the eyes of the WWE Universe watching his every move, Orton concentrated on the battle at hand Orton prevailed on this match that included some of the biggest names in WWE like the Undertaker, Chris Jericho, the Big Show and Kane. At no. 8 though, The Legend Killer along with his allies, Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes, changed the “Every Man for Himself” inherent element of the Royal Rumble into a collaborative strategy on the first half of the 59 minute duration of the match to eliminate the likes of Big Show and Kane. With the collaborative work of the three many other WWE’s superstars have faltered and left Triple H in a 3-on-1 battle against the Legend Killer and his allies, Ted Dibiase and Cody Rhodes. The Game was able to eject the both Dibiase and Rhodes from the ring and left to face the Legend Killer. However, he too failed to defeat his former mentee and lost the opportunity to win a World Title. With this victory, Randy Orton after twenty five years after his father “Cowboy” Bob Orton tussled in the main event of the very first WrestleMania, will give life to a new family of Legacy at the silver anniversary celebration of World Wrestling Entertainment. Winning the Rumble could have ensured a sure spot on the main event, Orton’s spot still needs reassuring because of his vindictive assault on the WWE Chairman. And so the Royal Rumble Match winner awaited the imminent reprimand of his actions, will he be fined, suspended or terminated from WWE? The quarter-century spectacle, pomp and gallantry on the 5th of April in Houston, Texas, is an opportunity to a Rumble Winner to win any world title that they opt to target that night. However, with this controversy-laden scenario, the uncertainty lies elsewhere. With the retribution-ridden history of the McMahon clan, will the Royal Rumble Winner, Randy Orton, even be competing in the WWE by the time that WrestleMania XXV rolls into the Reliant Stadium? The WWE Universe will have to wait and see until that day comes for anything is possible in the Biggest Spectacle of Them All, the WWE.
