Joey Styles: The first part was successful for the Game beating the 500 pound Big Show but it didn’t come easy, he will not be at 100 % entering the Rumble Match and it seems that GM McMahon is far from done with the Game.
Jim Ross: She isn’t Joey, the big question on the mind of the game is who is going to be number 2 entering the Royal Rumble that would be interesting, and it will be one hell of a match that’s for sure.
Joey Styles: Speaking of Championships, the next match on the card will be for the World Tag Team Championship, these teams have all made a challenge to the champions and our GM has given them all a change of winning the titles in a Ladder Match.
Jim Ross: The first team grabbing the World Tag Team Championship belts above the ring will be declared as the winners, let’s go backstage to hear what the champions have to say about this.

• Backstage we see Ron Head standing in the cellars of the Alamo Dome standing with Paul Bearer asking his thoughts about the 30 men Royal Rumble Match were the Undertaker has to defend his Championship against 29 other superstars, Paul said that it was a dark year and Taker has overcome all the challenges but now maybe the biggest challenge lays ahead of the dark lord, Paul reminded everyone that Taker wasn’t standing alone in this match as his brother Kane is also in and they will make sure that Taker walk out World Heavyweight champion, nobody can beat the brothers from Hell, Ron asked if had troubles with the fact that Taker had gotten number 15, Paul said it didn’t care what number he would get, it would be easier getting number 30 but Taker likes a challenge and when he enters the Rumble he only has to beat 15 other superstars and believe me Ron he will make them suffer and they will all Rest In Peace.
Joey Styles: A very confident Paul Bearer to say the least, the biggest challenge for his Undertaker is awaiting, how in the hell can Taker overcome 29 other superstars to retain the Championship, he is a marked man of course.
Jim Ross: He is a marked man but everyone knows his reputation as well, he can destroy every superstar on the roster and proved that all those years but the rules are simple and he is eliminated if he is knocked over the ropes to the floor, so simple is it to lose his title.
Joey Styles: What about our next match, this match came to be just before Santa’s Invasion, Team Canada beat them and HBK thought Y2J left him alone in that match and than superkicked a bloody Y2J down, will Jericho get his revenge.

Jim Ross: Shawn outsmarted Jericho here tonight, Jericho seemed to have won the match but he lost his concentration when he argued with the ref and that cost him dearly as HBK gets the win in this one.
Joey Styles: This war is far from over, HBK cheated to get the win here tonight and remember that both men are also in the Rumble, it will be a matter of time before they can hook it up once more.
* Maria is backstage standing with Gregory Helms and she asks him about his thoughts of being in the Royal Rumble match and having a change of maybe surprise the world, Helms said that the X division stars are being underrated but they have shown in the past that they can deliver, he said that next two of the best superstars will battle it out for the X division title but he said he wanted to make a impact, he wanted to eliminate a huge star to let the world know that they can compete, Danielson showed it at Santa’s Invasion that we can beat them and tonight he would like to do the same, Maria asked him who he would love to eliminate as Helms said it would be huge if you could eliminate Undertaker of ECW champion Abyss but he also realized that that would be very difficult but he would show his best.
Joey Styles: What to say about Helms, I think he is right that the X division stars are underrated but if he really can make an impact in the Rumble, I think he can’t do that.
Jim Ross: You never know of course but it’s a good thing that he has a goal for himself, he wants to bring the best out of himself and possibly bring himself into the picture of a shot at the X Division Championship.
Joey Styles: Speaking about that Championship, that match is next, both are friends and they helped each other in recent weeks, last time they met it was Danielson who pinned London to become new X Division champion, can he do that again.
Jim Ross: London has been a 4 time champion but haven’t gotten the same attention like Sabin did, but he has a change of winning the title for a fifth time and believe me, he wants it very badly.

* Maria was backstage standing with general manager Stephanie McMahon, she asked her about her thoughts about the biggest championship match in the history of this business, Stephanie said she looked forward to it, 30 men have a change to walk out the Alamo Dome World Heavyweight champion but the biggest question for me is how long will HHH be in the match, she said that she have decided to put a price on his head, the superstar that eliminate HHH here tonight will receive a Championship match against the World Heavyweight champion next week on Nitro, so the stakes have been a little bit higher now as she laughed and walked off because she wanted to see this match.
Joey Styles: What a huge announcement JR, HHH is a marked man here tonight, who eliminates him will receive a title shot for sure next week on Nitro, what a match this is going to be.
Jim Ross: It will be interesting for sure Joey, HHH will come out as number 1 but who will be number 2, we only know that Undertaker draw number 15, so let’s go down to ringside for the biggest title match in history.
