40 MAN ROYAL RUMBLE MATCH

We get a video package highlighting random numbers of the Rumble, such as number of competitors, their combined weight, and other useless factoids. I feel as though I should go ahead and get this out of the way before the match starts, but it’s obvious that this will be hectic and difficult to cover, so please bear with me, and I will do my best to keep up. Justin Roberts announces this as the biggest Rumble match in history, then gives a quick run down of the rules, for those fans out there that may not be in the know. The man who drew number one is the leader of the Nexus himself, CM Punk.

The second man in the Royal Rumble, and the man who, along with Punk, has the highest mountain to climb, is Ezekial Jackson, and Wade Barett? and Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater are ringside. All four men make their way onto the apron and all four men begin wailing on Punk. The rest of the New Nexus make their way down to the ring, and a brawl ensues as everyone begins brawling around the ringside area, but this match hasn’t even started as Cole gets another e-mail.

The GM is ordering the officials to restore order, and stop the men in the ring. Cole says the only man with the right to be in the ring right now is CM Punk and everyone else must return to the locker room immediately, and failure to comply will result in disqualification from the Rumble match. Everyone does indeed make their way to the back, arguing all the way.

The real #2 entrant will be Daniel Bryan, and ROH fans everywhere are wetting themselves over this first period. The bell rings and Punk locks in a headlock. Bryan fights out but Punk hits a clothesline. Bryan hits a single leg dropkick, backflips over Punk, and hits a nice running forearm. Bryan shoulders Punk and tries to take him over, but it’s blocked. Punk knocks Bryan out to the apron, but Bryan comes back in with a springboard dropkick. Bryan goes for a dropkick in the corner, but Punk avoids it.

#3 is Justin Gabriel

Gabriel goes right after CM Punk and he and Punk trade blows. Punk is able to backdrop Gabriel to the apron. Bryan attacks Punk from behind. Gabriel goes for the 450, but Punk rolls out of the way. Bryan hits a back suplex sending Gabriel to the outside.

Justin Gabriel is eliminated.

#4 is Zack Ryder

Ryder comes into the ring and takes it to both Punk and Bryan right off the bat.
