MNM (Joey Mercury & Johnny Nitro, with Melina) vs Matt & Jeff Hardy

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler handled commentary for this match. They replayed the injury from Armageddon after MNM entered, and a month later, it is still nasty to watch. Mercury is still sporting his protective mask. As the Hardys entered, they showed MNM's attack on Matt Hardy from Smackdown two weeks ago. They said Hardy suffered a dislocated jaw from that attack.

Mercury hit a kneelift and went after his jaw with punches. Nitro tagged in and worked over Hardy in MNM's corner. Hardy fought back with forearms, but Nitro tagged Mercury, who rammed Matt into a turnbuckle. Matt fought back with bodyshots, as Mercury covered up his face. Jeff got the tag and hit a slingshot kick to Mercury. However, Mercury got Jeff into his corner and tagged out to Nitro. Jeff tripped Nitro and hit a legdrop to the groin for a two count.

Matt punched Mercury in the mask, hurting his hand, and tagged Jeff. Jeff ran in and cleaned house, giving Nitro a gourdbuster for a two count, then Whisper In The Wind, but Mercury broke up the cover. Matt ran in and gave Mercury a back suplex. The Hardys gave Nitro a double suplex. The Hardys went to the top rope for a splash/legdrop combo. Nitro got his knees up, so he blocked Jeff's splash, even though Matt's legdrop hit.

Jeff elbowed out of it, but Nitro used a front facelock to keep Jeff away from his corner. Jeff backdropped Nitro and tagged Matt, but Mercury distracted the ref, and the ref didn't see the tag. As Matt argued with the ref, MNM used this opportunity to drag Jeff back to their corner.

Quote:
Melina does a huge annoying scream ....
King: Is that a scream of joy from Melina?
J.R: I have not made many women scream, so i can't tell you.

As MNM went to double team Jeff, he managed to throw Mercury into a charging Nitro, then gave Nitro a mule kick and made the hot tag to Matt. Matt cleaned house on both men, hitting a clothesline/bulldog combo on both men and getting a two count on Nitro. Matt hit an elbow to the back of Nitro's head from the second rope for a two count. Matt went for a backdrop, but Nitro kicked it away. Mercury lifted Mercury for a Snapshot, but Jeff broke it up.

Michaels hit a top rope elbowdrop on the Undertaker. Undertaker slowly got up, and Michaels prepared for the superkick. Undertaker caught the superkick and chokeslammed Michaels. Undertaker called for the tombstone. Undertaker lifted him, but Michaels floated over it and superkicked Undertaker, then collapsed on the mat.

They both slowly got up, and Michaels measured Undertaker for another superkick. Michaels went for the superkick, Undertaker ducked it, lifted Michaels and sent him over the top rope and to the floor.

Shawn Michaels is eliminated.

The Undertaker wins the Royal Rumble.

Aftermath:
Underrtaker gets up and starts to make his way to the side of the ring and Taker stares at Shawn Michaels still on the ground and they both stare, not in hatred but out of respect for each other, 2 legends, 1 winner to end the 2007 Royal Rumble. Taker gets back in the middle of the ring and does his winning pose and fireworks go off as Taker gets up and stares out to the crowd as the PPV ends!!!!!!!

How do you get to see the Royal Rumble?

[King Placebo]

^ You either order it or wait for a stream on the day.

[LionDen]

I will be interested to see who wins the Rumble, I would say undertaker right now but if Rey Mysterio can win it, anyone can lol

Also jeff and Matt Hardy still have their names on for the Rumble, so they will have 2 matches if they stay there, has been done before ofcourse but seems like a filler IMO.

[Bazzafergie]

Surely it'll be Undertaker or Orton. Can't see past those two

[LionDen]

I don't know why Orton should win although with HHH injured now, this could make a dramatic change in the storylines as it already has so far.

So, if it is not Undertaker, it could be Orton but I still say Taker due to him being screwed the last few weeks.

i believe taker and batista will be a regular match at wrestlemania..maybe shawn michaels or orton vs. cena..its too early to say..also..how does the stream of the rumble work here?

[LionDen]

We do not have a stream as they are very illegal and if WWE get a whiff, they will try to get the website closed down. Most websites do that to only attract members and are risking for alot of trouble, closure and incuding a hefty fine.

We here do a great Play by Play that is becoming infamous throughout the Internet Wrestling Community. You can get live uppdates of the play by play in the shoutbox while checking out the fastest growing forum on the net. Soon this page will change and we will also be offering prizes on PPV days, members have been loyal to us since the beginning so we think it be nice to give something back. More on this later.

Since UOWForums are not responsiible for what people post in this forum, some people post links to streams in the media section and they are mostly good.

Also, I agree, I see an Undertaker vs Batista match at WM. I wonder if Taker will lose for the first time this year, they were talking about it last year.

thanx man..i will keep an eye for a stream and let u guys know if i do
