Announcers:
Michael Cole and Jerry 'The King' Lawler
J.R. and Tazz
The Royal Rumble opened with a cool video montage of past Royal Rumble moments, leading into shots of entrants in this year's event. When it got to Randy Orton, the video package turned into a recap of Orton insulting Stephanie McMahon and punting Vince McMahon on Raw. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler, in somber tones, said that the McMahon family were keeping details of Vince's injury quiet. They also said Randy Orton would be reprimanded, but didn't know if it would be a fine, suspension or termination (Uh, wasn't Vince going to fire him BEFORE the kick to the head?). They then said "the show must go on".

Jim Ross and Tazz called this match. For some reason, the champion, Jeff Hardy, entered the ring first.

Hardy hit the Swanton Bomb.
The referee started to count, but Vickie Guerrero pulled the referee away from the corner. Matt Hardy ran out with a chair, and threw Vickie Guerrero into the ring. Matt gave Jeff the chair, then went to get another one. Jeff slid a chair under Edge's head for the Conchairto. Matt then wound up ... and blasted Jeff with a chairshot. Edge looked stunned.

Backstage
Todd Grisham interviewed Randy Orton backstage about the "rumors" that legal action would be taken against him tomorrow on Raw. Orton said he hasn't heard anything from the McMahons, but as far as he was concerned, he was still in the Royal Rumble. Chris Jericho entered, saying he didn't blame Orton for what he did. Jericho said he was a different Vince McMahon than he used to be. Jericho said "The real Mr. McMahon was already dead and buried" and the McMahon that showed up last week was just pandering to his daughter. Orton accused Jericho of siding with him so he would lower his defenses in the Rumble. Jericho said he wasn't worried about that, since he said the McMahon are vengeful people, and that Orton would probably be gone from the company tomorrow. Jericho wised Orton luck and left.
The video package for the Rumble was shown. Apparently, there was a technical problem, as they abruptly left the package and went to the ring.
