Start of the Show:
Just 24 hours after the Royal Rumble, we are here tonight with J.R in the King in San Jose! Tonight we will have a steel cage match when Kane goes one on one with Gene Snitsky! We will also have a tag team match featuring Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels vs. HHH and Ric Flair!
Still World Heavyweight Champion..
The music of the game hits and he comes to the ramp in a suit along with Ric Flair. HHH pauses at the top of the ramp to blow a kiss to the world title around his shoulder as he successfully defended it last night against Randy Orton. HHH pauses on the apron to give the world title a big hug as he smiles to the crowd. He walks up on the ropes a bit before finally getting a mic to Ric Flair's mouth. He says there once was a man that was so good in this business, that he NEVEr would second guess himself. He says then along came a guy named Shawn Michaels and the word "arguably" came around. But now, that word does not exist, only the greatest in the world exists and now there is only one! He says HHH is the measuring stick for what IS great. He then introduces HHH as the greatest wrestler alive today. HHH gets on the mic and says "Randy Orton, so much for destiny my friend." He says he is destiny and in this ring, he controls destiny. He says he could sit here and put himself over but he doesn't need to do that because all these people know it. He says he is out here to talk about something else. He says it was ALMOST as great as his night. He says years from now people were telling their kids that they were there the year they unleashed the beast. HHH introduces Batista to a nice pop from the crowd. He comes out in a suit all pumped up. He gets through the ropes and shakes the hands of HHH and Ric Flair before showboating for the crowd a little bit.
HHH says that he heard some talk about controversy over last night's Royal Rumble, but last night, he took number 29, John Cena, and threw him out 3 damn times! This is the man, says HHH. HHH says that Dave knows how he feels about him. He says he is going to stand here in front of the whole world and tell him to his face: "I'm proud of you man.. I really am." He says this is what they talked about in the beginning, going all the way to the top, because of loyalty. He goes through the whole "when I met you you were lost and now you are this and that.." He says that Batista is NOW a Royal rumble winner, just like himself and Ric Flair. HHH says Batista is so close, and he says it will be his priviledge and honor to walk to the ring at WrestleMania and DEFEND the title against Batista. He says that it is time. Batista takes the mic and says HHH, The Game, my man! I love hearing whatcha think about me, now let me tell you what I think about you. We then shoot via sattelite to JBL (last night) on the Titan Tron who says that he gives Batista credit for winning the Royal Rumble, but he is NOT in his league. He says if Batista wants to come to Smackdown with his Tarzan body because JBL will make him look like Jane because he is a wrestling God. HHH says there is only one God and that is him. He also calls JBL foghorn leghorn. He then goes on to say that nobody will ruin Evolution's night at WrestleMania because it will be HHH vs. Batista, and that is final!
HHH then calls the troups and Evolution heads to the locker room, Batista didn't even get a chance to talk.

After the match:

HHH wants to know..
HHH is with Bischoff asking him who the hell put that JBL thing on the Titan Tron. Bischoff says he does not know. HHH threatens him and says he is going to pay if HHH finds out that this is some trade work by Bischoff. Bischoff says he does not deal well with threats, HHH threatens him more. When HHH leaves, Bischoff says "we'll see about that."
We are joined by Edge:
Christy is shooting t-shirts into the crowd in a very short mini skirt when the music of Edge hits. He comes to the ring and he is pissed off over something for sure. He gets in the face of Christi and tells her to stop trying to embarass him like this! STOP MOCKING ME. He then says "you don't know what I'm talking about?" He then explains that she is shooting shirts into the crowd, he yells at her to open the gun up so we can see the shirt. She does and shows the camera a WrestleMania 21 shirt. Edge freaks out and talks about how damn close he was to winning the Rumble and how close he was to headlining WrestleMania. He then says if Christi likes to embarass him, he will embarass her! This brings out Shawn Michaels though. Michaels says embarassing? I'll tell you what's embarassing, having to come out here and look you in the eye and admit that you put one by the Heart Break Kid. His mic is dying so he gets a new one and chucks the old one. He says something about his mic being broken and THAT is embarassing. He then talks about losing the Rumble thanks to Kurt Angle, and then he busted his pretty head open! HBK freaks a bit and says that he has a little anger built up and last night was not a good night for him. He then goes on to say that they should go at it again, tonight! HBK vs. Edge! Edge says the crowd would really like that, but it is not going to happen. Edge says HBK needs to fulfill his promise and shake Edge's hand before Edge lays a beating on HBK worse than Angle did last night. HBK slowly goes for the hand of Edge, and he does shake it. Edge goes on to say "Now why don't you get the hell out..." SUPERKICK! Edge falls flat on his back as HBK boasts to the crowd after sending Edge down with the sweet chin music!
Start of the Match:
Maven kicks the gut of Hurricane early but Hurricane reverses and gets a shoulder block and does a "whassupwitdat?" He reverses another blow before nailing Maven with a flying kick to the head. Hurricane gets whipped and jumps up, Maven grabs his legs and gives him a spinning sidewalk slam. Maven whips him to the other corner and when Hurricane bounces off he gives him a shot to the small of his back.
Mid match notes:
Maven controls the Hurricane on the ropes with a choke before nailing him with a back suplex and placing him in a rear chin lock. Hurricane fights up and nails a nice lariot sending Maven down. The two exchange blows until Hurricane hits a big elbow followed by a back body drop.
End of the Match:
The Hurricane climbs the top rope to go for the blockbuster but he misses. Maven grabs him by the shoulders and he drops him right on his knees! Sick move. Maven makes the cover and gets the victory!
