Notes: Well, it’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. Anyway, the ECW Championship match opened the 2010 Royal Rumble. Ezekiel Jackson was accompanied by William Regal to the ring. However, Regal’s stay at ringside was short lived as he was kicked out by the referee. He laid his hands on Christians to get him back into the ring, because the title doesn’t change hands on a count out. Jackson dominated the match by smacking Christian around for awhile. Christian made a few come back attempting to pull the kill switch. At one point, Christian jumped on top of Jackson and put the sleeper hold on him. Christian pulled the kill switch in the end and pinned Jackson to the full three count.

A United States Championship match was made at the last minute by Smackdown GM Teddy Long. The Miz hides behind the referee at the beginning of the match and then runs out with a few kicks to MVP. Then, MVP almost gets The Miz with the flying lariat  that was almost good for a pin. This match as pretty even between the two opponents. The Miz takes MVP down on the match with a rear chin lock and works on him for a few minutes. MVP fights out of the submission hold and launches The Miz in the air to land hard on the mat. The Miz’s face meets MVP’s knees. MVP goes for the playmaker, but The Miz opts out for the yakuza kick. MVP goes for the playmaker a few times, but The Miz ducks. The Miz surprises MVP with a small package and wins a three count. The Miz won the match over a disgruntled MVP. After the match, MVP kicked The Miz in the gut and went for the playmaker. This was a great match that lasted about eight minutes.

The Atlanta crowd chanted Randy Orton’s name on and off during the WWE Championship match. Cody Rhodes got involved with the match leading Randy Orton to take advantage with a RKO. Randy went for the pin, but the referee saw Cody’s interference and ended the match with a disqualification. After the match, Randy Orton went ape shit on Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. Sheamus attacked Randy Orton from behind with a big old kick and leaving him lying on his back in the middle of the ring.  Sheamus retains his title.

Wow! All I can say about the Women’s Championship match lasted about three seconds. Mickie James planted a DDT on McCool and went for a pin. At least the right person won. After the match, a few of the divas came out to congratulate Mickie and brought along a cake. The Divas held down McCool and Layla (in the piggie suit) and fed them the cake. Mickie was victorious.

Rey Mysterio put up a good fight against The Undertaker, but it wasn’t enough to get him a win. Mysterio drop kicked and went for the 619, but The Undertaker caught him and put him through the last ride. It wasn’t enough to keep Rey down. Rey grabbed the ropes and put The Undertaker through the moonsault. Then, Rey hit The Undertaker with a side kick. The Undertaker is bleeding from mouth. He hit Rey in the face with his forearm. Rey came back with a DDT and then a kick strike off the ropes. The Undertaker came back with a mean clothesline and then went for the last ride. Rey Mysterio slid out and aimed at The Undertaker’s knees for a dropkick. Rey hit the 619 and then went for the west coast pop, but was stopped by his opponent. The Undertaker caught him mid-air and took him through the last ride. The Undertaker went for the pin and retained his title. This was a great match. It was expected that The Undertaker would win.

Edge made a HUGE comeback and won the Royal Rumble! I was happy that he won, but I had previously predicted that Shawn Michaels would have taken the win. The battle royal itself was the highlight of the PPV. I like how CM Punk had his little moments in the beginning by taking the mic and preaching straight-edge. He was eventually eliminated by Triple H. The Royal continued with Shawn Michaels turning his back on his partner with the sweet chin music. Michaels was later eliminated by Batista. HBK seemed really conflicted that he went back in the ring to argue with the ref. He kicked the ref in the face and then left the ring. Poor HBK!

This was a great PPV! The battle royal had me on my feet. I am looking forward to seeing Edge return to smackdown Friday.
