* The Miz, Michael Cole & JBL are the commentary team


1 - The New Age Outlaws defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in a non-title match. Vickie Guerrero came out to interrupt the match and announce that at the Royal Rumble it's every man for himself, brother vs. brother and friend vs. friend. Billy Gunn took advantage of the distraction and rolled Cody up for the win.


* Backstage segment with CM Punk and Renee Young. Punk has called out all three members of The Shield for tonight.


* Paul Heyman comes out to the ring and gets booed big time. He puts over Brock Lesnar and says Big Show would never hurt him because of Lesnar. Heyman says Lesnar will be on RAW. Big Show's music hits and out he comes to a big pop. Show hits the ring and Heyman runs away through the crowd. Show has a replay shown from where he tossed Lesnar on RAW. Show says this time he will knock Lesnar out.


2 - Rey Mysterio defeated Alberto Del Rio after he ducked a kick and rolled up Del Rio for the win. Eva Marie was the guest ring announcer. Mysterio cut a promo about his close friend Batista before the match but Del Rio snapped and attacked him. After the match, Del Rio put Rey in the cross armbreaker and refused to break the hold until the referee asked him to do so several times.


3 - Naomi defeated Tamina Snuka following a springboard flip off the ropes into a rollup. Cameron attacked AJ Lee at ringside during the match.


* The Wyatt Family makes their way out as fans chant for Daniel Bryan. Bray says he wanted to grow up like his father but he was never good enough so he was cast out of his fathers kingdom to walk among the sheep. Bray says he was destined for greater things. He crawled out of the hole and Sister Abigail saved him. She sang sweet songs to him and he became enthralled with her. As he laid there on RAW, Bray realized he needed to sacrifice himself to be reborn and become the creature he wants to be. Bray says he gave Bryan a chance to walk with the reapers but now he will burn.


* CM Punk is back with Renee Young. He says he's calling out The Shield and The New Age Outlaws, all five of them. She asks if that's career suicide and he says it's a gift for The Authority to do what they want.


*Miz got up and stood on the announce table and asked the crowd if they wanted to see someone "Awesome" win the Royal Rumble. JBL kept messing with Miz, first by trying to push him off and cause him to lose his balance and then by pulling on Miz's pants, like he was trying to pull them down. Miz seemed legit annoyed by JBL at the end of his promo.


4 - Big E. Langston defeated Fandango following his finisher and a rollup. The Bella Twins were the special guest ring announcers.


* Promos for Batista and The Ultimate Warrior air on the tron.


* Renee interviews The Shield backstage.


5 - The Usos defeated Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro when Jey scored a rollup on Swagger for the win. Aksana was the special guest ring announcer. Zeb Colter came out in a wheelchair to sell the attack from Big Show on RAW.


* CM Punk comes out to the biggest pop of the night. Punk says unlike The Authority, he isn't a coward. Punk runs down Triple H, saying he hides behind his wife. The Shield's music hits and they come through the crowd. The New Age Outlaws come from the ramp. They all surround the ring. Kane's pyro goes off and out he comes. He tells everyone to stand down. Kane says Punk's anger is misplaced and The Authority wants him to main event WrestleMania, that's why he's in the Royal Rumble. Kane gives his word that his new directive is to make sure Punk has the respect he deserves. Kane leaves but Punk calls him back and insults him. Kane says "get em boys" and Punk is beat down. Kane chokeslams Punk and stands over him before heading to the back to end the show.
