Fallout from the “Rumble.”
Jan. 31, 2005
Evolution's Batista won the 2005 Royal Rumble, giving him the right to fight in the main event of WrestleMania 21. Now, Batista must decide. Will he choose to face World Heavyweight Champion and fellow Evolution member Triple H? Or will Batista go the other way and challenge SmackDown's JBL for the WWE Championship? Watch RAW for more on this developing story.
Before winning the Rumble, Batista was the target of Ric Flair. "The Dirtiest Player in the Game" tried to sneak behind Batista and eliminate him from the match. Flair was obviously unsuccessful. But will Batista let "The Nature Boy" off easy? Watch RAW to find out.
Also at the Royal Rumble, Edge gained some extra leverage from the ropes to defeat the legendary Shawn Michaels. Will this be the end of this long rivalry? Or will HBK demand retribution for what appeared to be a tainted victory for Edge?
What we do know is that two big matches have been signed for tonight: Kane and Gene Snitsky will take their hatred to another level inside a Steel Cage. Also, the team of Randy Orton and HBK will face Evolution's Triple H and Ric Flair.
But with the damage done to last night's competitors, what condition will they be in for matches on RAW?
All this and more on Monday Night RAW (Spike TV, 9/8 CT)
