We'll try this again.
Edge vs. Matt Hardy:
Edge gets traded to Raw due to Kane's departure to Smackdown (in pursuit of the Undertaker). Edge gets into it a bit with Christian (plants the seeds for a future feud), but Matt Hardy intervenes himself. Christian is busy feuding with Jericho. Meanwhile, Christian and Matt have developed a slight friendship/alliance....which is how Matt and Edge begin their feud.
At Wrestlemania, Edge ends up going over to gain the victory.
WWE tag team titles: Hass/Benjamin vs. Bashams vs. New Age Outlaws
Meh - What the hell. I'm "predicting" that Billy Gunn's all-time favorite moment (to be shown on Smackdown in the up-coming weeks, was his match from WM-14 with Foley/Terry Funk. The camera will then zoom-out slightly, and it will show Road Dogg right beside Gunn. The New Age Outlaws will be back in full force.....and will win the titles back at Wrestlemania.
Bill Goldberg vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin
http://www.tpww.net/headlines/1074789815.html.
. Austin still has "one last match in him" motherfuckers. Everyone has always wanted to see Austin and Goldberg go at it. Before Goldberg leaves the WWE for good, why not give the fans what they want?
Austin and Goldberg both go in as faces, but the crowd is clearly behind Austin. Austin delivers by hitting a few stunners and getting the win.
Women's Title: Lita vs. Jazz
Jazz retains the women's title by defeating Lita.
Rob Van Dam w/Shawn Michaels vs. Triple H w/Ric Flair
Between now and Mania, RVD steps it up. RVD goes on a torrid streak, which includes victories over Matt Hardy, etc. RVD also has a match with Shawn Michaels. HBK does a great job in putting over RVD, and allows RVD to go over. After the match, HBK becomes a 'mentor' of sorts to RVD.....and tells RVD that he has all the talent in the world to become World Champ.
RVD defeats Triple H to become the new World Champion.
Rikishi vs. Matt Morgan
Matt Morgan defeats Rikishi. He is officially one step closer to reaching immortality.
Chris Jericho w/Trish Stratus vs. Christian w/Molly
Christian defeats Jericho. Jericho and Trish are now an item. Christian and Molly are not an item, but Molly agrees to accompany Christian to the ring to keep an eye on Trish. Matt Hardy comes out and helps Christian defeat Jericho.
United States Title - fatal 4-way match: John Cena vs. Big Show vs. Matt Morgan vs. Hardcore Holly
Morgan gets eliminated first, followed by Hardcore Holly. Cena and Big Show go at it for 10 minutes or so. Cena finally gets the victory by hitting the F-U on the Big Show.
World tag team titles: Dudleys vs. Cade/Jindrak
Cade and Jindrak do the unthinkable and win in an upset fashion. New tag team champs. Jindrak and Cade.
Kane vs. Undertaker
Undertaker defeats Kane. Taker comes back at Royal Rumble and attacks Kane. Kane gets his knickers in a twist and heads to Smackdown. Raw gets compensated by having Edge defect there.
The Rock N' Sock Connection vs. Evolution (Orton and Batista)
Rock N' Sock get the win, as Foley uses "Mr. Socko" on Randy Orton
Kurt Angle vs. Eddie Guerrero:
Somewhere between now and Mania, Angle turns on Guerrero citing penis envy. Anyways - Angle defeats Guerrero at Mania.
Cruiserweight title: Rey Mysterio vs, Taijiri
Taijiri retains the title over Rey Mysterio.
WWE title: Brock Lesnar vs. Chris Benoit
Chris Benoit wins the Royal Rumble, despite being the very first entrant. He gets built up big time, and begins his inevitable feud with Lesnar. It culminates at Wrestlemania, and Benoit finally wins "the big one". Benoit wins with the Sharpshooter.
