That didn't happen...... Alberto Del Rio did not win the Royal Rumble match by eliminating Santino in the final 2. When i really seen this happen live, i almost fainted. Many more people deserve it more than Alberto, if he entered earlier i would say that he would have deserved it. The Santino bit was great until he got eliminated, i thought he was going to win it. I never did forget that he rolled out of the ring. But..... i do credit WWE, this was the most unpredictable Royal Rumble i have ever witnessed (in over a decade) as there were no huge returns or huge superstars that hadn't won the match before thats why i thought CM Punk would win. I'l begin from the start, i liked the whole Nexus vs Corre battle at the start, i was right about Daniel Byran being in the match for over 20 minutes, John Morrisons ParCour is incredible, that so easily could have been botched. it would not have mattered at this stage anyway considering how he got eliminated. Nexus dominating was good but it lasted too long, it was predictable that Cena would be the one to stop the Nexus but CM Punk should not have been eliminated. It was great seeing Booker T, even though i predicted i was shocked when i seen him, plus i was right about Great Khali (in my post last week), Hornswoggles part in the match was great, i wish he would be on camera more often. Kofi and Swagger were not too impressive in the match, i would have liked to see them plus McIntyre, DiBiase in the match longer. Sheamus and Drew teaming up made it look more legit. Kevin Nash wow! he got a huge pop and will be used again by WWE because of that, a possible WM fued with Big Show possibly? oh yeah... i was right about Big Show being eliminated by Zeke. When it came to 39 and Randy entered, thats when i knew HHH would not return as Kane was on my mind throughout the entire match, probably better that HHH didn't return as it was too predictable i think he will return TONIGHT on Raw instead (WWE did the same with The Miz winning the WWE title). Kane did not beat HBK's record of 39 overall eliminations as Kane now has 37 (now 2nd), i knew Kane would enter late but i wasn't happy as he only eliminated Zeke Jackson and got eliminated by Rey Mysterio. John Cena's elimination was well done, lets just say we will be watching that clip in a Wrestlemania 27 match promo. Final 4 - Santino, Orton, Del Rio, Barrett. I didn't even expect 3 of them to be in the final 4. Like i said earlier i almost fainted once Del Rio won. It was a great Rumble and smart move WWE making it 40 men, it made it much better.

Divas Championship Fatal 4 Way Match
Natayla vs Michelle McCool vs Layla vs Eve
Why did Eve win? she had no need to win the title. Melina should have been in the match instead of Eve. It was an ok match, still short which is surprising since they needed to kill time.
World Heavyweight Championship
Edge vs Dolph Ziggler
Great match, Ziggler and Edge both did well, it is clear that Dolph will get a rematch since Edge used the spear but im happy that Edge used the Killswitch to win. I always knew Edge was going to win but Dolph helped make it a good match and Dolph will be a World Champion some day. Let just say Kelly Kelly will be in my next WDS video because of her not wearing a thong as her ass was exposed. That could be made soon actually, i had no idea why she was the one who attacked Vickie but it makes since looking at how WWE used the other Divas throughout the night. Edge and Dolph really did kill time but made it exciting.
WWE Championship
The Miz vs Randy Orton
An OK match, it was the worst singles match of the night (when was the last time there was 2 single matches and they were the WWE and WHC title matches on a PPV?) Miz dominated the match for far too long though. Orton throwing Riley on Nexus was impressive and CM Punk costing Orton the title was smart. The Miz is awesome!
After Royal Rumble this is my expected Wrestlemania 27 Card (not all the matches)
- WWE Championship - The Miz vs John Cena
- World Championship - Edge vs Alberto Del Rio
- Undertaker vs Wade Barrett
- Randy Orton vs CM Punk
- Triple H vs Sheamus
- Rey Mysterio vs Cody Rhodes
Lets type something i never thought i would ever realistically type.
"The Royal Rumble match was won by Alberto Del Rio who eliminated Santino in the final two, to book his place in the title match at Wrestlemania 27"
