30 Man Royal Rumble Match WINNER: STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN WWF Championship Kurt Angle (with Trish) vs. Triple H (with Stephanie)
The history between Triple H and Kurt Angle is well-documented. For over a year, these two have been at each other's throats -- and most of their problems stemmed from the friendship between Kurt Angle and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. The two men in an emotional match-up at Unforgiven in September, with the Game emerging victorious. But this time the World Wrestling Federation Championship is on the line, and Angle will do whatever it takes to keep his title. Angle's recent partnership with Trish Stratus is an extra variable in this monstrous rematch. Considering all the ingredients of this super-powered match-up, one can't help but think that this could be the most important match in World Wrestling Federation history.

WINNER: CHRIS JERICHO Women's Championship Chyna vs. Ivory
Ivory thought she had it all figured out. After she and Val Venis put Chyna out of action for a month, she figured she had carte blanche to mock the Ninth Wonder of the World, whose career she claimed to have ended. She figured wrong. Like so many others through the years, Ivory underestimated Chyna. Chyna has returned, showing her incredible heart and determination. At the Royal Rumble, Ivory may learn what so many others have learned in the past -- that every time you tell Chyna she can't do something, she will make you eat your words!
WINNER: IVORY Tag Team Championship Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz
Edge & Christian are five-time World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions. They won the first of those five titles at last year's WrestleMania, defeating the Dudley Boyz. Since then, the two teams have had some epic wars -- most of which involved "wood," and all of which "reeked of awesomeness." Edge & Christian say they have already defeated the Dudley Boyz 37,742 1/2 times. But who knows? Maybe the 37,743rd time will be the charm for the Dudley Boyz at the Royal Rumble!
WINNERS: THE DUDLEYZ |
