The first pay-per-view of the year,Royal Rumble 2009.It starts off with Matt Hardy challenging the cocky and young ECW champion Jack Swagger.However,Jack swagger's winning streak continues.After that,JBL faces John Cena for the World Heavyweight Championship with HBK at ringside.The terms JBL created for HBK was if JBL himself is crowned the new Worldheavyweight Champion,HBK would never ever have to work for JBL.During the match,HBK does the Sweet Chin Music on JBL and suprisingly he does it on Cena too.HBK placed JBL arms on Cena and HBK left the ring.The referee woke up after being tossed over the top rope accidentally and start to count but Cena still able to survive the pinfall and does the FU on JBL and finished the match with a pinfall on JBL.The most shocking moment for this year's royal rumble was the next match where Jeff Hardy defended his WWE champion against Edge.Jeff Hardy started off his pyrotechnics dance and enters the ring,but the general manager of Smackdown appeared and announced that Jeff's title match is gonna be a No disqualification match and Edge came out with his usual entrance and the match started.After some time,Jeff was gonna perform his finishing move The Swanton Bomb on Edge until Vickie came in and interfered and pull Jeff down the turnbuckle.Thanks god or should i say no,Matt Hardy (Jeff's bro) came in and drag Vickie out of the ring and brought a steel chair to ringside to aid Jeff against Edge's foul play.Jeff got out of the ring and went to grab a steel chair beside the commentary table and attempt to give Edge a chairshot,but Matt betrayed Jeff and instead of focusing on Edge,he gave a chairshot to Jeff.Edge got up and pinned Jeff and is crowned the new WWE champion but Matt leaves the ring being booed by audiences.Next was the 30-man royal rumble,Randy Orton came out at number 8 and won when Triple H was busy eliminating the other two Legacy Members (consists of Randy Orton,Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase).So Randy Orton has a choice to choose whether he will competed as the number one contender for the WorldHeavyweight Championship,WWE championship or the ECW Championship.
