 EDDIE GUERRERO RETURNS TO ANNOUNCE HIS PARTICIPATION IN THE ROYAL RUMBLE AND ALSO ANNOUNCES THAT HE WILL GET HIS HANDS ON CHAVO GUERRERO!
January 1. 2004
On the first SMACKDOWN of 2004. Eddie Guerrero made his return for the first time since Survivor Series. Eddie said that at No Mercy, he saw the signs of Chavo backstabbing him and beating the hell out of him at Survivor Series, but Chavo didn't stop his Latino Heat. Chavo couldn't get the job done because Eddie is still standing. Eddie guaranteed that he would deal with Chavo later, but first he announced that he wanted to see himself main event WrestleMania 20 because he wanted to finish his redemption story by winning the Royal Rumble because of his issues with drugs and alcohol in real life. He wanted to win the Royal Rumble Match and become the World Champion! |

I thought it said L. Paul Bearer when they got Hussein and I was like "damn, Paul Bearer found Saddam himself? No wonder they made him a Lord." I can imagine Paul Bearer's voice now saying "Ohhh yes, My Undertaker and I found the killer". Undertaker looks into the people at the press conference saying "And now Saddam Hussein can Rest In Peace!" |

 TEST WINS THE HARDCORE TITLE OVER JOHN CENA
January 22. 2004
On the SMACKDOWN before the Royal Rumble. John Cena was forced to defend the Hardcore Championship against The Big Show thanks to the public humiliation last week after Cena & Chris Benoit made Paul Heyman eat soap. During the Hardcore Title defense, a few RAW Superstars like La Resistance. Viscera. Gangrel. Rodney Mack. Crash Holly & Goldust tried to take the title, but they failed to do so, then SMACKDOWN Stars like Billy Gunn, Rhyno, Mark Henry, A-Train, Billy Kidman, Paul London and others tried to gain the belt, it felt like a Royal Rumble until Test showed up and hit Cena with a big boot and won the WWE Hardcore Championship, and shortly thereafter. The Big Show attacked everyone and cleared the ring of everybody similar to what he would do at the Royal Rumble Match. |

 Evolution wanted to prove that Armageddon's clean sweep was no fluke, and they did so first when Batista & Ric Flair retained the WWE RAW Tag Team Championship against The Dudley Boys in their speciality, a tables match.
 After the Tables Match. Just like Survivor Series, The Legion of Doom's music played as they came out to stare down with The Dudley Boys setting up a future tag team tease.
 Speaking of tag teams. Scotty 2 Hotty & Rikishi captured the WWE SMACKDOWN Tag Team Championship over The Basham Brothers.
 And in their first ever one on one PPV Showdown. Shawn Michaels battled Sting for the World Heavyweight Championship, but it turned out to be the Heartbreak Kid that was able to retain the World Heavyweight Title over Sting!
 The 40-Man Royal Rumble was to determine who would go on to face the WWE or the World Heavyweight Champion at WrestleMania, the first entrant was none other than Chris Benoit. Benoit had fought for his life and even made it to the final 3!.
![Wrestling History Via WWE Network ...]() Benoit did eliminate 8 competitors in the match including the 500-pound World's Largest Athlete The Big Show!.
 Evolution's newest member and so called Legend Killer, Randy Orton entered at #2 and had a heck of a Rumble Performance and had even taunted Mick Foley just weeks before the Royal Rumble!.
 But Orton's past came back to bite him, just as the WWE Hardcore Champion Test was about to be the #26 entrant, he was found knocked out by Mick Foley. Foley entered the ring and got himself a piece of Randy Orton and thus they eliminated each other.
 But it was not over for Mick Foley as he and Randy Orton brawled all the way backstage igniting their Hardcore Feud.
 Even the Rumble was also filled with former World Heavyweight Champions in the match, including recently former World Heavyweight Champion Triple H.
![Dwayne Johnson kicked out of the WWE ...]() The Rock also made his presence felt when he eliminated his former rival Triple H in the match, but he would be eliminated in the final 6 by The Big Show!.
Also participating in the Royal Rumble was Stone Cold Steve Austin as well, he did manage to get an elimination eliminating Goldberg, but he was distracted by Brock Lesnar once again after a backstage confrontation between the two once more allowing Angle to eliminate Austin.
 But the #40 entrant Goldberg was looking to make a name for himself and main event WrestleMania as he eliminated 3 competitors and had been on a serious high since burying The Undertaker alive. But then!.
 The lights went out in the arena as a shadowy figure appeared in a hat and coat, as it seemed to be the Shadow of The Undertaker wearing his infamous hat & coat attire as the gongs appeared, but it clearly wasn't his face.
 Goldberg was distracted thanks to The Undertaker's mind games on Goldberg telling The Undertaker's ghost that he buried him alive and that he was next!, that distraction alone allowed Stone Cold Steve Austin to eliminate Goldberg.
 But it would be Eddie Guerrero that would make his comeback after being betrayed by Chavo, Eddie Guerrero guaranteed that he would make history and shock the world by winning the Royal Rumble Match, he eliminated Chavo Guerrero after entering at #34 and then eliminated Kurt Angle, until it was down to Eddie & Benoit.
 The Philadelphia Fans were in for a special treat as they saw Chris Benoit & Eddie Guerrero be one of the final two competitors. They didn't care who would win the Rumble. They just wanted to go home happy, the two fought in the Rumble for 10 minutes.
 The crowd was split as Benoit & Guerrero were fighting to the end of the match.
 But it would be Latino Heat Eddie Guerrero that would win his first Royal Rumble Match ever eliminating Chris Benoit and thus earning a shot at WrestleMania 20 to face either the WWE or the World Heavyweight Champion!. |
