So what i've decided to do is start and Rebook the Royal Rumble Matches, What I'm also planning on doing is start it off with 1986. The Big 4 PPVs didn't begin in 1986, but as you can see in my first rebooking, that Summerslam & Survivor Series in my timeline started it off in 1985. But I wanted to rebook the Royal Rumble Matches, and rebook the winners, also book the eliminations as well and use Ai on my facebook messenger to help me out too. So the first one we are going to start is of course 1986.

So the First Royal Rumble in 1986 will begin on January 17 and it would be held in the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

So the first entrant in the match will be Kamala, I know Kamala debuted in the WWE in 1986 in real life later that year, but let's pretend he debuted in 1985 late in the WWE.

So Kamala enters the ring and waits for the #2 entrant which is Bob Backlund who missed out on the WWE in 1985, but has decided to resign in Early 1986 to get another chance at the WWE Championship.

The bell rings, and the match begins!

Kamala and Bob Backlund face off, sizing each other up. The crowd is electric, knowing this unexpected pairing will deliver an exciting clash of styles.

Kamala, fueled by his intense ferocity, charges at Backlund. But the cunning former champion dodges and quickly wraps Kamala in a headlock.

Backlund's technical skills are put to the test against Kamala's brute strength. Will Backlund's grappling expertise prevail, or will Kamala's power overwhelm him?

The action unfolds:

Kamala pushes Backlund to the ropes, but Backlund holds tight to the headlock.

Kamala attempts to break free, but Backlund transitions into an armbar.

Kamala's sheer strength allows him to lift Backlund, slamming him to the mat.

The match is intense, with both competitors trading offense.

Timers count down to the next entrant's arrival... 60... 50... 40...

Who will join the fray next?

And who will be #3?

10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1.

It's Terry Funk!.

Terry Funk, the legendary hardcore wrestler, bursts into the ring, and the dynamics shift dramatically.

Kamala and Terry Funk form an unlikely alliance, targeting Bob Backlund with a vicious double-team assault.

The crowd erupts in chaos as Funk's unpredictable nature and Kamala's brute force overwhelm Backlund.

Funk delivers signature strikes:

- A series of explosive chops

- A piledriver that sends Backlund crashing

Kamala adds his dominance:

A massive splash

- A powerful headbutt

Backlund struggles to defend himself against the relentless double-team attack.

Timers count down to the next entrant's arrival... 30... 20... 10...

Who will join the fray next to potentially shift the balance?

10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. #4 is?

Bret "The Hitman" Hart!. Bret is a heel, so he, Kamala & Funk triple team Backlund in the match, the former WWE Champion desperately tries fighting back and somehow wears both heels down with right hands, but an uppercut by Kamala stops Backlund in his tracks.

Who will be #5?

10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. #5 is?

It's the WWE Champion, Hulk Hogan entering at #5. He saves Backlund from the Heels and he comes in a house of fire as he eliminates Funk. And now it's 2 on 2. Backlund is paired with Hart in one corner while Hulk Hogan & Kamala are fighting on the other corner.

Mr. Fuji is #6. He enters the ring and tries to help Kamala against Hogan, but Hogan fights back against the two with a double noggin knocker and immediately tosses out Fuji!.

And now entering at #7 is Adrian Adonis. he and Bret team up with Backlund while Hogan & Kamala are going at it with Kamala gaining the upper hand and hitting Hogan with a massive samoan drop.

Tito Santana, the Intercontinental Champion enters at #8 and it's 3 on 3, Santana & Adonis have a back and forth brawl with one another, but they don't eliminate each other, just not yet!.

Jim Brunzell enters at #9 and goes after Bret Hart, the ring fills up with capacity, 7 men are now in the ring. The only 2 so far that have been eliminated have been Terry Funk & Mr. Fuji thanks to the hands of the WWE Champion Hulk Hogan!

Lanny Poffo comes out at #10 and goes to work on Kamala, but that's a mistake that Poffo made right there as Kamala immediately tosses him out with ease!

Entering at #11 is Cowboy Bob Orton going after the WWE Champion Hulk Hogan. The Ring is filling up once again with 8 competitors. Meanwhile, Brunzell attempts to toss Bret over but Adrian Adonis lifts Brunzell and tosses him over the top rope.

The #12 entrant is Matt Borne. He goes to work on Hogan, but Hogan no sells it and gets his third elimination by eliminating Borne!

Entering at #13 is Cpl. Kirschner, going for Adrian Adonis. The Ring has 8 competitors now. It's absolute mayhem, And the winner of that match becomes the Inaugural Winner of the Royal Rumble.

And business has picked up as the #14 entrant is Big John Studd. Studd goes after Hogan. Kirschner and Backlund try to help Hogan, but Studd tosses them both out, Hogan eventually gets rid of Adonis while Santana eliminates Orton!, and who will be #15 in the match?

#15 is Dino Bravo, he goes straight for Bret Hart as the ring begins to fill up once more, despite a boatload of eliminations earlier.

#16 is Junkyard Dog. He enters the ring and goes right after Kamala while Hogan & Studd still continue to go at it.

Don Muraco enters the ring next at #17 and goes after Tito Santana, the two have had a rivalry with Santana capturing the Intercontinental Title over Muraco 2 years ago!

Ivan Putski enters at #18 and he goes after the Junkyard Dog, meanwhile Hogan & Kamala are picking up from where they left off earlier and Hogan with his brute strength eliminates Kamala from the match. As the crowd goes wild.

Blackjack Mulligan comes in at #19 and goes after Ivan Putski. 9 men are now in the ring.

The Mighty Hercules enters at #20, he eliminates both Putski & Mulligan who were fighting on the ropes! Meanwhile, Bravo gets eliminated by Big John Studd.

And entering at #21 is Paul Roma. He enters the ring to try to eliminate Studd, but Studd is too powerful and clotheslines Roma over the top rope!

But what the it's BRUISER BRODY entering at #22 and he's got his sights set on the WWE Champion Hulk Hogan. Brody is beating Hogan viciously with the chain to the head, neck, back and arms and Hogan is bleeding. Hogan gets eliminated by Bruiser Brody, but Bruiser Brody is not done yet, he eliminates himself and continues to attack Hogan. The fans are stunned.

Nikolai Volkoff enters at #23, but the story back outside the ring is Bruiser Brody is still destroying Hogan. Brody eventually finishes his beatdown by piledriving Hogan on the concrete mat!. Brody leaves the arena while Hogan is being carried out on a stretcher.

S.D. Jones enters the ring at #24 and goes after Don Muraco while Hogan is being wheeled out. But OMG! Bruiser Brody is back again, he is attacking Hogan. Somebody stop him!. Finally, Bruiser leaves but the damage to the WWE Champion has been severely done.

King Kong Bundy enters at #25, and he and his partner Big John Studd start cleaning house on heel and face!. Bundy grabs S.D. Jones and tosses him over the top rope. Santana eventually eliminates Volkoff, but Santana & JYD are outnumbered as they are the two babyfaces in the ring while four of the remaining guys are heels. Are they going to get relief?.

They do as Davey Boy Smith enters the ring at #26. Muraco charges at Santana but Santana ducks and dropkicks Muraco over the top rope to the floor.

Hillbilly Jim enters at #27 and gets into a big hoss fight with King Kong Bundy. Meanwhile, Santana, JYD & Davey Boy team up against Studd while Hart is just waiting in the corner!. And so too is Hercules!

Jake Roberts comes in at #28 and goes after Hillbilly Jim. But meanwhile, Davey Boy Smith has tossed out the Hitman!. What a run for Bret Hart!. But he won't be winning this one!

And now entering at #29 is The Macho Man Randy Savage. He goes after Tito Santana gaining advantage for the heels!.

And the last entrant for the match is Paul Orndorff. He is #30, we have 10 men in the ring now!, the first eliminated out of the final 10 is Hillbilly Jim as he is eliminated by King Kong Bundy!.

Final 9: Junkyard Dog. Tito Santana. Davey Boy Smith. Big John Studd. Hercules. King Kong Bundy. Jake Roberts. Randy Savage & Paul Orndorff!

But shortly after, Roberts is eliminated by Davey Boy Smith and we are down to 8!. Hercules is then eventually eliminated by Davey Boy Smith & Junkyard Dog. 3 eliminations by Davey Boy Smith in the tail end of the Royal Rumble!

And wow, Big John Studd is the next to be eliminated by Davey Boy Smith & The Junkyard Dog. That is a big elimination!.

Tito Santana, who is still in the match finally gets himself eliminated by Randy Savage, and we are down to 5. Randy Savage, King Kong Bundy, Davey Boy Smith, The Junkyard Dog & Paul Orndorff.

But unfortunately, it's not JYD's night as King Kong Bundy tosses him out with ease and we are down to the final 4. It's Savage & Bundy vs Davey Boy & Paul Orndorff.

The two brawl for an amount of 5 minutes, but shockingly enough Davey Boy Smith tosses out Paul Orndorff, as these two are supposed to be babyfaces.

And now Davey Boy (face) & Savage (heel) go to work on King Kong Bundy who is a heel and both of them eliminate Bundy, that's shocking. Although it's every man for himself.

Savage & Smith brawl for 10 minutes with Savage hitting his patented elbow drop on Smith, but he does not eliminate Smith just yet!. The match continues and Davey Boy Smith sees an opening and eliminates Savage with a clothesline, and Davey Boy Smith is the inaugural winner of the 1986 Royal Rumble Match, what a victory for Davey Boy Smith!.

After the Royal Rumble, Hogan and Brody faced off at WrestleMania 2 for the WWE Championship in a Los Angeles Street Fight Match with the two being in a brutal back and forth brawl as both men were bloodied up in the contest with Hogan able to retain the title over Brody. my rebooking of 1986 continues with Paul Orndorff betraying Hulkamania and capturing the WWE Championship over Hogan, and also Andre The Giant getting suspended and also Andre making his return to the WWE in the Fall of 1986 being reinstated by an "anonymous" person but who was it?.

In the middle of 1986, Bam Bam Bigelow and a handful of others that were from WCCW and others would be joining the WWF as it would be a big roster from late 1986 to early 1987!, plus also. Magnum T.A. is not paralyzed!. He has a minor car accident as he walks away from it unscathed!. He also signs a contract with the WWF as well!.

So the Second Royal Rumble starts off in Landover, MD on January 18, 1987!

The first entrant of the match is Roddy Piper who comes out to a big ovation, the commentators say that Piper was not in the Rumble Match last year, but has an opportunity to redeem himself!.

Randy Savage enters at #2, the runner-up from last year enters at #2 as Savage this time is the Intercontinental Champion. The Bell Rings as Piper & Savage go straight at it for 2 minutes, until the #3 entrant is announced. Who is next?.

Entering at #3 is Mr. Fuji, just like last year. He does not last long as Piper tosses him straight over the top rope to the floor cleanly.

Don Muraco enters at #4, he and Savage start to team up on Piper, but they turn on each other.

Dynamite Kid enters at #5 and goes to town on Muraco & Savage!.

The 6th entrant of the match is one half of the NWA Roster. Barry Windham. Windham goes right for everyone in the match!.

S.D. Jones enters at #7 and goes to work on Don Muraco in the match.

The Great Kabuki comes in at #8 and blinds SD Jones with mist and tosses him over the top rope to the floor!.

The next competitor to enter in the match is Blackjack Mulligan entering at #9 going after Savage!

Ricky Steamboat enters at #10 and goes right after Randy Savage. Savage fights back, but Steamboat is able to battle back and sends himself & Savage over the top rope to the floor!., shortly after, Windham eliminates Blackjack Mulligan!.

The One Man Gang is the next to enter at #11 and immediately eliminates Kabuki. And then eliminates Dynamite Kid next!

Mike Rotundo is next to try to attack The One Man Gang, but The One Man Gang gets his third elimination by eliminating Rotundo!.

Haku enters at #13 and stops One Man Gang by hitting a superkick. He then turns his attention to Windham as Piper & Muraco exchange blows in the ring.

Entering at #14 is Hercules. He enters the ring and immediately eliminates Windham making the ring go back to 5 again.

Cowboy Bob Orton enters at #15 as he & Muraco team up against Piper, but a miscommunication against Piper has Piper eliminate both men at the same time!.

Andre The Giant enters at #16 and goes right to work on The One Man Gang and tosses him out with ease!.

Brutus Beefcake from Dream Team enters at #17 and goes after Haku instead of not going after Andre.

The next competitor in the match is Kamala entering at #18 as he goes after Andre The Giant. But meanwhile, Hercules eliminates Haku after a backdrop!.

Jacques Rougeau enters at #19 and goes right after Hercules. The ring is starting to fill up, but Andre is the main focal point. Andre gets 2 more eliminations eliminating Beefcake & Rougeau at the same time.

Tito Santana enters at #20 and goes after Hercules, but there's no eliminations yet.

Big John Studd comes in at #21 and goes after his former rival, Andre The Giant!. But does not eliminate him, but in a shocking moment. Big John Studd grabs Andre and bodyslams him to the mat with the wrestlers standing in awe!.

Entering at #22 is The Honky Tonk Man, he enters the ring but takes his time watching the fight unfold!.

Larry Zbyzsko enters at #23 and goes to work on Kamala with the ring filling up! Zbyzsko low bridges Kamala over the top rope to the floor as Kamala charged at him.

Rick Martel comes in at #24 and he and Tito Santana team up against Big John Studd!.

Entering at #25 is Ronnie Garvin, he immediately eliminates Larry Zbyzsko.

Jake Roberts enters at #26 and goes after The Honky Tonk Man who hit him with the guitar. after a brief rally by Jake. Jake grabs him and tosses him over!

Adrian Adonis enters at #27 and after a brief struggle. Adonis eliminates his rival Piper who lasted a long time in the match!.

King Kong Bundy enters at #28 and he and Big John Studd both team up to eliminate Rick Martel & Tito Santana, but as they celebrate. Bundy shockingly surprises Studd by tossing Studd over the top rope to the floor.

Entering at #29 is Hillbilly Jim. He goes right for King Kong Bundy, 7 men are left. Garvin charges at Andre but Andre grabs him and powerslams him over the top rope and the field is down to 6 before the #30 entrant!.

And Junkyard Dog enters at #30, we have 7 men left, who is going to win the Rumble?.

Hillbilly Jim gets eliminated by King Kong Bundy as Bundy gets his third elimination of the match. It is down to 6. As Roberts eliminates Adonis in the match. We are down to 5. But Bundy gets his next elimination by eliminating Roberts in the match.

We are down to the final 4. King Kong Bundy & Hercules vs Andre The Giant & Junkyard Dog. Hercules eliminates JYD,

And we are down to 3. Hercules & Bundy who are part of the Heenan Family team up against Andre. But Andre makes a comeback and eliminates Hercules, and it's down to 2 super heavyweights in the Second 1987 Royal Rumble Match. Andre & Bundy fight for 3 minutes until Andre makes a comeback after surviving 2 devastating splashes. Andre then hits a big boot to send Bundy crashing over the top rope to the floor. Andre has done it!.

After the match. Hulk Hogan enters the ring and tries to celebrate with Andre, but Andre walks away. Leaving more questions than answers.

The answers and questions were true, in February of 1987. It was revealed that Bobby Heenan was the mastermind behind Andre's return turning Andre heel for the first time and wanting to challenge Hogan for a title match at WrestleMania 3. The next week, Hogan said "YES" to Andre's challenge, and at WrestleMania 3. Hogan defeated Andre, 1987 continued on smoothly after that.

And now we move on to 1988. But before the Royal Rumble Match. Andre The Giant shocked everybody with help from Ted Dibiase by winning the WWE Championship against Hulk Hogan. But shortly after, Andre gave the belt to Ted Dibiase. Jack Tunney came down and attempted to strip Dibiase of the title, but Dibiase gave Tunney a $1 Million Dollar Belt. Tunney reluctanly obliged and awarded Dibiase with the title.

But with all that being said, Ted Dibiase's name may be in the Royal Rumble Match, so with that behind, let's reveal the 1988 Royal Rumble Match.

Entering at #1 is Hillbilly Jim. Hillbilly Jim could score a huge upset, he's a big guy, but can he go the distance. We're about to find out.

Entering at #2 is Nikolai Volkoff. Volkoff starts singing the Russian Anthem that annoys Hillbilly Jim, but after the singing ends. The bell rings, but Hillbilly Jim wastes no time in eliminating Volkoff!

The 3rd entrant in the match is Sika. Sika gains some momentum against Hillbilly Jim, but as he has the Hillbilly on the ropes. Hillbilly Jim sends him out of the ring with a clothesline! And once again, Hillbilly Jim stands alone!

Butch Reed comes in at #4 and both these two heavyweights exchange blows, but Hillbilly Jim does not eliminate Reed as Reed puts on a brave fight than Sika & Volkoff fared against Hillbilly Jim. But who will be the 5th entrant?.

Chris Adams, former WCCW Entrant enters at #5 and goes right for Reed & Hillbilly at the same time, he throws suplexes, armdrags and dropkicks impressing the crowd. But who will be the #6 entrant?.

The next entrant is Dino Bravo, the ring is now up to 4, Dino grabs Hillbilly and stunguns him over the top rope to the floor, what a great effort by Hillbilly eliminating Sika & Nikolai Volkoff, but Hillbilly won't be winning the 1988 Royal Rumble!.

Hercules comes in at #7, and he, Bravo & Reed team up against Adams, but Adams fights back and sends Reed out of the ring with a dropkick!.

But we have a surprise return at #8 and it's Roddy Piper. Piper saves Adams from the 2 on 1 attack, and now Piper & Adams are teaming up against Bravo & Hercules.

But then King Kong Bundy comes in at #9 and tosses Adams over the top rope like a ragdoll, the 3 team up against Piper, but when Bundy attempts his avalanche. Piper rolls out of the way and fights back and eventually gets rid of Dino Bravo!.

Rick Martel, one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions enters at #10 and goes after King Kong Bundy while Piper & Hercules go at it!.

Steve Lombardi enters at #11 and tries to attack King Kong Bundy, but Bundy will not have any of it and tosses Lombardi up and over. That's Bundy's 2nd elimination!., so far. Sika, Nikolai Volkoff, Hillbilly Jim, Butch Reed, Chris Adams, Dino Bravo & Steve Lombardi have been eliminated.

Meanwhile, The Honky Tonk Man, the WWF Intercontinental Champion enters at #12 and goes straight after Roddy Piper!.

Paul Orndorff comes in at #13 to a big ovation and gets rid of his former Heenan Family Member Ally. King Kong Bundy and starts to get involved in a former rival brawl with Roddy Piper!. But Hercules stops their fight and goes after Orndorff, Rick Rude enters at #14 and as soon as Orndorff fights Hercules off. Rude lifts Orndorff up by eliminating him after Orndorff attempted to eliminate Hercules!.

Pedro Morales comes in at #15 and goes after The Honky Tonk Man, the ring starts to fill up to 6 people now.

But here comes a game changer, it's The One Man Gang entering at #16, friend or foe. He can go after everyone. The Gang grabs Morales and tosses him over the top rope to the floor. And although it's every man for himself. The Gang attacks everyone, heel or face!.

Ken Patera enters at #17 and knocks down The One Man Gang, and the ring is filling up right now!.

Barry Windham comes in at #18 and goes after Roddy Piper.

George Steele comes in at #19 and does his usual thing of eating the turnbuckles, but he's eliminated by The One Man Gang in seconds!.

Danny Davis entering at #20 doesn't fare well either as he is eliminated by Ken Patera, But before Patera celebrates his elimination, he's eliminated by Hercules & Rick Rude!.

Tito Santana enters at #21 as he and Rick Martel start to team up together, the ring is still filling up, seems like nobody is backing down.

The Iron Sheik enters at #22 and the ring is filling back up to 9 competitors, but there's still no elimination as of yet!

But Andre The Giant comes in at #23 and starts to clean house, friend or foe. He eliminates Barry Windham, The Iron Sheik, Tito Santana, Rick Martel, The Honky Tonk Man & The One Man Gang within seconds. Andre, Hercules & Rude start to team up with Piper although they are partners.

Here comes Randy Savage entering at #24 to make the save for Piper. Savage grabs Hercules and tosses him over the top rope, and immediately eliminates Hercules & Rude. Andre then grabs Savage and Piper and chokeslams them both to the mat.

Davey Boy Smith enters at #25 and tries to stop Andre's dominance, but Andre grabs him and tosses him over the top rope to the floor.

The new WWF Champion, Ted Dibiase enters at #26 and he and Andre team up against Piper & Savage!.

Ron Bass enters the ring at #27 and helps Andre & Dibiase out with Savage & Piper as it's now 3 on 2.

Brutus Beefcake comes in at #28 and goes after Ron Bass. The ring is filling back up with 6 competitors now in the ring.

The Great Kabuki comes in at #29 and goes after everybody, He shocks everybody by hitting Andre with a clothesline taking the big man off his feet!.

Harley Race, the final entrant comes in at #30, we have 8 men in the ring. Bass is eliminated by Brutus Beefcake!.

And we are down to 7. But look, everybody is ganging up on Andre and they take him over the top rope to the floor in an amazing herculean effort, and suddenly the WWF Champion Ted Dibiase is also eliminated.

We are down to 5. Randy Savage, Brutus Beefcake, The Great Kabuki, Roddy Piper & Harley Race!. But not for long as Race gets eliminated by Piper!.

Kabuki gets eliminated by Beefcake, as we are down to the final 3 as these 3 men are fan favorites. It's tough to decide who will win this match. Savage gets rid of Beefcake, and we are down to Roddy Piper vs Randy Savage. Piper came in at #8 and Savage came in at #24.

The two brawl for 10 minutes with Savage breaking free from Piper's sleeper hold and eliminating him instantly as he wins the 1988 Royal Rumble Match.

Savage's 1988 Royal Rumble Win earned him a Championship Match against Ted Dibiase at WrestleMania 4 with Savage winning the title and Hogan finally ending his rivalry with Andre, as for Piper being in the final 2, he returned to the WWF full time in 1988 taking on Harley Race at WrestleMania 4 while The Ultimate Warrior finally ended The Honky Tonk Man's reign as Intercontinental Champion that same night as well. At Summerslam, Ric Flair alongside Arn Anderson, Barry Windham & Tully Blanchard made their debuts attacking Randy Savage & Hulk Hogan with Flair demanding to face Savage for the WWF Championship, at Survivor Series, Flair led a team to defeat The Mega Powers's team, but doomsday was brewing between the Mega Powers at the end of 1988 and at the start of 1989.

Also Andre retires as a face at the end of 1988 tired of taking orders from Bobby Heenan & Ted Dibiase after failing to win against Hulk Hogan in a Steel Cage Match at WrestleMania 4!. He defeats Heenan at Survivor Series in his last match as he gets surgery and goes on a weight loss binge and doesn't die in 1993!, he however stays on as a WWE Ambassador and continues to do so to this day until his death to cancer in 2007!.

So after 1988, we move on to 1989. The MegaPowers agree to a one on one title match with each other at the Royal Rumble, the two face off similar to their WrestleMania 5 battle, but surprisingly it's Savage that gets the win, Hogan on the other hand is dejected, but instead he decides to give Savage his praise. But the biggest match of the night is going to be the 40-Man Royal Rumble, instead of 30. Jack Tunney wants to do a 40-Man Royal Rumble Match and he's added something special, the winner of that match will face Randy Savage at WrestleMania 5 for the WWF Championship.

Meanwhile, the WWF wants to have wrestlers from WCW/NWA/AWA and other wrestling promotions to take part in the Royal Rumble Match like 2 years ago, and they happily oblige. So with that being said, let the Rumble begin.

The first entrant is the former WWF Intercontinental Champion, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat who comes out to a big ovation as he awaits the #2 entrant.

The #2 entrant is Bad News Brown. Bad News & Steamboat enter the ring as they exchange blows with Steamboat gaining the upper hand on Bad News.

The #3 entrant is Ken Patera, he enters the ring and goes for Brown and Steamboat. There's no eliminations at the moment.

And now entering at #4 is The Brooklyn Brawler. But unfortunately, The Brawler doesn't fare too well as Bad News hits his signature Ghetto Blaster and eliminates Brawler from the match!.

Entering at #5 is Magnum T.A., who is still wrestling as we mentioned that his paralizing accident in my timeline doesn't happen. Magnum T.A. goes after Bad News Brown, the ring fills up.

The next person to enter at #6 is Bret "The Hitman" Hart. Bret goes after Ken Patera in the match, so far there have been no eliminations, but the only elimination in the match has been the Brooklyn Brawler!.

Entering at #7 is Hercules, He goes straight for Magnum T.A., The ring is still filling up, nobody is giving an inch on the eliminations.

The Iron Sheik comes in at #8 and goes right for Bret Hart, the ring is now filled up with 7 men. But we get an elimination as Ken Patera gets backdropped over the top rope by Bad News Brown!.

And now entering at #9 is Arn Anderson and he goes right for Magnum T.A., But suddenly, another elimination happens as The Iron Sheik gets eliminated by Ricky Steamboat.

And entering at #11 is one half of the WWF Tag Team Champions. Demolition Smash. Smash goes right for Magnum T.A. The ring is filled to capacity,

And entering at #12 is Jim Brunzell. He doesn't do much as Arn Anderson hits his signature spinebuster on Brunzell and tosses him over the top rope to the floor!.

Entering at #13 is Ric Flair, Flair & Anderson team up and eliminate Muraco in the match. And Hercules doesn't fare too long as Flair & Anderson eliminate him.

And entering at #14 in the match is Harley Race. He goes right for Ric Flair as the ring begins to fill up once more.

And now entering at #15 is Hillbilly Jim. Hillbilly enters the ring and immediately eliminates Race with a clothesline, but Ric Flair sneaks up from behind Hillbilly Jim and eliminates him.

And here comes #16, it's Koko B. Ware. Koko enters the ring and hits a cross body on Flair and nails Anderson with a dropkick!, however another elimination occurs as Bad News Brown eliminates Magnum T.A.

Hulk Hogan enters the ring at #17 and starts to clean house. He eliminates Demolition Smash & Bret Hart and clotheslines both Ricky Steamboat and Bad News Brown over the top rope to the floor. Hogan then next eliminates Koko B. Ware and shockingly Anderson as well, And look at this, it's Hogan vs Flair, they are the only two in the ring now.

Sam Houston is the next competitor at #18, he goes after Ric Flair. But Flair tosses him over the top rope to the floor leaving it to Hogan & Flair once more.

Rick Martel enters at #19 and helps Ric Flair team up against Hulk Hogan, but he goes after Flair as well.

And the last man of the match is the Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase entering at #40 meaning that we are down to the final 12. In real life, Dibiase was the last man in the match and we are keeping that. So it's down to 12. One of these 12 will be winning the 1989 Royal Rumble, it could be the WWF Champion Randy Savage making it 2 in a row.

Jimmy Snuka is the first of the final 12 eliminated as Mr. Perfect eliminates him in the match.

So the 1990s have officially begun, At the start of 1990, on a televised edition in Madison Square Garden on January 15, 1990. Hogan & Flair didn't really waste any time as they were scheduled to be facing off at the Royal Rumble for the World Wrestling Federation Championship, but instead, Hogan wanted Flair to put the title on the line at the Garden televised, Vince McMahon wanted to sell this match, so he decided that there would be a MSG Special on the USA Network,

In the main event. Hogan took on Flair for the title, interference from the Four Horsemen almost saved Flair's championship as the referee was knocked out, but suddenly. Randy Savage who hadn't been seen at WrestleMania 5 as he was betrayed by Miss Elizabeth. Elizabeth was on the side of Ric Flair after that betraying Savage and thus helping him win the title at WrestleMania, Savage then attacked Flair and the rest of the Four Horsemen and that allowed Hogan to fight back and win the WWF Championship for the first time since 1988 making Hogan an unprecedented 4-time WWF Champion. So, the Hogan vs Flair match was postponed for the Rumble, instead both Hogan & Flair would be a part of the historic second 40-Man Royal Rumble Match with stars from AJPW & NJPW involved.

So the first entrant of the Royal Rumble is revealed to be "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair!, Flair enters the ring and entering at #2 is Koko B. Ware

The two men go at it with Koko getting the upper hand on Flair hitting a few dropkicks, a back body drop and an arm-drag but as Koko has Flair on the ropes. Koko charges at him only for Flair to send him over with a back body drop to the floor.

Stan Hansen comes in at #14 and eliminates Jushin Thunder Liger andthen hits Flair with a big clothesline, but doesn't eliminate him!. And then he eliminates Hercules as well.

Dino Bravo comes in at #15, but doesn't eliminate anyone, while Hansen is still dominating, but he doesn't eliminate anyone.

Paul Roma enters at #16 and decides to go after Hansen, but it's a big mistake as Hansen tosses him over the top rope!

Savage gets eliminated by Mr. Perfect and it's down to Hogan, Haku, Warrior & Perfect, Hogan & Warrior then have their confrontation allowing Haku & Perfect to take control, but Hogan & Warrior fight back and they eliminate Perfect!. Hogan & Warrior then stare each other down, but Haku enters and goes to hit one of them with a superkick, he hits one of them and it sends one of them over the top and it's the WWF Champion!.

Haku just eliminated the WWF Champion Hogan, unbelievable. Haku & Warrior are the last two with Warrior winning the match.

Shortly after, Haku got his title match after eliminating Hogan at SNME. But he failed to win the title as Hogan went over him once more. Warrior wins the WWF Title at WrestleMania 6, but he vacates the Intercontinental Title. Flair & Savage's rivalry continues with Flair dumping Elizabeth, and The Undertaker will make his debut at the 1990 Survivor Series. So 1991 is looking to be a good year for sure!.

We are now set for 1992, the controversy for the World Wrestling Federation Championship has been at a standstill because of the last 2 matches between The Undertaker & Hulk Hogan. The Undertaker has recently turned face and has grown tired of Ric Flair constantly interfering in the WWF Championship Matches between him and Hogan.

So Tunney announces that The World Wrestling Federation Championship would be on the line in the historic Royal Rumble Match with 50 superstars.

The Undertaker and Paul Bearer say that they don't mind the Championship on the line as long as The Undertaker gets his hands on both Ric Flair & Hulk Hogan and 47 competitors at the same time. He will dig 49 graves if he has to.
