Cena’s music and he comes out to start the show. He grabs a mic and waits for the music and video package. Video of Cena being disassembled by the New Nexus three weeks ago. Cena’s hot! He says that was three weeks ago, last year! This is his first time in the ring in 2011 and he’s ready. He has his list of resolutions.

It’s Miz’s music. He and Riley, in dapper suits and ties. Miz asks, really, he’s going to win back the WWE Championship at WM? Really? Really? Really? He thinks it’s safe to say, nobody wants that. Cena’s played out. Miz is the must see Champ in WWE, more so than Cena. Since Miz won, RAW’s been more exciting than it’s been in years. And he hates to break it to Cena – as Miz and Riley climb into the ring – but the odds are against Cena winning the Royal Rumble. “Cena!” chants. Miz says for the first time ever the Royal Rumble has 40 participants. It’s the biggest Rumble ever in the WWE. The winner gets to decide who they’ll face in the main event at WM. He suggests to whoever wins the Royal Rumble, don’t go after Miz.

HUGE “Cena” chants. If Cena does come after him, he’ll have the same fate as Orton in two weeks, Cena will lose! Cena mocks Miz and says if Cena can change, Miz can change and everybody can change. That Title he has, it should have changed twice already. If not for Cole, Lawler should be Champion! The fans love this. And if not for Riley, Orton should be Champ! Cena says they’re must see? They look like a more feminine version of the Kardashian sisters. Riley is a chicken McNugget who carries a choo-choo train in a briefcase. Cole has the street cred of the JoBros. Miz, the only challenge bout he’s had in six months is with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome). That means Miz’s body makes poopie noises. It’s PG, he’s doing the best that he can! The only thing he must see about the WWE Champ is him actually have a match! Miz fled leaving Riley to get pinned by King! Big props to Jerry, the only person in this group who actually wants to fight somebody! “Jerry!” chants fill the arena.

Miz tells Cena he’s corny! He’s so sick of the label that Miz is afraid to fight. It’s lame and generic, just like Cena. There’s no doubt that he can fight with the best brawlers in WWE history. Miz knows it, Cena knows it and the whole WWE Universe knows it! There is no doubt that Miz can out wrestle the so-called greatest technicians in WWE history. The entire WWE Universe knows it. Because he’s the Miz and he’s – he will finish that sentence when he beats Orton.

Cena says that’s the first thing that makes sense. When he thinks of Orton facing Cena at WM, that sounds like a Championship Match. Feels like WM, Championship-worthy Match. It is WM! Miz will not make it past the Royal Rumble. Miz will not make it to WM. Is the corny guy getting under his skin yet. They have a difference of opinion? He ‘must see’ Miz do something about it. “Cena” chants.

Out comes Punk. He’s leading Otunga, McGillicutty and Husky. Punk has a bit of a shiner! It’s his right eye. Looks like he has a couple of big scratches or something over the eye and down on his cheek. Punk says Miz doesn’t have to explain or prove himself to the jerk known as Cena. Mix, you’re the WWE champ, Cena is not. Cena, you will not be WWE Champ. As Miz has already stated, there’s 40 participants in the Royal Rumble making the odds even greater that Cena won’t win. If you take into consideration that Punk’s in the Royal Rumble, along with Nexus. Couple that with how tough Nexus proved themselves to be last week. Compound that with the sole purpose of each and every member of the New Nexus has in the Royal Rumble is to see that Punk walks out the winner. Then Cena’s odds go from slim to a big, fat zero. Punk cannot and will not wait to see Cena take on those odds.

Husky, Otunga and McGillicutty to the ring. They attack Cena in the ring, but then Santino and Kozlov are out there fighting back from being attacked last week! Nexus ends up fleeing the ring. Punk looks ill. Punk huddled up, then asked Cena that he wants to play games, then take on these odds. Punk joins his boys as they head for the ring, but -

Ding-Ding! Heat for Cole. And I quote, “I wonder what the odd are of Punk beating Cena one on one tonight if the Nexus members are barred from ringside. In fact, if any Nexus member is involved in the Cena Vs. Punk Match later tonight, they will be officially out of the Royal Rumble Match.” Nexus really didn’t like that, but Cena’s very happy.
