(Raw)
With Royal Rumble this Sunday, every Superstar from Raw and SmackDown looks to stamp their way to make a name for themselves in the traditional 30 person over the top rope match.
However, Bliss Kingdom were still in the Corporation's crosshairs; following the recruitment of the Freak Lars Sullivan, Lexi hatched a plan to retaliate against the McMahons as last week she made a phone call to a very important friend.
There was no main event, but a confrontation between the male members of both Bliss Kingdom and the Corporation along with the Kingdom's newest member is the segment to end the show.
(Kingdom's Locker Room)
The group were all relaxing as they were watching the show. One of the scheduled matches was the Corporation's Freak, Lars Sullivan as he faces all three members of Lucha House Party.
Alex: let's see how a Freak Lars Sullivan is
Roman: a man that big can tear through anyone
Miz: even though it's three on one; there's no way Lucha House Party will survive
Lexi: guys, don't worry, I got a message from him that he'll be fighting side by side with you guys later tonight
Kevin: did he say anything last week?
Lexi: let's just say he has unfinished business with Corbin and Elias
Liv: that's all, Lex?
Lexi: looks like it; oh, there's a segment to promote the women's Rumble. Like the guys, we're confronting the Corporation women to hype up the Rumble match
Charlotte: fair enough
Becky: I have to get through that Bella again
Paige: I remember that years ago
Becky: she got the better of me before, but she hasn't met anyone like the Man
Then the Shield brothers got the Kingdom's attention.
Roman: guys, Lars' match is starting
Kevin: oh boy
Chase: let's see what he does
The Kingdom watched Lars' match closely.
(In the ring)
Lucha House Party were all ready to face the Freak.
Out came the 330 pound Freak and the Corporate muscle, Lars Sullivan. He made his intimidating entrance to the ring with an angry look on his face. Gran Metalik, Kalisto and Lince Dorado stood their ground as Lars went in.
(Match starts)
From the opening bell, Lars immediately flattened Kalisto with a vicious clothesline.
(Backstage)
The Kingdom were startled of Lars' viciousness.
Miz: damn
Dario: nearly took his head off
Colby: this will get violent
(In the ring)
Lince tried to run in to help, but the Freak countered with a back body drop; Metalik tried as well, but was flattened with Sullivan's boot. He threw Lince and Metalik out, and looks to end the match. He picked Kalisto up, and flattens the luchador with Freak Accident for the pinfall victory.
(Backstage, Corporate VIP room)
Vince: such ruthless aggression, I love it!
Shane: with Lars in the Royal Rumble match, there's no way Bliss Kingdom will survive
Corbin: this Sunday, the United States title is coming to the Corporation
Andrade: and so are the SmackDown Tag Team titles
Lacey: time for me to get that SmackDown Women's title from that nasty
Shane: confidence, I love it!
Nikki: Steph, I want to bring up something
Stephanie: what you have in mind?
Nikki: me and Brie want the Women's Tag Team titles
Stephanie: what about at Elimination Chamber?
Brie: okay, sounds good
Then Lars came into the VIP room, where he was met with applause from the McMahons and the Corporation.
McIntyre: I like this guy, he's a Freak and I'm a Psychopath
Lashley: I trained this man
Lars: I want to prove myself more... this Sunday at the Rumble match
Vince: yes, you got your shot
The Freak gave an intimidating grin.
(After commercial break)
It was time to promote the Women's Rumble match, so the Bliss Kingdom women were ready to confront the Corporate women.
Lexi: let's go girls
The Goddess led the front as Bayley, Becky, Charlotte, Sasha, Kairi, Liv, Carmella, Asuka, Billie and Paige were right behind her.
(In the ring)
Stephanie was in the ring with the Corporate women who consist of: Rose, Deville, the Bellas, Evans, Mickie and Zelina.
Stephanie: this Sunday will mark the start on the Road to WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble. These ladies in the ring with me will represent the Corporation in the Women's Rumble match and two championship matches. Nikki and Lacey, I'm counting on you to bring those titles to us
The Fearless Bella and the Sassy Southern Belle nodded.
Stephanie: now, onto the Rumble itself; Bliss Kingdom may have the numbers, but the Rumble is every woman for herself-
The Billion Dollar Princess was interrupted by the Kingdom. Alexa led the Kingdom and surrounded the ring. The Goddess grabbed a mic.
Lexi: Stephanie, you do have a point, the Rumble is every man and woman for themselves, but you don't know Bliss Kingdom's unbreakable bond
Stephanie and Lexi stared daggers at each other.
Lexi: this Sunday will be every woman for herself, but tonight; let Bliss Kingdom give you ladies a preview of what's to come
Lexi dropped the mic and Stephanie sensed trouble, so she got out of the ring just in time to witness the ensuing chaos. The Kingdom women got on the ring apron Shield style while Paige stood back and watched. The Corporate women were holding their ground ready for a fight.
Then all hell broke lose. The WWE Universe were given a treat for the Royal Rumble as the Bliss Kingdom women and the Corporate women brawled in the ring. Zelina was thrown over the top rope by Billie. Then the Femme Fatale helped the Goddess as they brawled with the Bellas.
The Four Horsewomen brawled with Mickie and Lacey while the Kabuki Warriors brawled with Rose and Deville. The Empress of Tomorrow and the Pirate Princess threw Fire and Desire over the top rope. After Mickie was thrown out by Boss and Hug, the Queen and the Man worked together to take out the Sassy Southern Belle. Charlotte got Evans up in the powerbomb position. The Man, Boss and Hugger decided to help out and threw Lacey over Shield style onto the Corporation. Zelina came back in, only to be ambushed by Liv's Codebreaker.
The Kingdom stood tall as the show went to commercial.
(Backstage)
Lexi and the girls were all ready as they got momentum on their side. It was now the guys' turn to hype up the match.
Lexi: our new member will be there with you guys
Miz: alright
Alex: we'll be back babe
The Viper and the Demon King led the Kingdom men group of: Alex, Chase, Travis, Colby, Dario, Pierce, Seth, Roman, Miz and Kevin. Unbeknownst to the Corporation, Bliss Kingdom has an ace up their sleeve that can match up with Lars.
(In the ring)
Shane and the Corporation men, which consist of: Batista, Corbin, Murphy, McIntyre, Lashley, Dawson, Wilder, Nakamura, Elias, Lars and Andrade were in the ring.
Shane: this Sunday will be the night of the Corporation because one of us will win the men's Royal Rumble match. Along with that, Corbin, Lashley, Andrade, Nakamura, Drew; we're counting on you to win those titles
The five men nodded with confidence while the Lone Wolf had a look of arrogance on his face.
Shane: now onto something important, Mike Rome can you-
Just like earlier, the Corporation were interrupted by the Kingdom men. Unlike the women, who surrounded the ring, the Kingdom men went in the ring to confront the Corporation head on. The Corporate men took a step back, but Lars stood his ground and the Freak stepped up in the face of the Viper.
Orton: we don't want to hear your "best in the world" crappy intro, Shane. We are all here to make a statement for this Sunday
Finn: you see, our leader Alexa has made a very important phone call after you recruited Lars here
The crowd cheered.
Orton: now, I'll let my protege speak
The Viper gave the mic to the Pharaoh.
Alex: Shane, when I AKOed you last week, it felt so damn good
The Pharaoh locked eyes with the so called best in the world.
Alex: but I felt, that wasn't enough; hell, even throwing you over the top rope this Sunday won't be enough. I wanted to do this for a long long time, and that is punting your skull
Shane had flashbacks of Randy punting his skull years ago.
Alex: I may even kick your boys' heads as well if they ever get in my way, especially you Murphy
Then Alex handed the mic over to Dario aka Blood Shepherd.
Shepherd: Corbin, I'll make sure this Sunday that you'll be thrown over; I don't care if you win the US title from AJ Styles because I'll be there to take it from you
Then the Demon King took the mic:
Finn: and Shane, do you think we're afraid of your Freak? Well...
He handed the mic back to Alex.
Alex: let me ask you a question, Shane
He got into Shane's face.
Alex: what's a Freak to a Monster?
Alex had a sadistic smile on his face as a familiar theme played.
Corbin, McIntyre and Lashley were beside themselves as Bliss Kingdom's newest member was Lexi's partner in the Mixed Match Challenge, the same man who helped Bliss Kingdom defeated Corbin and the Wolf-Pack at WrestleMania, the Monster Among Men, Braun Strowman.
The crowd popped from their seats as the Monster marched his way down the ramp and got in the ring to stand with Bliss Kingdom. The Monster got into the Freak's face as the crowd got more hyped up as one of their dream matches will soon become reality. Braun nodded as the crowd chanted, "get these hands."
While the two behemoths stared at one another, all hell broke loose as the Kingdom and Corporation brawled to the outside. Lars and Braun traded punches, and the Monster pushed the Freak to the ropes, only for Lars to hit a shoulder block, but with no effect. Braun went for a shoulder tackle of his own and fazed the Freak. The brawl between the Kingdom and Corporation went back in the ring while the two behemoths brawled.
The Wolf-Pack lieutenants were sent over the top rope by Chase, Colby and Dario. Alex clotheslined Murphy out; Finn took out Shinsuke with a slingblade; Orton nailed Andrade in the face with a dropkick. Travis leveled Batista with Sharp Attack; Pierce used his strength to toss the Revival and Elias out of the ring. Braun got Lars out with a heavy shoulder tackle. Then the Kingdom turned their attention to Shane. They fed the Best in the World to the Monster, and Braun threw Shane out to the Corporation like a rag doll.
The Kingdom stood tall with the Monster Among Men in their ranks as the Road to WrestleMania begins.
(A/N: in the Royal Rumble chapter, two people will make a return)
