Kofi Kingston won a Battle Royal to earn a WWE Intercontinental championship shot at Dolph Ziggler later in the card. It came down to Drew McIntyre, Jack Swagger and Kingston. He tossed over Drew as Swagger thought he had the match won. Swagger charged Kofi and Kofi ducked, pulling down the top rope. Swagger went over the top. The finish was the same as the first ever Royal Rumble. Standard fare. Big pop for the win. Also in the bout were Cody Rhodes, JTG, Chris Masters, Tyler Reks, Ezekiel Jackson, Mason Ryan, Chavo Guerrero, and Percy Watson of NXT Season 2.

Cody Rhodes & Drew McIntyre defeated JTG & Trent Baretta.

I thought the Dashing Ones were done forever? Guess not! Rhodes took the mic and said that he was the best looking person in the Arena tonight. He pointed out someone wearing a Cody t-shirt and asked if the fans knew the difference between him and everyone else. “Absolutely nothing.” He ripped on the fans and handed the mic to Drew. McIntyre said that he was wrestling Baretta, who’s from New Jersey and said that Baretta’s parents were here. He looked for them and then told them he was going to “kill your son tonight.” JTG took the mic and ripped on Rhodes, saying he looked like the evil monkey from Family Guy. Okaaaay. JTG and Baretta controlled Cody early, tagging in and out. Drew tagged in and the crowd was on him, chanting “USA.” He quickly took out Baretta and stomped the hell out of him in t he corner. Baretta kicked off a charge and used a Lucha armdrag before nailing a dropkick into the corner. Drew retreated to the floor, where he used Cody’s jacket to check his face. When he returned, Drew tried to get Baretta to shake his hand but Baretta dropkicker him. Baretta and JTG nailed Drew with a flapjack for a two count. The crowd enjoyed that. Cody tagged in and nailed a kneelife to the head off the ropes for a two on JTG. Drew and Cody began doubling on JTG, tagging in and out. Solid so far. Cody stomped away at JTG. They continued working over JTG. Drew elbowed Baretta off the apron. When Baretta tried to hit the ring, the ref stopped him, allowing more destruction to be unleashed on JTG. JTG tried to sunset flip McIntyre but Cody tagged in and kicked JTG, then locked on an chinlock. Rhodes went for a bulldog but JTG shoved him off. Baretta cleaned house with a flying forearm and a big missile dropkick, sending Drew hard into the corner for a near fall. Drew came back with an overhead belly to belly suplex for a two count. Baretta came back with a leg lariat but Cody broke up the count. JTG tossed Rhodes over the top. He skinned the cat and got tossed out again. Drew tossed JTG, then pinned Baretta with the double arm DDT. Very eh. The crowd didn’t buy the babyfaces as legitimate competition for the heels, which hurt their comeback spots.
