Last week before the Rumble - to save time, I'm only recapping the stuff that directly involved the Rumble match:

Raw

-The Bishop/Kreeve Connection defeated Los Conquistadors to get into the Rumble thanks to interference from David E. and Matt Hardy. Later on GM Chris Jericho announced that it would be David and Matt putting the World Tag Team Titles on the line against the Conquistadors at the Rumble, and if the Conquistadors lost, they would have to unmask.

The Uprising manipulated Chris Jericho into sanctioning a Royal Rumble qualifying match against two women, Jodie Marie and Tyra Foxx. The match was a HELL of a lot closer than people expected, but in the end The Uprising still ended up victorious.

With only 1 Raw slot left, we saw a preview of Royal Rumble with Alex Michaels taking on Brian York in a non-title match for the spot. Michaels and his manager, M-A-G tried their damndest to screw York for a 3rd straight week, but that in itself cost them as York was able to take advantage and earn his slot, paying Michaels back for the previous 2 weeks.

Smackdown

-Spanky defeated Ryan Creed thanks to a distraction from Mark Mason to earn a slot in the Rumble.

-Reaper decimated Billy Kidman to get his spot in.

-Tempest defeated Cero thanks to interference from Mordecai to get into the Rumble. Afterwards, Mordecai administered more of a beating and laid down the law, saying he wanted Cero at the Rumble and he'd even put his European Title on the line. Kurt Angle would approve of the match later on.

-The Thug Life Soldiers trashed The Ameri-French Connection and basically said that they'd be there to screw the Connection out of their qualifying match. Then as the match was happening, the Connection were basically afraid, and this enabled Simon Diamond and Sean Casey to win and earn slots. After, we saw the Soldiers watching from the back, laughing their asses off at how they cost the Connection their matches without even leaving their dressing room.

-To fill the final slot, Kevin Daniels faced Cruiserweight Champion Mark Mason. Daniels ended up victorious thanks to interference from Mason's opponent at the PPV, Ryan Creed.

And so here's the finalized card:

WWE Title: The Royal Rumble Match
Raw Participants: AJ Styles, Apocalypse, Bishop, Brian York,
Derrick King, Eugene, Fortune, Garrett, Goldberg, Jason Collins,
Jason Cross, Jason Lee, Kreeve, Sean Criss, and Trinity
SmackDown! Participants: Chris Carvill, Chris Sylvain, Ian Moore,
John Cena, Ken Shamrock, Kevin Daniels, Lance Storm,
Mike Sullivan, Mourn, Rayne, Reaper, Simon Diamond, Sean Casey,
