Notes:

Generation X started out 2006 by defeating The Hollys in another nothing feud and match for them. X-Pac and Kid Kash continued to complain about the lack of respect.
Maise, Erik Angle, and Scotty Too Hotty (Hardcore, Euro, and Light champs respectfully) fought in a non-title match to determine who the better champ is. Maise won and continued his huge streak.
The Lost Boys defended against E & C and Impact Players and won again. The Lost Boys are amazingly garnering many cheers (against IP, not against E & C).
Tajiri beat D'Lo Brown in a nothing match.
Edge ended his feud with Dean Malenko by beating him in a half an hour match! It was also the match of the night.
Saturn beat Kurt Angle just to prove he could beat an Angle brother. Erik said he wasn't impressed because he used to beat Kurt all the time.
Al Snow beat Booker T. After the match he was attacked by Dean Malenko for no real reason other than he's Edge's friend. End of Edge/Malenko feud, beginning Malenko/Snow feud.
Hardly Christian fought Jeff Hardy in what was billed as a Handicap match, but eventually became one-on-one when Matt Hardy never tagged in. Christian was able to get a win over Jeff, however, because whenever Jeff tried for a pin, Matt still broke it up.
William Regal challenged for the IC title because O'Haire attacked him when Regal attacked RVD on RAW a few weeks ago. Regal nearly got the win, but O'Haire was able to pull it out in the end.
The Royal Rumble! Rhyno & Sabu represented ECW, and Palumbo & Test represented WCW. Kurt Angle came in at #3, but lasted the whole thing and won it! After Booker T and William Regal were thrown out, people basically KNEW Angle would win, but it was still a surprise he stayed in for that long. 1:40 minutes, a #2 record, just behind RVD's huge time length. Kurt Angle will fight at WrestleMania for the World title!
Chris Benoit took on RVD in the main event. One year ago, Benoit won the Rumble to get a shot at RVD at WrestleMania, but this year he's fighting in the main event for the strap. However, once again, RVD came out on top, retaining the title yet again. He will now fight in his third straight WrestleMania for the World title! Next month is an eight man tag match.
