RAW this week starts with a video of HBK from Armageddon where he basically agreed to work for JBL. The video continued to last week’s Fatal Four Way Match where HBK fought hard but then had to face off with JBL. HBK was torn on what to do and finally could not lay down for JBL to pin him. HBK had to be knocked down for the cover. After the match he sat in the ring forlorn.

Orton and Jericho are in the ring posed for the fans to boo. Jericho says they’re there to face the atrocity of last week. But from watching that footage HBK was working in collusion with JBL and they will not stand for it. He and Orton have filed a formal grievance. Orton says JBL should be removed from his Championship Match and HBK should not be able to compete for the title again. He and Jericho have agree to face each other and the winner will face Cena. Jericho says that he and Orton fought a fair match last week while JBL and HBK were underhanded. JBL’s music but HBK comes out of the limo! The door stays open and JBL slowly climbs out after him. They both make their way to the ring. HBK gets in the ring, JBL slowly follows. HBK’s head is hung low. “HBK” chants. JBL says they can protest all they want but JBL won the match and JBL will face Cena at the RR. He tells them they have the audacity to case aspersions at him? They’d have done the same thing with the resources. Jericho says they don’t fight like that. Jericho then turns on HBK and says that Jericho was right all that time that he said HBK was a sell out. HBK says the only thing that lets him sleep at night was knowing that neither Jericho or Orton will fight for the title. Orton says HBK took a turn for the worst. He says Flair’s career was ended by a weak, pathetic sell out. Once their plea is heard the decision will be overturned – tonight. Steph comes out in a long black shirt and a tiny dark denim mini! She looks great! Steph said that HBK did not lay down. HBK took the clothesline from hell and was pinned. The ref’s decision stands. It’s her show and they can complain all they want. But they’re both in the Royal Rumble Match. Jericho says HBK shouldn’t be in the Royal Rumble Match for he will poison it the way he poisoned the Fatal Four Way. Steph starts to say it’s not up to Jericho. JBL steps in and says HBK’s only function at the RR will be to be in JBL’s corner. Steph says that three weeks from now and she wants to talk about tonight. The easy thing to do would be a tag match between JBL and HBK versus Orton and Jericho. But to see HBK’s integrity it’s going to be Orton and Jericho versus HBK and Cena.
