WWF President Jack Tunney announces that Lex Luger will be allowed to take part in the Royal Rumble Match, and that he will be joined by two other entries representing Mr. Fuji: Tenryu and The Great Kabuki. All 30 participants have now been added into the match, and the winner will face the WWF Champion at WrestleMania 10.
Yokozuna beats Scott Taylor and Bert Centeno in a 2-on-1 handicap match. As the match begings, we see pre-recorded comments from Mr. Fuji, who says that WWF President Jack Tunney gave permission to enter the Royal Rumble Match, and for that, he has hired two great wrestlers from Japan to assure that Luger will not survive it. After the match, the lights go out, and Paul Bearer, The Undertaker and the coffin that The Undertaker is working on shows up on the video screen. Paul Bearer says he has read the fine print in the contract, and tells Yokozuna, Jim Cornette and Mr. Fuji forgot to read his and that they made a big mistake in unwittingly putting Yokozuna in a Casket Match that Bearer now reveals as a one time only match. The Undertaker says it will take him only one time, and that Yokozuna and his entourage have made a big mistake. He, on the other hand, does not make mistakes; he buries them. Yokozuna is spooked.
"Double J" Jeff Jarrett beats Rich Myers. During the match, we see pre-recorded comments from Jarrett, who says that WWF President Jack Tunney and 29 other wrestlers will find out he is the best there is at the Royal Rumble Match. After the match, Jarrett hits Rich Myers with a kick to the gut followed by a running jumping DDT.
Shawn Michaels is on the cover of the newest issue of WWF Magazine, available worldwide this Tuesday. Meanwhile, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett gets an article concerning his activities in Nashville, Tennessee.
Jim Ross advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th with a triple main event. Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka, Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and there will also be a 30-man New York City Rumble. We hear from Crush, who says that he wants to win the Rumble for himself and Mr. Fuji while proving to the world that he is the most awesome force in the WWF when he goes into the ring like a tornado in a trailer park to toss everyone out of it. He only fears one thing: "Macho Man" Randy Savage not showing up. If Savage does show up, however, his screaming fans will see his worst nightmare come true. We also hear from Savage, who says that he has never been more ready for the New York City Rumble, and says everyone around the world dreams of wrestling in Madison Square Garden. He has an underlying current in the form of Crush, and he plans on winning the New York City Rumble because Madison Square Garden is very important to him. He knows Crush is focused on hurting him, but he might just nail Crush if he tries.
Chris McKenna is the honorary ring announcer for the next match.
Bret "Hit Man" Hart beats Mike Bell with the Sharpshooter. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bret and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Owen says he cannot express how happy he is to team up with Bret for the tag team titles at Royal Rumble, and he wants this title shot to be the best one yet. Bret says it will be a big day for them, and The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) are going down hard when they become the new tag champs.
Rene Rougeau interviews The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) and Johnny Polo. Polo says he hates Luger, calling him a yellow-bellied coward and says he put a piece of metal in his arm to be like the Bionic Man before knocking him and The Quebecers out with the running forearm smash. He hopes that Lex Luger ends up all alone in the ring during the Royal Rumble with ten of their friends, as he will find out he is not as much of a knock-out than he thinks he is. Pierre says something in French, then Jacques says there is no one in the WWF who is as close as they are. He also says that brothers are not always close, and that brothers don't always get along. Polo says that to prove what kind of champions they are, they will defend the tag titles on Raw next week against Marty Jannetty and The 1-2-3 Kid, whom he says are much worthier opponents than Bret "Hit Man" Hart and "The Rocket" Owen Hart. Jacques says they will prove they are fighting champions, not closet champions, and at Royal Rumble, they will show what brotherly love is all about.
Tatanka tells us not to drink and drive.
Razor Ramon beats Chris Duffy. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Irwin R. Schyster, who tells Razor Ramon that he has gone out of his way to embarrass him on national television more than once, and has accused him of stealing the gold around his neck. If he were Razor Ramon, he would be more focused on the gold around his waist, because at Royal Rumble, it will be his.
We see a video package for Kwang, who breaks two wooden boards with his fists.
On the Royal Rumble Report, it is made official that Lex Luger, Tenryu and The Great Kabuki have officially added to the Royal Rumble Match, officially bringing the official amount of participants in the match to 30. We then hear from Lex Luger, who cannot say how excited he is to be in the Royal Rumble Match. He thanks WWF President Jack Tunney for rendering the decision as well as the fans for their loyalty and support, which made it all possible. As for Mr. Fuji's "great compromise," he is more focused on the match as there are no friends and only foes. He plans to thank the fans by winning the Royal Rumble. We also hear from Ludvig Borga, who says there is nothing better for him than the Royal Rumble. He gives no mercy, and he does not want it, either. He will not give any mercy to Tatanka, and once he is done with him, he will be out. We then hear from Tatanka, who says talk is cheap and that Ludvig Borga speaks with a forked tongue. He says that Ludvig Borga found out what kind of savage he created when he injured him, and that he will find out what he really made at Royal Rumble, as he will not make it to the Royal Rumble Match.
Doink is on this month's calendar on WWF Magazine.
Bam Bam Bigelow beats Brian Walsh. During the match, we hear pre-recorded comments from Bam Bam Bigelow, who says he will be in the Royal Rumble Match. After the match, Doink shows up, and referee Tim White has to keep Bam Bam Bigelow and Luna Vachon away from Doink. As Bam Bam Bigelow gets closer to Doink, Dink sneaks up on Bam Bam. Doink fakes throwing a bucket of water at Bam Bam, who trips over Dink. Doink then empties the bucket on the floor, revealing that there were marbles inside. Bam Bam and Luna slide on the marbles as they go after Doink and Dink.
Jim Ross re-advertises a show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th. Rick Steiner will take on Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Mr. Fuji and Jim Cornette. Cornette tells Tatanka that on January 17th, he can conjure all the spirits and power of all the Native Americans and have every fan in Madison Square Garden cheering for him, and he can remember all the pain, agony, suffering and embarrassment that he suffered at the hands of Yokozuna, but he might as well ball all that up and throw it over his shoulder and into the trash, because when Yokozuna hits him with the Banzai Drop, he will be stretchered out of the building. We also hear from Tatanka, who says the fans have never seen him so intense. He resembles America to the fullest, being the first American, as he says everyone knows Yokozuna did to him. He has not forgotten what he did to him, his family and his fans. He tells Yokozuna to prepare for war on the battlefield, for he will inflict pain on him and take the WWF Championship away.
Next week: the unveiling of The Undertaker's double-wide, double-deep casket as well as The Undertaker in action! Tatanka! Lex Luger vs. Bastion Booger!

Come As You Are (WWF Superstar) - Superstars recap for December 18, 1993
Bam Bam Bigelow beats P.J. Walker. During the match, we hear pre-recorded from Bam Bam, who wants not only Doink's head on a silver platter, but also a big blazing fireplace with peace and quiet for him and Luna Vachon.
We see Vince McMahon interview Bret "Hit Man" Hart in footage from earlier this week. Bret says his brother "The Rocket" Owen Hart is mixed up right now, and that a match between them would tear up the entire family. He does not know where Owen gets the impression that he was always favored while Owen was pushed off to the side. He admits that Owen won as many accomplishments as he did, but he never felt they needed to be compared to each other. He also does not buy the belief that Owen has lived in his shadow, even if he started off, got famous and accomplished things before Owen did. He is proud of what he has done in the WWF, as is his family, and so should Owen, who has hurdles to jump and goals to reach of his own as he has a whole career ahead of him. As for the post-match celebration at Survivor Series, he says Owen was aware he could join them, and is shocked by Owen saying he felt left out of it. When asked if he has ever been selfish, Bret believes he has never been selfish and has always tried to be the best big brother he could be to Owen, and if Owen feels he is jealous, he would rather talk about it. As for Owen's challenge to a one-on-one match to prove who the better brother is, Bret says he has never backed away from anybody or turned down a challenge, but there are no circumstances where he would want to step into the ring with his brother Owen, and says he will not do it as he does not want this to go any further than it already has.
The 1-2-3 Kid beats Duane Gill. During the match, it is announced that there is a Superstar interview with The 1-2-3 Kid in this month's issue of WWF Magazine.

Also, Razor Ramon will defend the WWF Intercontinental Championship against "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, and Yokozuna will defend the WWF Championship against Tatanka. We then hear from Razor Ramon for Face To Face. He tells Jeff Jarrett that the Garden is like his second home, and in his schedule defending the title, he spends more time in New York than in Miami. He says that this is Jarrett's first time in the Garden, where he is undefeated. We then hear from Jarrett, who says the New York fans stink. He says they may be called "enthusiastic," but to him they are "loudmouthed foreigners." He says Razor Ramon reminds him of the loudmouth New York fans, and the Intercontinental Championship will soon be his.
Ludvig Borga vs. Tatanka: next week on Raw!
Before the next match, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett says his debut on Superstars is what everyone has been waiting for, and tells everyone not to forget his name.

It is also announced that Lex Luger is denied entry in the Royal Rumble Match due to the clause in the SummerSlam contract where if Lex Luger did not win the title, he would not get another chance at Yokozuna for the WWF Championship. It is announced than an opinion poll over whether or not to let Luger into the Rumble is now open, and there will be more details this weekend on All-American Wrestling.

Rick wants a million dollars and a fishing pole, but more importantly, the WWF Tag Team Championships. Scott hopes The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) have a rotten Christmas.
Jim Ross re-advertises the show at Madison Square Garden on January 17th. Rick Steiner faces Ludvig Borga. We then hear from Tatanka, who says he is physically ready because when he got injured and felt all the pain he had inside, he went back to his homeland where he could gain the wisdom from his elders and sit down with a medicine man who could help him heal faster. He has trained six days a week, two-and-a-half hours a day for his return, so he is definitely ready for Yokozuna, who has created an animal. He has realized that Yokozuna brought something out when he put him in all that pain, and he will soon feel that pain himself. We then hear from Jim Cornette (accompanied by Mr. Fuji and Yokozuna), who does not care about Tatanka's revege and says that Tatanka has no chance at the WWF Championship. He says that Yokozuna and the WWF Championship,

It is also announced that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan will face Bam Bam Bigelow in the tournament, and that Tatanka and "The Narcissist" Lex Luger will also meet in the first round. This week on Wrestling Challenge, Kamala meets Mr. Hughes in a qualifier, while Mr. Perfect and Doink will have a rematch for a slot for the second time on Raw. Doink says Mr. Perfect likes to run away from him some reason, but this time, there must be a winner.

In a public service message from the World Wrestling Federation, we hear a poem from 4th grader Jasmine McNeill of P.S. 384 in Brunswick, New York, who says that there is no hope with dope. The Undertaker suddenly pops up after the poem is over, saying "There's no hope with dope."

"Mean" Gene Okerlund advertises a show at the Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey tonight - with $2 off for kids 12 and under - where The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will face The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu), Tatanka will face Razor Ramon, "Macho Man" Randy Savage will face Giant Gonzales, and The Mega Maniacs (Hulk Hogan and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake) face Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) with the WWF Tag Team Championships on the line and Sgt. Slaughter as special guest referee. We see an interview with The Mega Maniacs from Okerlund, where Hulk Hogan brags about winning the WWF Championship and saying the tag titles are next. He says that the titanium steel mask built for Brutus kept him from being the weak link in the team like Money Inc. anticipated, and punches at it only to hurt his hand. Brutus tells Hogan not to hurt himself, as he and Jimmy Hart need him to win the big one. Hogan says they will rock and roll throughout the night, and that the tag team titles are theirs. Okerlund interviews Crush, who will face Doink that night, for Face To Face. He says that at the Meadowlands, the fans like to get as crazy as he does, and tells Doink to bring his clone to the ring tonight.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 12, 1993
Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) have paid The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Luke Beverly) some money backstage to take care of - and give advice on how to take on - The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner).
Scott Steiner beats Irwin R. Schyster by disqualification after interference by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. Brother Rick helps Scott fight DiBiase and IRS, but The Beverly Brothers show up and almost gang up on the Steiners until Scott is able to trick them into attacking DiBiase. When DiBiase gets angry with them, The Beverly Brothers turn on Money Inc. (DiBiase and IRS).
Tatanka beats Von Krus. During the match, Doink the Clown shows up and squirts water at everyone with his umbrella.
Hulk Hogan is officially WWF Champion as per a ruling by Jack Tunney.
Rob Bartlett interviews Luna Vachon in her first Raw appearance. She calls herself "the true woman of the '90s," and calls Sensational Sherri a "witch." She says the only thing strong about Sensational Sherri is her breath, and implies she's everything that Sherri is not. Bartlett then tells Luna that Sherri is here...and Sherri immediately shows up. She calls Luna "a disgrace to the World Wrestling Federation" and kicks Luna in the head starting a fight. Rob Bartlett tries to break it up only to get smacked around himself. The brawl spills into the stands, and clothes even get ripped off in the process. Sgt. Slaughter has to carry Luna away as the brawl is broken up.
After the break, Luna Vachon shows up and attacks Sensational Sherri yet again. Not surprisingly, this starts yet another brawl. Sgt. Slaughter has to carry Luna off yet again. Sherri tells Luna that if she wants a piece of her, she's got it.
Papa Shango beats Scott Taylor (who is erroneously named "Skip Taylor" by announcer Howard Finkel). A beaten-up Rob Bartlett returns to ringside with his clothes torn up (assumedly by Luna Vachon) during the match.
Friar Ferguson beats Chris Duffy in what proves to be the former's only match in the World Wrestling Federation.
The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Luke Beverly) attack Money Inc. ("The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster) from behind as they accept the Beverly Brothers' challenge for the WWF Tag Team Championships.
Scott Steiner beats Irwin R. Schyster by disqualification after interference by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase. Brother Rick helps Scott fight DiBiase and IRS, but The Beverly Brothers show up and almost gang up on the Steiners until Scott is able to trick them into attacking DiBiase. When DiBiase gets angry with them, The Beverly Brothers turn on Money Inc. (DiBiase and IRS).
