Stamford Bridge: A Pro Wrestling TL

This is my first timeline, im going with 2000s WWF/E and plan to continue writing well into the 2010s, the point of divergence in the Royal Rumble 2001, WCW will still fold however the WWF does not buy out all of the contracts allowing some of the lower-end talent to go to the indies.

The Royal Rumble PPV was a great success for the WWF, seeing the return of Hulk Hogan after being released by WCW last year, He shockingly helped Triple H defeat Kurt Angle to win the WWF Championship cementing himself as a heel to start his new run in the WWF, we also saw The Rock win the Royal Rumble who will challenge new WWF Champion Triple H at WrestleMania X-Seven assuming Triple H is still the champion by then.

after The Big Show won the WWF European Championship he cut a promo on RAW proclaiming that the European Championship wasnt enough, he proceeded to challenge Chris Benoit to a Title Unification match at WrestleMania which Benoit accepted

Stone Cold, having accepted defeat by The Rock, shook his hand after the match, this led him to issue an open challenge for WrestleMania that was immediately answered by Hulk Hogan, Hulk Hogan said that he returned to the WWF not only to insure that Triple H would remain WWF Champion, he returned to teach rebellious idiots like Stone Cold a lesson, Stone Cold agreed to the match followed by a stunner on Hogan, a dream match was forged

The Rock having defeated Stone Cold reaffirmed his right to face Triple H for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania X-Seven confronted the Champion the next night on RAW, Triple H said the fans don't understand why he is worthy of the championship and said he will crush false heroes like The Rock, the coming weeks on RAW were constant brawls between The Rock and Triple H ensuring a heated match at WrestleMania
