In My Ass (2021)

In My Ass 2021 was the tenth edition of the In My Ass event, held on January 22, 2021. The show was highlighted by Edge and Christian taking on The Dudley Boyz in a TLC match, J-Pac challenging Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship, and "Macho Man" Randy Savage putting the United States Championship on the line against Jay Lethal.

==Background==
After defeating two of the most dominant gladiators to ever step into the squared circle, Batista has been hailed as the King of the Monsters. Also at the Fest, J-Pac finally rid himself of the tyranny of Commissioner JBL. As J-Pac never received a one-on-one rematch for the World Championship since being cheated out of it, the two were put on a collision course for the gold by interim commissioner Kane. J-Pac reminded Batista of their history, how the two aligned themselves together upon The Animal's initial arrival. But Batista was quick to interject that back then, J-Pac was the man to beat and now that person is him.
The holidays are a time where most gather around the table with their family, but things are done a bit differently in the Dudley household. Bubba Ray and D-Von would join forces once again on the evening of the Fest, the same event that saw a reunion between the duo of Edge and Christian. When the two decorated tag teams came face to face, the Dudleys made it clear that the door to their house was always open. Edge and Christian would respond by introducing new furniture into the house of the Dudleys: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs.
But the Dudleys aren't the only family on the roster who take up for their own. DEFAULT has recently been the subject of torment from the wicked Sevendust, and Winslow J. Wiley has his impaired sights set on fending off the self-appointed right hand of unholy justice. Sevendust has ominously stated that DEFAULT must be willing to sacrifice his own blood to atone for his sins against him, but he'll have to get through Winslow first.
With a change of season has come a change in the landscape of the SvR06 roster. New faces have begun to make their presence felt, including the tribal hunter known as Buki. The painted predator has chosen Tajiri as his newest prey and looks to collect the Intercontinental Title as his trophy. Another new injection to the locker room has been Jay Lethal. With credentials that speak for themselves, Lethal quickly established a relationship with his idol "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Lethal had no shortage of praise for Savage, stating on numerous occasions that he grew up wanting to be the Macho Man. However, he would eventually add that he felt he's reached the point that he's a better Macho Man than the genuine article. With such a bold statement, Lethal now looks to make it his mission to lead a new generation with himself at the wheel and he plans on starting with Savage's United States Championship.
In My Ass will also see the return of the King of the Ring tournament. Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio would qualify for this royal opportunity by defeating Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin, while Cesaro and Rene Dupree's Very European Union bested the combination of Count Out and The Big O known as Thick & Thin to earn their spot. Both tandems have forward momentum as they move into the tournament, but it will be every man for themselves in this battle for the crown.
