  SINGLES MATCH
  Chris Jericho defeated Jeff Hardy by Submission: With Shawn Michaels banned from ringside, this promised to be a thrilling match-up. Chris Jericho won with the Walls of Jericho, exactly how he won on RAW two weeks ago. Shawn Michaels ran in after the match and Christian ran down as well with HBK getting the last word.
  BACKSTAGE SEGMENT: Kurt Angle was hanging out with Team Angle (Shelton Benjamin & Charlie Haas).. Kurt Angle said that Canada was full of bitter and jealous people who have no Olympic Heros of their own. Angle said the crowd might say Team Angle sucks, but told Haas & Benjamin not to listen to them.
  PARKING LOT SEGMENT: Evolution (Triple H, Ric Flair, Batista & Randy Orton) arrive in an icey looking limousine..
  WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
  William Regal & Lance Storm defeated Kane & Rob Van Dam to retain the World Tag Team titles: Lance Storm messed up Kane’s mask, and Kane ended up choke-slamming RVD by mistake! William Regal then got the pinfall on RVD to retain the titles. RVD walked out on Kane after the match..
  WWE CRUISERWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
  Matt Hardy defeated Billy Kidman to win the WWE Cruiserweight title!: Matt Hardy pins Billy Kidman after the twist of fate to win the WWE Cruiserweight title!
  BACKSTAGE SEGMENT: Edge was found laid out backstage with no explaination of what happened to him.. Chris Benoit, Brock Lesnar, and Stephanie McMahon searched for answers..
  GRUDGE MATCH
  The Undertaker defeated The Big Show by Submission: A-Train ran down and interfered and the Undertaker ended up busted open and bleeding. The Big Show hit the choke-slam on Undertaker, and went for the cover. Undertaker reversed it and locked a triagle choke on the Big Show for the win!
  BACKSTAGE SEGMENT: Vince McMahon said that if anyone interfered in the Steve Austin vs. Eric Bischoff match, they’ll be fired!
  HANDICAP MATCH
  Brock Lesnar & Chris Benoit defeated Kurt Angle & Team Angle (Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin): Chris Benoit used the crossface on Charlie Haas while Lesnar F5’d Kurt Angle for the win.. Benoit & Lesnar win the match..
  WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
  Triple H defeated Scott Steiner to retain the World Heavyweight title: Another horrible match (what a shocker) with crowd hating Scott Steiner and referee Earl Hebner. Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista interfered throughout the match. The crowd booed all of Scott Steiner’s offense as well as when kicked out of near falls. The crowd chanted “You Screwed Bret” at referee Earl Hebner. The only person involved that was cheered by the crowd was Ric Flair. Earl Hebner ejected the Evolution members and Triple H nailed Scott Steiner with the belt! Triple H won after a Pedigree to retain the World Heavyweight title *yawn*..
  AN ASS WHOOPIN’ MATCH
  Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff: Jim Ross came out and joined the announce team for this match only. The RAW roster was shown backstage gathered around a monitor watching the boss get beat up. Steve Austin squashed Eric Bischoff after three Stone Cold Stunners.. Jim Ross went bonkers for Steve Austin during his celebration, which by the way, did not include beer. Steve Austin finished Eric Bischoff with one more stunner before leaving the ring..
  MAIN EVENT
  The Rock defeated Hulk Hogan: Hulk Hogan hit the leg drop and had the match won but the lights suddenly went out. When the lights came back, referee Sylvain Grenier (a developmental wrestler) appeared to be knocked out. Vince McMahon came down to ringside and hollered at Hulk Hogan. The referee secretly slid a chair to the Rock and he whacked Hulk Hogan with it! The referee conveniently woke up just as Rock hit the Rock Bottom for the win! The Rock left with the referee while Vince McMahon beat on the Hulkster repeatedly..
