Kurt Angle vs. Chris Jericho
King Kurt Angle comes down to the ring and he works the crowd for a few minutes. He says he apologizes to The Undertaker, and Kane because he costed them the WWF Tag Team Titles against Edge and Christian. He says he was only trying to help his friends, and he knows Undertaker will forgive him. Chris Jericho then comes down and says he has some apologies to make also....he would like to apologize to all the Jerichoholics for having to listen to Kurt Angle, and he says sorry to Stephanie McMahon, but he takes it back. He also says sorry to Triple H for putting him through a table. Just as the match is ready to begin, Stephanie comes down the ramp, and Jericho nails Kurt to begin the match. Match quickly moves outside, and Kurt Angle takes control. He nails Jericho with a clothesline. Both men begin to battle back and forth, and Jericho takes control after a Flying Clothesline. When Jericho looks to take full control of the match, Stephanie jumps on the apron. While Jericho and the ref. are distracted, Angle grabs the Royal Septor. He swings at Jericho, but Jericho evades it and goes for the Walls of Jericho. Stephanie then gives him a low blow when the referee is not looking, and Angle nails the Olympic Slam for the victory. Winner - Kurt Angle


Mick Foley Segment
When Smackdown returns, Chris Benoit and Mick Foley comes into the ring. They begin a long conversation that results in Benoit saying we don't see any compasion because he doesn't have any. He asks Mick for a chance to go against The Rock tonight. He asks Benoit if he wants The Rock, but before either man can answer, Edge and Christian come down and speak to Benoit. They praise Benoit, and remind him that he is a fellow Canadian. They talk a lot about Canada, and how they do things there. Mick reminds them that they aren't in Canada, and then he makes Rock, Eddie Guerrero, and Chyna vs. Edge, Christian, and Chris Benoit.

- Backstage, Stephanie McMahon is waiting for Triple H to arrive in the arena.

- Backstage, Stephanie McMahon is still waiting for Triple H. She asks him where he has been, and he says not to worry about it. She tells Triple H how she got involved in Jericho and Angle's match, and he was not pleased. He seems to think there is something going on with Steph and Kurt, and he seems worried about it.

The Dudley Boys vs. D-Lo Brown and Chaz
- The match begins, and The Dudleys take control. Buh Buh is dominating D-Lo. Just then, D-Lo tags in Chaz, and he grabs his shin, and the referee tells D-Von to back off. D-Lo attacks him from behind, and his team has control once again. D-Lo misses the Low Down, and Buh Buh is tagged back in. He nails D-Lo with a Sitting Powerbomb, and D-Von flies off the top and nails D-Lo with a Headbutt to the Groin. The Dudleys go out and get a table, but Stephan Richards puts it away. Buh Buh and D-Von set D-Lo up for a Powerbomb through the table, but they see it is not there. Buh Buh goes outside of the ring, and D-Lo and Chaz attack D-Von. Buh Buh beats on D-Lo, and runs back in the ring to give a 3D to Chaz for the victory. Winners - The Dudleys Boys


- After the match, Stephan Richards says that we do not know what is good for us, that is why he censors things.

- Before the match, Triple H gets in Mick Foley's office and threatens him. He says if he doesn't give him Jericho, they will fight. Foley then goes on a rampage, and tells him each punch will cost him $5000. Triple H tells Steph to get his wallet, and Foley blacks out. He tells Triple H off and puts him in a Handicap Match tonight.

Jacqueline and Ivory vs. Dean Malenko
- Match begins and Malenko shows no mercy for the women. They gain control after a while, but only for a minute or two. Malenko fights back both women, and has Jacqueline in the corner. He goes to Suplex Ivory from the Apron, but Crash Holly comes down and holds his legs and lets the women cover him, and defeat him. Winners - Jacqueline and Ivory


Rikishi Phatu vs. Val Venis (Intercontinental Title)
Match begins and Rikishi dominates Val. He takes control with a Samoan Drop, and he just beats the crap out of him, plain and simple. The referee goes down after a while, and Trish signals to Test and Albert to come down to the ring. Test and Albert come down, and all 3 men beat on Rikishi. Rikishi tries his hardest to fight back, but in the end, 3 men is just too much for 1 man to handle. Test nails Rikishi with the Elbow Drop, and after the referee gets up about 800 years later, he makes the count, but Rikishi throws Val on the referee, and he is down again. Rikishi gives him a Bonzai Drop, and the referee is still down. Just then, Tazz comes down and smashes Rikishi with a TV Camera. Rikishi is laid out, and Val nails the Money Shot. The referee just happens to get up right after all this happens, and he makes the count, 1--2--3. New IC Champion. Winner - Val Venis


- After the match, T&A is celebrating with Trish and Val Venis. Trish is wearing a Wet T-Shirt!

Steve Blackman vs. Big Bossman (Hardcore Title)
Match begins, and this is a Hardcore Match. Both men get their weapons, and they battle. They go outside of the ring, and battle. They go over to the baracade wall, and Al Snow attacks Bossman. Blackman takes control of the match, and he wins it. Winner - Steve Blackman


Kane and The Undertaker vs. Test and Albert
Kane gives Albert some right hands, and then he whips him to the corner, and follows it up with a clothesline as the Undertaker and Test fight on the outside of the ring. Kane gives Albert a back suplex, and then the Undertaker gets in the ring and the two whip Albert off the ropes, and they give him a double big boot. Kane grabs Albert by the throat and he gives him a choke slam, followed by a pin to get the win. The Undertaker gives Test a power bomb after the contest is over! Kane grabs Trish Stratus by the hair and he pulls her into the ring and he goes for a choke slam, but Val Venis comes out with the Intercontinental Championship and he makes the save for Trish Stratus. T&A, Val Venis and Trish Stratus leave the ring together. Winners - Kane and Undertaker


Kai en Tai and The Brooklyn Brawler vs. Triple H
This match begins and it sure looks like a joke. In the beginning, all 3 men use their numbers to take advantage. They attack Triple H at the same time, and he takes them down, 1 by 1. Foonaki is the first to be eliminated, after a Knee Drop. Right after that, Taka is eliminated after a Pedigree. Brooklyn Brawler looks like he is ready to get eliminated also, but Jericho runs down and causes Triple H to lose. Winner - Brooklyn Brawler


- After the match, Triple H beat on all 3 men, and Jericho lied to his Limo Driver and they left Triple H in the arena.

Eddy Guerrero, Chyna, The Rock vs. Edge, Christian, and Benoit
Other than Eddie missing a top-rope highspot, this was very solid. Chyna was never in until the finish and Benoit and Rock never locked up. Rock was about to drop the people's elbow on Christian when he tagged in Chyna, who scored the pinfall with a power bomb (Edge may have been pinned, but I couldn't see from my seats). Shane McMahon ran in from the back and tagged Rock, leading to both taking a powder. That freed Benoit to once again put Chyna in the crippler crossface. Rock returned to the ring, but Benoit took a powder. After the cameras stopped rolling, Benoit came back to the ring and was given a people's elbow. Rock left and returned once more and gave Benoit a rock bottom to end the show. Winners - The Rock, Chyna, and Eddie Guerrero
