Earlier tonight, Albert confirmed that he was with Scotty for the Tag Team Title match.
Tag Team Titles: Billy and Chuck vs. Scotty 2 Hotty/Albert
Post match, as expected, Albert beats the heck out of Scotty and says he put up with the dancing for six months.
Vince grabs Hogan the title shot.
Diamond Dallas Page vs. Christian
Page monkey flips him to start as the announcers are already talking about Backlash. Christian gets in an elbow to the face and grabs a chinlock so this is probably going to be a short match. The reverse DDT gets two and Christian throws a fit, only to sucker Page in for the Unprettier and the pin.
Edge vs. Kurt Angle
Edge fights Angle off.
Billy Kidman wishes luck to his ex-Torrie Wilson and her boyfriend Tajiri in their match later. Tajiri comes up and rants in Japanese. Just do the heel turn/split.
Cruiserweight Title: Kidman vs. Tajiri
Tajiri berates Torrie and leaves.
Al Snow gives Maven a pep talk by saying he would have had to get mugged to get the kind of beating Hardcore Holly is going to give him.
Hardcore Holly vs. Maven
We look at Rock challenging Jericho earlier in the night.
The Rock vs. Chris Jericho
