The commentary switches up.
Intercontinental Title: Rob Van Dam vs. Brock Lesnar
Post match Heyman breaks up the Van Terminator, allowing Lesnar to F5 Van Dam onto a chair.
Big Show vs. Booker T.
Torrie Wilson and Dawn Marie argue over who is winning the main event.
Booker is glad HHH is coming to Raw. Are we really having a post announcement reaction show?
Tag Team Titles: Hulk Hogan/Edge vs. Un-Americans
Lance Storm and Christian are challenging here with no Test in sight. During the entrances, JR outdoes himself by saying Wrestlemania III was 15 years ago and saw Hogan face Ultimate Warrior. He then corrects himself by saying it was Wrestlemania VI because Wrestlemania III was here in Chicago.
The tag brings in Edge for a series of clotheslines and the ref gets bumped. Cue Test for the big boot to Edge, giving Storm two. They actually had me on that one for a second. Rikishi waddles down to deal with Test, allowing Jericho to come in and hit Edge with a belt for the pin and the titles.
The announcers recap the show.
We recap the World Title match. Rock tried to cost Undertaker the title at King of the Ring so Undertaker wanted to fight him. Then Undertaker vs. Angle went to a draw so Angle was added to this match.
Undisputed Title: Kurt Angle vs. The Rock vs. Undertaker
