Opening sequence.
Matt Hardy vs. Rikishi
Cruiserweight Title: Jamie Noble vs. Tajiri
Eddie and Chavo have a standoff with Angle and tell him that Benoit had some plans for him after the tournament was over. Naturally Angle believes him and tensions continue to heighten.
Edge/Rey Mysterio vs. Eddie Guerrero/Chavo Guerrero
Undertaker is looking for Lesnar. Why would that feud continue?
Video on the Cell, narrated by Paul Heyman, about how Lesnar owns him now.
John Cena vs. Billy Kidman
Rematch from last week when Cena cheated to win. A dropkick puts Cena on the floor to start but a drive into the barricade has Kidman in trouble. Back in and a spinebuster gives Cena two but Kidman hits some more dropkicks. A middle rope back elbow to the jaw drops Cena and a hurricanrana (with a handful of rope) puts John away. So to recap we have two cheaters with .500 record in recent weeks. The WWE formula in a nutshell.
Kurt Angle vs. Chris Benoit
