A narrated opening video talks about Brock Lesnar making his return to the ring tonight. Another voice talks about the wedding, which really does seem to be the bigger deal.
Opening sequence, which includes several shots of Stephanie.
Here are John Cena and Bull Buchanan to rap about Rikishi being fat.
John Cena vs. Rikishi
Rikishi beats them up post match.
Chuck Palumbo vs. Bill DeMott
Undertaker is coming back at the Royal Rumble. Every clip of him in this video is the Deadman version.
Eddie Guerrero vs. Billy Kidman
Video on Brock Lesnar.
Chris Benoit/??? vs. Team Angle
Benoit can pick any partner he wants and one of the big drawing points of this show has been the return of Brock Lesnar. We also saw a video on Lesnar and Brock has issues with Angle. Therefore, the partner is Edge. Not a bad choice but not exactly where the signs were pointing.
The half nelson faceplant drops Shelton and the hot tag brings in Benoit to clean house. The suplexes are unleashed and Benoit nails the Swan Dive to Shelton for two. Everything breaks down with Team Angle taking stereo rolling German suplexes until Angle pulls Edge outside. Benoit Crossfaces Shelton, drawing Angle in for the DQ.
Angle beats up Tony Chimmel until he announces Team Angle as the winners.
Crash vs. Nunzio
Matt gives Shannon a pep talk.
Matt Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar
Show comes out for the staredown, earning Matt another F5 to end the show.
