Michael Cole and Tazz introduced the show.

(1) Team Angle beat The Guerreros at 14:41 when Benjamin tripped Chavo from ringside leading to Haas falling onto Chavo for the pin. Good match. The Guerreros stole the tag title belts after the match.

Test forced a kiss on Torrie backstage.

(2) Sean O'Haire pinned Rikishi. Rikishi seconds earlier broke a coconut over Roddy Piper's head, but then O'Haire blindsided Rikishi with his finisher for the pin.

Sable told Stacy that Torrie and Test kissed. Stacy stormed off.

(3) Kane & RVD beat The Dudleys to retain the WWE Tag Titles. Chief Morley, who appointed himself referee, low-blowed Kane late in the match. Despite that, and interference from Lance Storm, RVD hit the Frog Splash for the win. With Morley knocked out, a second ref made the count. Solid tag match.

Stacy approached Torrie in the women's locker room. Stacy attacked Torrie when she blamed Test for initiating the kiss. The rest of the women broke up the cat fight (which included an actual cat walking through the room!)

(4) Jazz pinned Trish at 5:50 to capture the WWE Women's Title with use of the ropes for leverage.

(5) Big Show pinned Rey Mysterio at 3:45. Rey was stretchered out of the ring. Show attacked Rey after he was attached to the stretcher and swung him into the ringpost while he was attached to the stretcher. Rey landed with a thud on the floor face-first.

-Torrie and Stacy got in another backstage fight. Scott Steiner tended to Stacy. Test saw it and chewed out Steiner.

(6) Brock Lesnar beat John Cena at 15:15 to retain the WWE Smackdown Title. Exactly what you'd expect from these two - an honest effort that came up short of main event quality. A long mat hold by Cena killed the crowd at 10:00. They seemed unsure of themselves during several exchanges that followed. Lesnar won clean with the F5 after the ref caught Cena with a chain.

(7) Hunter & Ric Flair & Chris Jericho beat Kevin Nash & Booker T & Shawn Michaels when Hunter pinned Nash after hitting him with the sledge hammer at 17:45. Good action.

(8) Goldberg pinned The Rock clean at 15:00 after a Jackhammer. Rock carried it with his antics while Goldberg mostly stood around and made faces. The crowd turned against Goldberg. Actually, half were against him to begin with. Interesting, but not even three stars.
