    • At Paul Heyman's command, Lesnar downed DDP with a number of power moves.
    • Lesnar and Heyman celebrated after the demolition.

  2. IN THE RING: Kurt Angle + Vince McMahon + Triple H + Ric Flair.
    • Kurt headed to the ring to a chorus of "You suck!," not in a good mood.
    • Kurt said that considering he had risked his life wrestling in the Olympics with a broken neck, the least the crowd could do was show him a little appreciation.
    • He then told the crowd, "You know what? You suck too!"
    • He said the fans were almost as pathetic as what happened on RAW, when Stephanie McMahon was forced out of the Federation by her soon-to-be ex-husband, Triple H.
    • The crowd cheered for the statement, as Kurt told them to have a little compassion.
    • Angle said that Stephanie was like a blossoming flower who brought joy and happiness to millions of people every day.
    • He said he wouldn't let her leaving go unrecognized, so he wanted to take a moment of silence so they could remember all the wonderful memories Stephanie had provided them.
    • Kurt had them turn down the lights in the arena, and put a picture of Stephanie on the TitanTron.
    • He asked for the moment of silence to begin, but instead of being silent, the crowd booed mercilessly!
    • Kurt called the people heartless, and told Stephanie that if she was watching, she shouldn't listen to the people!
    • Angle said the fans should show Stephanie respect, or he would beat the respect out of them!
    • Kurt then headed to the outside of the ring towards the fans -- until suddenly, out came Vince McMahon (SmackDown!).
    • Mr. McMahon strutted to the ring and said that when you desecrated his daughter's name, you were desecrating his name.
    • He said his name was worth more than all the fans' name combined.
    • Mr. McMahon said the whole fiasco wouldn't have happened if not for Triple H.
    • Vince said The Game had drugged and married Stephanie, only to publicly embarrass her and beat her up.
    • Mr. McMahon called Triple H a real son of a bitch.
    • Vince admitted that Stephanie wasn't always a perfect daughter, but she was as close to perfect as daughters came.
    • He said that he blamed Triple H for every rotten act Stephanie had ever committed.
    • Vince said he was happy The Game was Federation Champion, because now, he would be on both RAW and SmackDown! -- and he planned on making The Game's life a living hell on SmackDown!
    • Suddenly, out came the Undisputed Champion, Triple H, to a huge ovation!
    • The Game questioned Vince saying that he was a bad influence and selfish and a son of a bitch.
    • Triple H said that Vince ain't seen nothing yet!
    • The Game said that if Vince screwed with him, he would make Vince's life a living hell.
    • Triple H said that since Vince missed Stephanie so much, The Game suggested that Kurt was right, and they should honor her.
    • Triple H said they would honor Stephanie's last few moments in the Federation, and he then showed the footage from Monday's RAW, of him pinning her and sending her packing!
    • Kurt was irate at seeing the footage, and told Vince he wanted a match with Triple H tonight on SmackDown!
    • He begged Vince for a match, and Vince said he would be happy to under normal circumstances, but he wanted a piece of The Game as well!
    • Triple H said he would be happy to take on either man!
    • Vince said it would be The Game against Angle and Mr. McMahon in a Handicap Match on SmackDown!
    • The sounds of "Woo!" filled the arena, and Ric Flair (RAW) came out to the stage and stood side-by-side with Triple H.
    • Flair asked if he'd heard Vince making the rules again.
    • Flair said he was still 50-percent owner whether Vince liked it or not.
    • He said it wouldn't be a Handicap Match -- Triple H would have a partner, and it would be Ric Flair, appearing on his last episode of SmackDown!
    • The Nature Boy asked The Game to take care of Angle so Flair could have Vince all to himself!

  3. BACKSTAGE: Dudley Boyz.
    • Bubba Ray Dudley (RAW) and D-Von Dudley (SmackDown!) talked about how their future as a team came down to their Tag Team Championship match against Billy & Chuck on SmackDown!
    • D-Von said that if they won the titles, they would stay together as a team, but if they lost, they would go their own separate ways.
    • Bubba said it was a hell of a run, but if the run had to end, best it should happen in Philadelphia -- the city that the Dudley Boyz were born in.
    • Bubba said no one could ever take their legacy away from them.
    • He suggested that they go out there and take Billy & Chuck to the extreme!

  4. TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Billy & Chuck w/Rico vs Dudley Boyz.
    • Rico interfered in the bout on several occasions, and when the Dudleys seemed to have the match won with the Dudley Device, Rico distracted the referee.
    • D-Von chased Rico up the ramp, and Billy hit the Fame-asser on Bubba Ray for the pinfall and the victory, ending the Dudleys' run as a team!
    • After the bout, Billy choked Bubba, until D-Von ran back down.
    • The teams duked it out, and the Dudleys gave Chuck the 3-D.
    • Then, the brothers gave Billy the "Wassup!" headbutt!
    • Bubba then told his brother to get the table!

    • Suddenly, Chris Jericho walked over, and seemed sickened by Matt and Lita's romantic ways.
    • Y2J said this was all about him, and that he was livid about being on SmackDown! -- he said he should be the Undisputed Champion and should be on both shows!
    • Jericho said he was larger than life, and until he had the Undisputed Championship back around his waist, he would never be happy again.
    • Matt said he could understand why Jericho was unhappy, since nobody wanted to be a has-been!
    • As Matt and Lita walked away, Jericho attacked the two, and screamed that he was not a has-been!

  7. BACKSTAGE: Hollywood Hogan & The Rock.
    • Hollywood Hulk Hogan (SmackDown!) was getting ready in his dressing room when he was approached by The Rock (SmackDown!).

    • Hogan said that their partner for tonight -- Kane (RAW) -- was bigger and badder than any dude he'd ever been in the ring with.
    • He asked Rock if they could trust Kane.

    • Rock said Kane was an ass-kicking machine.

    • Kane spoke in traditional Hulk Hogan mode, culminating in, "Whatcha gonna do when Hulk Hogan, The Rock and the Big Red Machine run wild on you?"

    • The superstars were talking about their favorite memories from years past.
    • Tajiri won the hand of poker, and Torrie lost, so she took off a necklace.
    • Christian was mad at being one card away from a royal flush, and threw a temper tantrum!

    • Test broke the rules a number of times, and got into it with referee Earl Hebner on several occasions.

  12. INTERVIEW: The Coach & Raven.
    • Coach asked Raven (RAW) about his Hardcore Title match with Maven, and about being picked for the RAW team.
    • Raven said that which show he competed on was less important than what he wrestled for.
    • He said the Hardcore Title was his first objective.

    • Vince said that if Austin was going to be on RAW, then so too was he.

  15. OFFICE OF THE APA: APA, Hurricane, William Regal.
    • Hurricane chugged a beer, and then passed out.
    • Regal approached the group, and the European Champion reminded them that he had predicted last week that the APA was now out of business, and it had come to pass.
