Undisputed WWE Championship
The Rock vs. Kurt Angle vs. Undertaker
Winner & NEW WWE Champion: The Rock
Since winning the WWE Undisputed Championship from Hollywood Hulk Hogan in May, the Undertaker has been unstoppable. He has taken on all comers -- including Triple H, Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam -- and has held onto it, against all odds.
Last month at King of the Ring, Undertaker once again crossed paths with The Rock, and the two wound up brawling. Taker then asked Mr. McMahon for a piece of the People's Champion at Vengeance, a request which the WWE chairman was happy to grant.
Then, on the Fourth of July episode of SmackDown!, Taker defended his title against Kurt Angle, and controversy reigned supreme. Taker picked up the pinfall on Angle, but at the same time he was pinning the Olympian, Taker was also tapping out to a painful choke hold. The bout was ruled a draw, and as a result, Mr. McMahon added Angle to the WWE Championship match at Vengeance.
These three men are certainly no strangers to each other. One of them will be defending the WWE Undisputed Championship against 2002 King of the Ring Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam. The only question is: Who?
Intercontinental Championship
Rob Van Dam vs. Brock Lesnar
Winner (DQ) & Still Intercontinental Champion: RVD
Last month at King of the Ring, Brock Lesnar and Rob Van Dam met up in the tournament final, with Lesnar picking up the win to become 2002 King of the Ring. The following night on RAW, the two met for RVD's Intercontinental Championship, with Van Dam winning via disqualification. After that match, Lesnar powerbombed Van Dam through the announce table.
Lesnar already knows that he will face the WWE Undisputed Champion at SummerSlam in August -- an opportunity he earned by winning King of the Ring. But before he wins that title, he wants another -- the Intercontinental Championship, which belongs to RVD.
Lesnar and Van Dam are two of the brightest shining stars of the RAW brand, and both are looking to pick up a huge win at Vengeance. Will Lesnar head into his SummerSlam title shot already holding a championship of his own? Or will RVD become the first man to pin The Next Big Thing's shoulders to the mat for the 1, 2, 3?
Tag Team Championship
Hollywood Hulk Hogan & Edge vs. Christian & Lance Storm
Winners & NEW Tag Team Champions: Christian & Lance Storm
The Fourth of July is a date that Hulk Hogan and Edge will never forget. For it was on that day that the two became WWE Tag Team Champions. For Edge, it was a dream come true, winning the titles with his boyhood hero. And for Hogan, it marked the first time in his long and storied career that he had been a Tag Team Champion.
But now they face a unique challenge from the men who call themselves the Anti-Americans -- Lance Storm and Christian. Adding to the intrigue is the fact that Edge and Christian are brothers, and that those two held the Tag Team Championship together on seven different occasions.
Can Edge and Hogan retain? Or will the Anti-Americans score a huge win for foreigners everywhere, bringing the title home to their camp?
Tag Team Table Match
Bubba Ray & Spike Dudley vs. Eddie Guerrero & Chris Benoit
Winners: Bubba Ray & Spike Dudley
Since Chris Benoit returned from spinal surgery last month, he has crossed paths with Bubba Ray Dudley on a number of occasions. Benoit and Guerrero have made a habit of attacking the two residents of Dudleyville in recent weeks.
So what's the best way to settle the rivalry? In a match to which the Dudleys are no strangers -- a table match! Someone's going to get wood this Sunday at Vengeance!
No Disqualification, No Count-Out
Booker T vs. Big Show
Winner: Booker T
The nWo is no more, but the rivalry between Booker T and Big Show rages on.
The two were once partners in the renegade faction, until Booker was kicked out in controversial fashion. The two butted heads on more than one occasion, including this past Monday on RAW, when Show put Booker through the announce table.
Both Booker T and Big Show are former WCW Champions, and the superstars are two of the most talented men in World Wrestling Entertainment. In a fight with no disqualification and no countout, who holds the advantage? Is it the 7-foot, 500-pound monster? Or is it the master of the spinerooni?
Cruiserweight Championship
Jamie Noble vs. Billy Kidman
Winner & Still Cruiserweight Champion: Jamie Noble
Since capturing the WWE Cruiserweight Championship last month at King of the Ring, Jamie Noble has been living the high life. He and his girlfriend, Nidia, have had money for the first time ever, and they have been living it up ever since.
Billy Kidman is no stranger to the Cruiserweight Title. A six-time former champion, Kidman has been a dominant force in that division for years. Now, he gets a chance to regain the title he has worn numerous times before.
Can Kidman regain the title? Or will Noble hold onto the championship for dear life, knowing that "the good life" may evade him if he loses his precious title?

Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler
There has never been anyone as charismatic as The Rock. He truly is the most electifying man in sports entertainment. His showmanship, his raw ability to engage fans and the audience is highly respected and well noted by those who follow the World Wrestling Federation--and by those who don't.
