The NEW WWE champion... The Rock

This PPV is kind of the rebuilding show, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Micheal Cole and Tazz are going to cover the first half of the show.

Tag Team Table Match
Dudleys vs Benoit and Guerrero
Prediction: Chris and Eddy

This match was kind of slow in the beginning when they were tagging in and out, but picked up when all four guys went at it. It looked like Eddy and Spike really got hurt on that Dudley Dog through the table. The Dudleys take the win. **1/2 due to slow start.

Backstage, Bischoff talked about how he was proud of all four of his Raw guys, when he saw HHH, HHH headed into Steph's locker room and Bisch wanted outside.

Cruiserweight Title Match
Jamie Knoble vs Kidman
There were a lot of submission holds in a match where I expected highflying, Knoble retains. *1/2

Backstage Kurt Angle said he was going to win tonight, when Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman came up. Heyman kissed up to Angle, Angle told Paul to shut up, Angle and Lesnar had a staredown.

European Title Match
William Regal vs Jeff Hardy

The proverb is "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." Hardy keeps the belt. DUD

Ric Flair congratulated Jeff backstage when Hogan came up and did the same. Hulk and Ric talked about Hogan doing a Swanton, funny stuff. They then talked about the new GM. They were both mad, maybe the legends are planning an uprising.

Chris Jericho vs John Cena
Solid match, but not really exciting. Cena got the upset victory. **1/4

Bisch was waiting when Steph's attorney came with legal papers. JR & King came out. RVD was doing some Yoga Stretches, Brock was working out.

IC Title Match
Brock Lesnar vs Rob Van Dam

Entertaining match, the crowd really got behind it and it was pretty fast paced. RVD hit the Five Star, but Heyman pulled the ref out, causing a DQ. Would have liked a finish, but what can you do. ***

Stephanie left her locker room, Eric said HHH didn't sign, Steph said he did. Eric was mad and confronted HHH, who was leaving, and HHH went off because it was divorce papers that he signed.

NO DQ, No Countout match
Big Show vs Booker T

Short match, nice spot with the Ax kick from the English announce table through the Spanish announce table on Show. Booker got it in the ring and hit Houston Hangover for the win. **1/2

Triple H then came out to decide what brand. Bischoff came out and sucked up to HHH until Stephanie came out. They all talked for a while and HHH was leading towards Smackdown until HBK came out. HBK wound up talking HHH into joining Raw as "DX" chants went through the crowd. HHH and HBK left and Eric rubbed it in Steph's face until she slapped him. I enjoyed this segment.

Rikishi was interviewed, saying he hoped HHH could live with his decision.

Goldust and Booker were talking backstage when Terri came in. Goldust acted all weird behind her, it was hilarious. Booker said if HHH messed with him, the new Game would be Booker kicking his ass. Goldust talked about joysticks.

Christian and Lance Storm came out and talked about how after they won the titles, they were going across the border to Canada.

Tag Team Title Match
Lance Storm and Christian vs Hulk Hogan and Edge

This match was kind of slow. Test interfered, then Rikishi fought him to the back. Jericho came in and hit Edge with one of the Tag belts giving the Anti-Americans the win and they become new champs. **

Bischoff found Angle walking to the ring and tried to talk him into being a Raw superstar, Angle said he would think about it. Mark Lloyd interviewed Stephanie and said she lost the first battle, but she planned on taking the heart out of Raw.

WWE Undisputed Title Triple Threat Match
The Rock vs Kurt Angle vs Undertaker

This match was awesome. It was nonstop action and it was cool to see each guy doing the others finishers. Rock wins the title for the 7th time by pinning Angle after a Rock Bottom. ****

As I said at the beginning, this was a rebuilding show, but I enjoyed it. 8 out of 10
