After a ref bump, Lesnar grabs a chair to hit Eddie with, only for Eddie to dodge the chair shot, disarm Lesnar and take the chair for himself, take out Lesnar with a chair shot and hit the frog splash on Lesnar with the chair on Lesnar's ribs.

He’s interrupted by The Rock, who proclaims that Michaels is one of the all time greats, but he’s never beaten The Great One. HBK retorts by saying that since The Rock went to Hollywood, he’s now the most electrifying man in sports entertainment and that he has proven it week after week, day after day and month after month.

Despite all the attacks, Benoit says that nothing will stop him from becoming World Champion, while Triple H says he’ll make Benoit wish he’d never left SmackDown and prove that he’s that damn good. At the end of the match, Benoit reverses a Pedigree and traps The Game in the Crossface to become World Heavyweight Champion. We still get that same amazing moment with Benoit and Eddie Guerrero holding their respective titles aloft as confetti falls from the ceiling.)
