![Street Fight: Tommy Dreamer vs. Rhino ...]()
Once again, Tommy Dreamer & Rhyno relived their ECW Days when they faced off for the WWE Hardcore Championship, several people interfered in the match like The FBI. Chris Nowinski. The Hurricane. 3-Minute Warning. A-Train. Shannon Moore, Crash Holly & Tajiri to try to take the Hardcore Title, but Rhyno would not be denied and Rhyno captured the Hardcore Title by defeating Tommy Dreamer.
 Torrie Wilson and Sable faced off in a Bikini Contest for the WWE SMACKDOWN Women's Championship in where the fans would vote to see which Bikini would be voted.
Sable stripped down to her bikini first to prove to the fans that this was for all the women who came to beat her, and the men who came to see her.
 Torrie next revealed her bikini and it was a Playboy Bunny.
Sable did not look to be pleased at it all.
 But then, Torrie revealed more as Tazz was about to declare the winner and he announced Torrie Wilson the winner and still SMACKDOWN Women's Champion.
 Shortly thereafter, In a callback to Sable's return the SMACKDOWN after WrestleMania 19. Torrie then gave Sable a peck to ensure that there was no hard feelings.
 The McMahon's hired gun in Test scored the biggest upset of his career with help from his soon to be ex father in law Vince McMahon and friend Shane McMahon defeating Hulk Hogan.
 The Rattlesnake returned to Judgment Day to get his hands on Eric Bischoff and what a judgment day Eric Bischoff faced as Austin not only dominated, not only beat the hell out of him but stomped a mudhole in his ass and walked it dry.
 The Undertaker walked away the winner in the first ever Last Ride Match against Raven meaning that Raven had officially left the WWE for good. Note: I did say this was Raven's last WWE Match meaning that he would go to TNA in June of 2003. I kept Raven around so he could feud with The Undertaker more.
 For the first time since Backlash. The Rock surprised everyone by making his return in the Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal by last eliminating Christian & Booker T to regain the Intercontinental Title for the third straight time. Note: The Rock will stay in wrestling, he will have some Hollywood Commitments but it's best to keep The Rock full time in my rebooking.
 In the weeks leading up to the big 6-man Tag Team Match between the World Champion Sting, Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash taking on Evolution. Triple H gave a choice to Nash, either help him beat Sting or else he will make a decision for him. Nash did put his hands on Flair & Orton, but didn't attack Triple H. Therefore, Triple H nailed Nash with a sledgehammer while the referee was distracted by a brawl outside between Sting & Michaels against Flair & Orton. The Game pinned Nash to get the win and therefore, he earned the right to face Sting one more time at King of The Ring for the World Heavyweight Championship. After, Nash was knocked unconscious and was checked on by Shawn Michaels and Sting.
 Once again Big Show & Brock Lesnar main evented Judgment Day with the WWE Championship on the line.
 The Big Show did everything he could to put Brock Lesnar away by hitting a monsterous chokeslam, but Brock was able to fight out of it and kick out of the move.
 Big Show attempted another chokeslam off the top rope but Brock grabbed The Big Show and hit an epic superplex off the top rope with the ring breaking.
 Both men were both knocked out. No winner could be declared.
 Brock however would walk out under his own power still the WWE Champion, but the rivalry between Brock Lesnar & Big Show was far from over. |

World Heavyweight Championship Hell in A Cell Match: Sting D. Triple H to retain the World Heavyweight Championship
 After months away from competition. Diamond Dallas Page returned weeks ago to challenge Chris Benoit for the WWE United States Championship with Benoit accepting. this match was back and forth but it was Benoit that got the win by hitting a German Suplex to get the victory after DDP escaped out of the crossface.
 For the first time it was the battle of the Rock Bottoms as The Rock & Booker T faced off for the Rock's Intercontinental Championship.
 The match could've gone either way between the two as this was guaranteed to be a classic Intercontinental Title Showdown.
 But the showdown was ruined by Christian who attacked both men with the Intercontinental Title after losing his KOTR Quarterfinals Match against Goldberg.
 The rivalry between Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon continues to run wild as Hulk Hogan defeated Vince's son Shane in Shane's own match, The Street Fight Match.
 The rivalry between Brock Lesnar and The Big Show finally came to a head with Brock retaining the title over The Big Show with the help of Kurt Angle. Kane & The Undertaker who thwarted interference off from The World's Greatest Tag Team & Test.
 The fastest rising star in SMACKDOWN History who debuted a year ago, John Cena made it all the way to the King of The Ring Finals by defeating Jeff Hardy in the quarterfinals and Kane in the semi-finals.
 But the same was said for Goldberg as he defeated RAW's own Christian & Chris Jericho to advance to the finals meaning he would face John Cena in an interpromotional King of The Ring Final Match to determine who would be King!.
 Cena put up a valiant fight against the former WCW Champion Goldberg and he almost had him on the ropes one more than one occasion.
 But a Spear & a Jackhammer would seal the deal and that allowed Goldberg to win the 2003 King of The Ring and earn the right to receive a title match of his choosing.
 In the World Heavyweight Championship Hell in A Cell Closing Moments of the match. Sting and Triple H faced off for the title, but the focus and the story was on Kevin Nash to see if he was going to help Triple H win back the World Title, In the middle of the match. Referee and Co-GM Mick Foley was knocked out and that allowed Flair & Orton to show up to attack Sting, Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash would then make the save. Michaels & Nash were able to make Flair & Orton retreat, but Nash stood in the ring and was awaiting to hit Sting with Triple H's Sledgehammer. Triple H then patted Nash on the back and gave him the KLIQ sign with Nash accepting it, but as Nash was ready to hit Sting. He turned around and hit Triple H with the Sledgehammer.
 And thus Sting survived the ominous Hellish Structure by ending the rivalry between him and Triple H by retaining the World Heavyweight Championship.
 However, Nash was not done with Triple H by any means. Nash then picked up The Former World Champion and powerbombed him through the RAW Announce Table to close out King of The Ring!. |
