Bad Blood 2003
Live from the Charlotte Colosseum in Charlotte, North Carolina
Raw Branded PPV
Theme: "Headstrong" by Trapt
Sunday Night Heat
3-Minute Warning (Jamal and Rosey) vs. Spike Dudley and Goldust
Winners: 3 Minute Warning at 4:18
Result: Spike and Goldust give it their all. Credit to them for trying, but even if Goldust pops off a ref-distracted low blow to Jamal and Spike hits a Dudleydog to Rosey, the two big men are too powerful to be kept down for long. Jamal promptly tosses Spike over the top rope towards the Spanish announce table, right onto Carlos and Hugo. Goldust attempts to fight back, but one Savate Kick by Jamal and a Samoan Drop by Rosey quickly dispatches him for the 4 minute victory.
Main Card
A video package airs that details the hatred amongst a few superstars, the bitterness that runs deep, the blood that runs hot. Goldberg and The Rock's feud and how the former is a monster that Rock has barely handled. Bischoff and Hogan's hatred stemming back from WCW and how the former has tried his best to stop the latter to the point where Eric is bringing in a manager to help. "Some actions are not forgotten" with how Chief Morley has ran roughshod on Raw under Eric's help and Austin's disdain and Eric's goal of getting the IC Title off of RVD has finally culminated in this match tonight. "Some actions come back to haunt you" and the main event between Booker and Hunter has finally led us to the evil that is Hell in a Cell with Mick Foley as special referee. "Jealousy, rage, contempt, the Bad Blood will spill."
"An Austin-Bischoff production: Bad Blood!"
Christopher Nowinski and Rodney Mack with Theodore Long vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray Dudley and D-von Dudley)
Winners: Christopher Nowinski and Rodney Mack with Theodore Long at 10:07Result: The Dudleys take it to Nowinski and Mack to start off everything, making sure they know where they stand as a unit. It isn't until Bubba misses a splash to Nowinski that he tags in Mack to take it to the bigger man. D-von tries to interfere, but a ref distraction by Long and Nowinski allows Mack to pull Bubba crotch first into the turnbuckle post. Thuggin and Buggin continue to take it to Bubba for a good little bit, isolating him and wearing him down to the point of Mack locking in a Blackout. Bubba manages to fight out of it into a Bubba Bomb, allowing him to make the tag. Mack does the same, taking it to Nowinski for a bit before going for a Saving Grace. Long gets on the apron, distracting him and allowing Mack to nail D-von from behind. Mack and D-von start to fight for a bit. D-von goes for a clothesline to Mack, who ducks, having it nail Bubba from behind. Bubba sees this and is confused, allowing Mack to try and throw D-von out of the ring. He reverses it into a 3D. The two brothers get up, locking eyes for a bit. Long gets on the apron, distracting them. D-von plays like he's going to turn on his brother before grabbing Long. Nowinski throws Bubba into D-von, sending D-von out of the ring. Long stays on the apron to distract the ref, allowing Nowinski to nail Bubba with his face protector. Long gets down, the ref turns around, and counts the ensuing three.
Afterwards, The Dudleys confront each other about what happened before shaking hands and hugging, heading out with the fans' support.
------------------
Before the next match, we get an interview with Chief Morley alongside Storm and A-Train. Coach asks Morley about tonight, and Morley is all confident, saying that Eric has given him the unlosable scenario. Austin might have thrown a wrench in there, but Morley says that tonight he is going to make Mr. Bischoff proud. Austin walks up and tells Morley that this could be his last night as assistant GM. The two have a bit of a staredown until Storm and A-Train get in the way. The three of them head out, leaving Austin to stare at them and drink his beer.
We then get a video package detailing how we got to the next match.
First Time Ever
Ric Flair vs. Shawn Michaels
Winner: Ric Flair at 14:18
Result: It's old school babey! Lock-ups, trading grapples, all manifesting into chops and punches that turns into Shawn taking Flair over the top and diving down onto him. The two continue to trade blows on the outside until Flair tosses Shawn into the steel steps. Flair then chop blocks HBK and sends him knee-first onto the steps. Flair brings the action back in the ring, continuing to work on the knee until applying a Figure 4. HBK gets to the ropes and tries to fight back, but a well placed thumb to the eye and stomp to the knee takes HBK down. Flair locks in another Figure 4 until Shawn reverses it. The two continue fighting around the ring until Shawn reverses an Irish whip into his comeback. Shawn gets to the top rope, which is when Randy Orton runs out of the crowd! Shawn turns around and dives down onto him with a moonsault. HBK goes back up top, but Flair meets him up there. The two fight for a bit more until Flair hits a Superplex to HBK for a two. Flair goes for another Figure 4, but HBK boots him in the ass, sending Flair into the turnbuckle shoulder first. When Flair comes out, HBK hits Sweet Chin Music to him. Orton pulls HBK off on the two, something the ref admonishes him for. HBK responds by beating down Orton and throwing him into the steps and the barricade. HBK gets a table out and sets it up, putting a period on things with a Sweet Chin Music to Orton. HBK puts Flair onto the table and splashes him through it from the top rope. HBK brings Flair back into the ring, looking to end it as Flair begs off. He gets to a corner, keeping the ref in between. HBK goes to grab Flair, which leads perfectly into a mule kick in between both the ref's and HBK's legs. Flair starts to attack HBK's leg again. Flair goes for another Figure 4, but HBK reverses it into a small package, but no ref is there to count it. They fight up and Shawn tunes up the band, eventually hitting another Sweet Chin Music to Flair. That is when Orton runs in and BLASTS Shawn with a chair to the head. Orton puts Flair over HBK before leaving as the ref comes to. He crawls over and counts the three.
------------------
Before the next match, we head backstage where we see The Rock giving his usual improvised "Hollywood" style interview with Coach on Goldberg.
WWE World Tag Team Titles
Billy Gunn and Chuck Palumbo (C) vs. Christian and Chris Jericho
Winners: Christian and Chris Jericho at 11:47
Result: Gunn and Palumbo make Christian and Y2J look like fools for a bit until a ref distraction by Christian allows Jericho to blast Gunn with the ring bell, busting him open. They then isolate Gunn, focusing on him for a good while. Eventually, Palumbo gets the tag and takes it to the two of them single handedly. Chuck hits a Superkick that takes Jericho down, but Christian breaks it up. Things break down from there as the four begin brawling in and outside the ring, all while wary of the count. At some point in the ruckus, Gunn blind tags Palumbo. This allows Chuck to Superkick Christian out and over the top. Jericho responds by locking him in Walls of Jericho. Gunn pops in with a Fameasser that he covers on, but Jericho kicks out at two. Some further distraction by Christian allows Jericho to low blow Gunn and lock in the Walls of Jericho. Gunn refuses to tap despite the blood pouring out of him. Chuck and Christian fight on the outside for a bit before the latter sends the former over the Spanish announce table after reversing a throw. Christian grabs one half of the World Tag Team Titles and a chair. He tosses a chair in the ring, distracting the ref long enough for Christian to nail Gunn in the back of the head. He ducks out as the ref turns to see Gunn not moving. After a bit of checking on him, he calls it off as a result of a TKO.
------------------
After an advert for JR's cookbook and a shot of Triple H getting ready for the Cell match stretching and preparing. Flair exits the showers, telling Hunter that tonight, when he wins, Evolution will be back in style. Hunter ignores them, opting just to focus. Orton tries to pipe in, but Hunter tells them that tonight is Hell in a Cell. And he hopes that neither of them ever have to bear witness to it themselves. He has a title to win, and then they can focus on partying. Orton and Flair nod in agreement and leave Hunter to continue getting ready.
We then get a video package detailing how we got to the next match.
WWE Intercontinental Title vs. Chief Morley's Job. Morley Can Not Be DQed. If RVD is DQed or Counted Out He Will Lose the Title.
Rob Van Dam (C) vs. Chief Morley with Lance Storm and A-Train
Winner: Rob Van Dam at 12:53
Result: This really is a one-sided affair. It starts off immediately with Storm and A-Train taking it to RVD while Morley just watches on with a smile. It's a three on one for a good portion of the start of it until RVD fights back. He kicks Storm down and heel kicks A-Train to the mat. RVD tries to go for Morley, but is dispatched quickly with a kick to the groin. Storm gets a chair while Morley and A-Train beat on RVD. A-Train and Storm set RVD up, allowing Morley to blast RVD in the face with the chair and bust him open. That nets a two. A-Train gets him back up for a Baldo Bomb that also nets a two. Storm Superkicks RVD to the mat, allowing the Chief yet another two. Morley hits a Blue Thunder Bomb onto the chair, which gets the closest two. It's as the three of them are just beating on RVD that glass shatters and Austin comes out, head a shakin and talkin to himself. He enters the ring and the action stops. Austin flips off Morley, A-Train, and Storm before hitting a Stunner to the latter. A-Train goes for a Bicycle Kick, but Austin ducks. When the big man turns around, he also gets a Stunner. Austin then manipulates the ref's hand into a pointer finger, pointing it at Storm and A-Train and then to the back, something the ref agrees to, essentially throwing the two of them out. This is enough for RVD to school boy Morley with his legs, which gets a two. Morley takes RVD down with a clothesline. Austin flips Morley off one last time, going for a Stunner. Morley shoves Austin away into the corner. The ref doesn't call for the bell. When he turns around, Morley blasts him in the face with the chair. Morley uses the chair and beats down RVD for a little bit. He goes for it, but again Rob kicks out. The two begin fighting on the outside with RVD finally getting some offense in. He kicks Chief down a few times before hopping onto the barricade for a move. Chief shoves him away, sending RVD past the barricade and to the floor. Morley enters the ring, trying to accept the count out (as the title would change hands), but RVD gets in on a 9! Morley continues to beat down RVD some more. He starts to get angry, not noticing that Austin has stood up until he bumps into him. Morley turns around and is frightened for a few moments. He sees the ref warning Austin, and Morley smirks. RVD can still get DQed. Austin smirks, standing in the ring and keeping the ref busy. Morley turns around and catches a chair tossed by RVD, who hits him with a Van Damanator. RVD kicks the chair out of the ring as Austin joins it. RVD climbs up top, but Morley meets him halfway. The two fight for a few moments before Chief is kicked down to the mat. RVD hits a Five Star Frog Splash to Morley to rid Raw of his wrath.
Afterwards, following Austin and RVD celebrating with the IC Title and then RVD heading out, Morley is given a Nananana Hey Hey Goodbye send out. Austin gets in the ring and flicks him off, beating him down right right hands and stomping a mudhole. It ends with a Stunner in the middle of the ring to Morley.
------------------
Before the next match, we see Bischoff standing in a hallway backstage. He's dressed to compete in his black karate gi and starts punching the air. Morley crawls up to him, shouting out stuff about how unfair that was and how Austin, as co-GM, should never had interfered like that. Eric agrees and tells him that Linda McMahon will be there tomorrow night with an announcement about the GM position. Morley then tells Eric that that's how Raw should be run and tells Eric he'll see him tomorrow. Eric is confused, wondering what the hell Morley is talking about. Chief tries to tell Eric that he can still be on the Raw roster, but Eric tells him he lost. He's fired as assistant GM. Morley is distraught. Eric has security take Morley away before the co-GM continues shadow boxing.
We then head to Hogan's locker room where we see him dressed and ready to compete. The door is knocked on and Hogan lets them in. Austin walks in and the two have a big staredown that the crowd eats up. Austin says that the two of them don't get along, they might even hate each other, but tonight, it's about Bischoff. And neither of them like Eric very much. Austin tells Hogan that he has his back if Eric has anything up his sleeve. Austin offers a hand, and Hogan refuses it. Hulk tells Austin that the two of them do hate each other, and he can't trust Steve. So tonight, he will handle his business with Eric...without Austin's help. The two have another intense staredown before Austin smirks. He nods his head and leaves Hulk to be.
We then get a video package detailing how we got to the next match.
After Eric has come out first and Hogan comes out second, as the sounds of "Voodoo Child" fade, Eric gets a mic and reveals that the only person who hates Hulk more than he does...is a McMahon. And Eric knows exactly who would want revenge for WCW's loss to WWE's arrogance more than him. He then reveals...
...Shane McMahon as Eric's mystery manager!
Hulk Hogan vs. Eric Bischoff with Shane McMahon
Winner: Hulk Hogan at 10:23
Result: The two start off with Hulk shoving Eric down a few times. Eventually, Eric wants to go for a lock-up, something Shane applauds. Hogan mocks Eric a bit before shoving Eric out of the ring. He and Shane have a bit of a huddle before Eric thinks he's ready. Eric starts to punch Hulk, with Hogan nonchalantly taking them. Eric ends with a kick to Hogan's ribs, which he doesn't like. Hogan starts taking it to Eric with right hands, sending him to the corner and waiting for the ref to pop in. Eric keeps the ref distracted, allowing Shane to run in with a chair and blast Hogan in the back with it. He does it again when Hogan is on all fours. He exits the ring and hides the chair. Eric crawls over and covers Hulk, but it gets a two. Eric continues to kick and punch Hogan, getting him to a corner and choking him. Eric rides the four count with chokes for a bit. Eric taunts the crowd with the hand to the ear. When he turns around, Hulk grabs him by his gi and throws him into the corner, continuing an assault. Hogan does the taunts again and whips Eric into the ropes, rebounding with a Big Boot. Hogan goes for a Running Leg Drop, but Shane gets on the apron, distracting the ref. Hogan sees this and goes for Shane, who ducks the punch by getting off the apron. Hogan tells Shane to enter the ring, distracting the ref. Shane gets on the apron, keeping him busy and allowing Eric to low blow Hogan from behind. Eric rolls Hogan up as Shane hops down. This gets a two count. Eric runs to the ropes and hits a Running Leg Drop of his own. Hogan kicks out at two and starts to Hulk Up. He nails right hands and clotheslines to Eric before pointing the "YOU!" at Shane. Hulk makes chase, allowing Shane to sprint around and into the ring. Shane ducks around the ref and tosses him into a charging Hogan when he enters, taking him down. Shane flicks off Hogan, distracting him and allowing Eric to blast him in the back with a chair. When Hogan turns around, Eric blasts him in the face with it, busting him open. The two of them drag Hogan into the corner and Shane busts out a trash can. He puts it in the corner and climbs the turnbuckle. Eric holds the trash can in place as Shane hits a Coast to Coash to Hulk. Shane gets the ref to come to as Eric covers, but it still only gets a two! Shane and Eric set Hulk up and go for another one, but Hulk fights out, grabbing the chair they were using and nailing Shane in the back with it, getting him out of there. He goes for Eric with it, but the ref reprimands him. Hulk smiles and pitches the chair before beating on Eric some more, including using his belt. Hulk does some taunts before scoop slamming Eric in the middle of the ring. Hulk then hits not one, not two, but three Running Leg Drops to Eric to end the match.
Afterwards, Hulk celebrates as Shane drags a barely conscience Eric to the back.
------------------
After an advert for Freddie Blassie's DVD, we get a video package detailing how we got to the next match.
Goldberg enters first, and during his entrance, Rock attacks him backstage. This pops the crowd as Rock tosses Goldberg into walls and steel crates. Rock blasts Goldberg with a lead pipe a few times before making his entrance himself. We skip the full Hollywood intro as Rock just enters and hustles down to the ring. He waits patiently for Goldberg to come out. Eventually, a seething Goldberg makes his way out, sprinting on down to the ring.
Goldberg vs. The Rock
Winner: Goldberg at 3:53
Result: The bell rings and Rock makes haste. Goldberg chases Rock around ringside for a bit before heading into the ring. Goldberg rushes in, but Rock immediately leaves. Rock catches Goldberg with a hot shot. He then enters and hits a DDT to Goldberg which gets a 1. Rock waits for Goldberg to rise before hitting a Rock Bottom to him. Rock gets up and waits for Goldberg to again reach his feet, and again hits a Rock Bottom! But Goldberg kicks out at two! Rock kicks Goldberg to the mat before throwing his elbow pad away. During his People's Elbow, Goldberg gets up and hits a thrust kick that takes him down! The move that retired Bret Hart and Steve Austin! A now pissed Goldberg waits for Rock to get up. When he does, he goes for a Spear, but Rock dodges, sending Goldberg into the turnbuckle post shoulder first. When Goldberg comes out, Rock hits a THIRD Rock Bottom! He wastes no time and hits a People's Elbow! But Goldberg still kicks out at two! Rock is shocked but stays on him. He goes for another People's Elbow, but mid-move, he is rocked with a Spear, no pun intended! Goldberg, still a bit dazed, settles in the corner as Rock stands up, being torn in half with another Spear! Goldberg gets back up and nails a Jackhammer to Rock! On a two count, Goldberg lifts Rock back up and decides to nail a second Jackhammer! Goldberg hooks the leg and settles for the victory.
Afterwards, Goldberg looks to leave, but opts instead to reenter and Spear Rock for a third time! Rock is holding his ribs and coughing as refs enter the separate them. Goldberg shoves them away and hits a third Jackhammer! King uses this as a reasoning to why you shouldn't piss off a monster, and JR just wonders who the hell, if anybody, can take him down?
------------------
After an advert for a new Divas DVD, we see the Hell in a Cell lower down to the ring.
We then go to Booker T backstage, finishing off his preparations for the looming title match. He holds his title up to his face and kisses it once before leaving the locker room.
Before the next match, we get a video package detailing how we got here.
Hell in a Cell for the WWE Title with Mick Foley as Special Ref. Triple H's Last Chance.
Booker T (C) vs. Triple H
Winner: Booker T at 25:01
Result: The match starts with the two immediately coming to blows. The Game gets the upper hand until Booker reverses it with a leaping clothesline to take him down. The two fight throughout the ring and then outside it, wasting no time by throwing each into steps and back first into the cell wall. Booker takes Hunter down with a spinebuster into the wall and then onto the floor. Booker grabs the legs and goes for a catapult, but Hunter fights back, getting away and fleeing. He goes for the door, but it's locked up tight. Foley stops him and tells him to fight like a man. HHH turns around into some more right hands by Booker, throwing him into the apron, the steps and then back into the ring. HHH begs Booker off, but the latter keeps railing into him. Booker plays to the crowd a bit before going for a Scissors Kick, but HHH ducks out and exits the ring once more. Booker rails into HHH, throwing him into the cell wall face first repeatedly before grinding his face against it. HHH is busted open and Booker focuses on it. Booker gets HHH back in and grabs some stuff from below the ring, starting with a trash can. He brings it in and blasts Hunter with it twice in the head for a two. Booker grabs a kendo stick and a screwdriver, both focusing on nailing into The Game. Eventually, when they're back on the outside, Booker stalks Hunter, not noticing when he grabs a hammer from a crate and blasts it into Booker's knee and then his face, nail remover side first, busting him open. Hunter uses that and tries to separate Booker's wound further. HHH stays on top, beating down Booker as much as he can with punches and with the cell wall. Eventually, HHH goes for a Pedigree, but Booker back body drops out of it, taking him down with clotheslines and a spinebuster. Booker goes for Book End, but HHH elbows out and hits a Double A Spinebuster for a two. HHH grabs a barbed wire 2x4 from below the ring. HHH taunts Booker for a bit with it before going for a strike. Book catches him with a Book End for a two count. Booker grabs the 2x4 and blasts The Game in the gut then the back with it, ending with a shot to the face for a two count. Booker sets the 2x4 onto the top turnbuckle before focusing on Hunter. He goes for a Scissors Kick, but Hunter hits a Harley Race high knee mid-move, sending him to the outside. The two continue fighting, eventually ending with HHH slamming a wooden crate into Booker's face. HHH sends Booker back in and hits a Pedigree for a two! Hunter shakes his head and grabs his sledgehammer. He slams the mat with it and waits for Booker to stand. He goes for the strike, but Booker dodges, taking it to HHH once again. Booker ends it with a Scissors Kick for another two! Booker shakes his head and holds his hand up, hitting a Spinnarooni. He grabs the sledgehammer and goes for HHH, who ducks it. Hunter kicks Booker down low from the mat, allowing him to grab the hammer. He nails Booker in the face with it, which again gets a two! The Game gets up with his hammer, turning around and nails Foley with the hammer, busting him open! HHH sets the hammer down and goes for a Pedigree to Booker, who reverses it into a leg catapult, sending HHH throat and face first into the barbed wire 2x4! Booker capitalizes with another Scissors Kick, but Foley is still out! Booker tries in vain to reawaken Foley. Instead, he goes for another Scissors Kick to the crowd's satisfaction, but HHH blasts him mid-move with the sledgehammer. Foley gets up, pissed. HHH turns around into a series of right hands that take him to the mat. Foley hits a knee to HHH in the corner before busting out socko. He goes to lock in the Mandible Claw on HHH, but Orton and Flair run into the cell, allowing Foley to lock it on the Nature Boy and then Orton, who runs away before it could last. Foley plays to the crowd a bit, but locks in the Mandible Claw to Hunter. Hunter is weakened a bit, but does manage a sold kick to the balls to Foley. Booker goes for some shots to Hunter and it suddenly is 3 on 1. Referees come out to get Evolution out of the cell, but this is enough for HHH to blast Booker again with the sledgehammer and hit yet another Pedigree on him! Much to the crowd and JR's dismay, Hunter covers and Foley crawls over to count the three!

dhk1989 - 8/8 Asaemon - 5/8 henriquesser - 5/8 Congratulations to dhk1989 for the shut out! I'm starting to think you realize we're getting back on the original timeline. The goal is to change things that are better, but the more we're back the original timeline, the more likely a lot of this is. Don't worry, we're not going to be completely doing a Reign of Terror. For the most part anyway. As your prize for winning dhk, you can PM me any kind of match you want to see on a PPV. I'll do my best to squeeze it in however I can. Don't go for anything too unrealistic. This is 2003 in WWE so keep that in mind. If I don't think I can make it work, I'll let you know. I'll be going through to edit and proofread the show a bit later after I post some Breaking News and Vengeance. |

Breaking News- On the night after Bad Blood, Gunn and Palumbo beat Jericho and Christian to win back the World Tag Team Titles. A couple weeks later, they were defeated by La Resistance for those same titles.  - On that same episode of Raw, Linda McMahon came out and told Eric Bischoff and Steve Austin that Raw can not continue with Austin beatin the hell out of all of its superstars. Linda told Steve that he can't do that anymore... unless he is physically provoked. Linda than gave them both the night off. Later that night, Linda found herself alone at the stage having just announced the aforementioned World Tag Team Title match for a bit later. She ended up being on the receiving end of a Spear by Goldberg that took her out. After the show, in response to this, the board announced that Goldberg had been suspended for 60 days.  - In the meanwhile, Stephanie announced a tournament to crown a new champion to try and compete with Raw's Intercontinental Title: the revival of the United States Championship!

Vengeance 2003
Live from the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado
SmackDown! Branded PPV
Theme: "Price to Pay" by Staind
Sunday Night Heat  Sean O'Haire vs. Billy Kidman
- O'Haire has been dominant on SmackDown! recently, refusing to back down from any challenge that Stephanie gives him and willing to win over anybody put in his path. When Sean asked Stephanie who his opponent for Vengeance was, Stephanie told him that she had a fully booked card. Sean didn't take too kindly to this and promised to make whoever was in the next match suffer. Queue the next match between Kidman and Tajiri that ended in a double DQ thanks to Sean's interference. One Widowmaker to Kidman later, and Stephanie announced the two of them would fight on Sunday Night Heat. Can Sean continue his dominant streak? Or can Kidman bust out some revenge on O'Haire?Main Card
Inaugural WWE United States Title
Chris Benoit vs. Diamond Dallas Page
- Stephanie announced that, in order to compete with Raw, SmackDown! would be reviving WCW's United States Title and rechristening under the WWE banner. With the official passing of the title from the previous champion upon its unification (Edge), the tournament began. Benoit and DDP were the two members of the SmackDown! roster who made it to the finals, and what a battle of legacy. Two former WCW World Champions, two former WCW United States Champions, two current SmackDown! superstars looking to make a name as the inaugural champion under the WWE banner. Can Benoit outmaneuver the Diamond Cutter to claim the gold for the third time? Or will DDP survive the Crossface long enough to claim that gold for his fourth time?
World Heavyweight Title
Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Shelton Benjamin
- In what was a move orchestrated by Mr. McMahon, Brock Lesnar will be pulling double duty. In an effort to give the champion a taste of what being an underdog feels like, Mr. McMahon booked a match for Lesnar's World Heavyweight Title against his former roommate from the University of Minnesota. There's no love lost here though as Mr. McMahon is doing it all just to see if Lesnar can survive as a supposed "underdog". What kind of shenanigans will McMahon bust out for Lesnar? And will Stephanie remain powerless in the face of her father's unfair authoritative decisions?
WWE Cruiserweight Title
Tajiri (C) with Torrie Wilson vs. Jamie Noble with Nidia
- Ever since Torrie's Playboy came out, Jamie Noble has had a...overly affectionate obsession and Torrie herself. With Kidman busy focusing on his title aspirations and Nidia more focused on Noble's inheritance, it left Noble open to try and continually advance on Torrie. It all culminated when Noble had Torrie blocked backstage. Cue a savior of an unexpecting sort: Tajiri, who sprayed Jamie with the mist and let Torrie be free. Following Tajiri winning the Cruiserweight Title in a 4-way match, Noble set his eyes on both of them, with Noble wanting Torrie and the Cruiserweight Title. After defeating Hurricane to earn this match for the title, Noble upped the ante: he said that if he wins, he gets to have a good ol' time with Torrie. Nobody was willing to accept this, but somehow, when the contract was signed, it was included! When Jamie revealed he got it straight from the desk of Mr. McMahon, it was obvious. So if Jamie wins, not only is he the new Cruiserweight Champion, he also gets a night with Torrie Wilson? Can Noble actually put all this off and win the proverbial lottery? Or can Tajiri, with Torrie in his corner, keep his title and keep her away from the creeper Noble?
The APA (Bradshaw and Farooq) vs. Scott Steiner and Matt Hardy with Shannon Moore
- Matt and Moore punked out the APA in their office, so in revenge, they cost Matt his shot at the US Title. Matt was pissed, so he and Moore cost them a shot at the Tag Team Titles in return. The four men continued punking the other team out when they could, but things culminated when Moore replaced Matt in a Cruiserweight Title match, all because Matt couldn't make weight due to drinking so much beer. It was all tainted Banana Juice thanks to APA pulling a switcharoo! If that wasn't bad enough, the APA also put Moore through a table, meaning he isn't going to be healthy enough to compete in this match. This left Matt in a bind, and Stephanie told him that without Moore, there's no match. Matt went up higher, and Mr. McMahon told Matt to pick any partner he wanted and the match would be made. Later that night in a 6-Man Tag where Scott teamed with APA against Matt and the Bashams, Matt pinned Farooq with the help of some tights, and immediately after, announced his tag team partner was Scott Steiner! Can Steiner and Matt coexist in a team that one of them doesn't even want? Or will the APA put Matt down once and for all, with or without Scott?
WWE Tag Team Titles in a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero (C) vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin)
- Rey and Eddie won the Tag Titles at Judgment Day and the two of them have been nothing but close ever since. They have defeated anybody put in their path, including Shelton and Charlie on SmackDown! in a rematch. World's Greatest Tag Team earned another shot by defeating the APA and this match was made to put a definitive end to it. Stephanie made it 2 Out of 3 Falls to showcase the ability of all four men involved. With the announcement of Lesnar vs. Shelton earlier in the night, will Shelton be in well enough condition to not be a detriment, or will that be what it takes for Rey and Eddie to win? Will the Tag Team Champions retain or can Haas and Benjamin once again become the WWE Tag Team Champions?
The Undertaker vs. John Cena
- It's Old School vs. New School. Cena stoked the flames by attacking Kane with Test, necessitating Undertaker to even the odds. Cena wouldn't let things go, though, and started talking smack about Undertaker. Cena called himself the most respected SmackDown! veteran and a legend on the brand, and commemorated his one year anniversary by issuing an open challenge. Orlando Jordan answered, and despite a few close calls, Cena pulled out the stops. Undertaker gave Jordan props afterwards, something Cena took offense to, as Undertaker did the same thing to him. And now look where they are? Cena took things a little further when he blindsided Undertaker backstage, taking him down and smashing his motorcycle, all with a baseball bat. Cena left Undertaker a battered mess, and on the go-home show, it was Show and Cena vs. Angle and Undertaker. Whilst Angle dealt with Show, Cena took advantage of Undertaker being hurt and nailed him with his chain, injuring his ribs further and busting him open internally. One FU later, and Cena just pinned Undertaker. With Cena talking smack about him for weeks, can The Undertaker shut this kid up? Or will Cena get that pin when it matter most against the Phenom of the WWE?
WWE Women's Title
Victoria (C) with Steven Richards vs. Jazz
- Victoria beat Jazz at Judgment Day, and ever since, Jazz has made it her mission to regain that title. Victoria has defeated all challengers, including Molly Holly, Jacqueline, and Trish Stratus. All that was left was Jazz's rematch, something Mr. McMahon refused to give to her unless she kissed him. She refused, and he made it Jazz versus Molly and Steven Richards later that night in a Handicap Match. Before the match, Stephanie told them that if Jazz were to win, than she would earn her rematch for Vengeance. One Powerbomb to Molly later, and Jazz is the new contender for the Women's Title. Can Victoria hold onto her title against a pissed off Amazon? Or will Jazz once again overcome the odds and regain her Women's Title?
No Holds Barred
Kane vs. Test
- These have been at each other's throats for months now. Things finally seemed to reach a breaking point when Test continued to attack Kane in the US Title tournament, something Kane reciprocated. It reached a point where Mr. McMahon told Stephanie to do something about it. After a particularly long and brutal brawl around the backstage area, Stephanie made it Kane and Test in a No Holds Barred Match at Vengeance. In a bid to control the two of them, Stephanie said that they couldn't attack the other before Vengeance or risk being fired from the WWE. Mr. McMahon cosigned this, surprising everybody, but told them that they could pick their poison for the night. Test picked Kane to face Undertaker, and despite the two brothers not wanting to go at it, it was a well placed Big Boot by Test to Undertaker that gave the loss to Kane. Kane chose Test to face Funaki. Test was excited, but things turned sour real quick when Kane hit a Chokeslam to Funaki, giving Funaki a victory over Test! Test was enraged, but Kane helped Funaki celebrate. Test took his violence out on Funaki and Kane's friend, The Hurricane, leaving them both bloodied and out. Can Kane get some revenge and end Test's confidence? Or can Test ride his momentum right past Kane in what is sure to be a violent affair?
World Heavyweight Title in a Triple Threat Match
Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show
- Kurt Angle made a surprising return to SmackDown!, and with the fans behind him, Angle made it known that Paul Heyman is no longer his agent, and that he is a new man with a new lease on life. He then called out somebody who became a friend to him while he was recovering: Brock Lesnar. The two shook hands and hugged. Kurt then told Lesnar that he is back...because he wants the World Heavyweight Title back. Lesnar agreed with gusto, wanting another shot at Angle. Big Show decided to make himself known, saying that if Kurt really wanted to be champion again, he had to wait in line. While Kurt was laying on his back recovering from his neck injury, Show was domaining SmackDown! and making Lesnar his bitch. Mr. McMahon announced a Triple Threat Match for the title at Vengeance, overriding Stephanie's decision and earning him no favors. In the weeks leading up to Vengeance, Lesnar took on Big Show in a match that ended when the ring collapsed after a Superplex. The next week, Kurt Angle took on Charlie Haas in a match that ended when Lesnar saved Kurt from a two-on-one. The next week, Lesnar and Kurt took on Haas and Benjamin, a match that had Lesnar lose to Shelton thanks to Show's interference. The next week, Angle took on Show, a match that ended when the two wouldn't stop fighting and got a double count out. On the go-home show, Lesnar and Angle took on Show in a handicap match. Show hit both Lesnar and Angle with a Chokeslam at the same time to pick up the victory. Can Angle ride his momentum on his return to be World Heavyweight Champion again? Can Big Show regain that Big Gold Belt and once again overpower his opponents? Or will Lesnar be able to walk out of this match as the "underdog", having done double duty at this point?

Vengeance 2003
Live from the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado
SmackDown! Branded PPV
Theme: "Price to Pay" by Staind
Sunday Night Heat Sean O'Haire vs. Billy Kidman
Winner: Sean O'Haire at 5:04Result: Kidman takes it to Sean with high-flying maneuvers to keep Sean at a bay for a bit. Unfortunately, Sean dodges a Billy springboard, leaving him open for a huge clothesline that sent Billy head over heels. Sean overpowers Billy for a bit more before Billy reverses a suplex into a monkey flip. Billy tries for a Shooting Star Press, but Sean crotches him up top. Sean gets Billy in a fireman's carry from there, hitting the Widowmaker to pick up the win.Main Card
We get clips of Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle talking about how ever since they were little, they had wanted this. They risked their careers, their money, and their lives because they had the drive, the determination, the desire to succeed and be the champion. Nothing could stop them. Tonight, all of their hard work will pay off, because they will prove to everybody that they are the real deal. Nothing can stand in their way...queue Mr. McMahon telling them that tonight is about control. Tonight, he will maintain control with the Big Show, with Shelton Benjamin, with...himself. He is "the dream killer, the reaper of souls, the master puppeteer on this stage of fools." He is the only one who can see "the big picture, the grand design." "So take your bleeding hearts somewhere else. Take your broken necked gimp with you. There's no room for either of you here. This isn't a charity house, this isn't a Key Club, or an old age home, this is a company, this is my business, this is my life! I say what and who goes! I am the master of this house! I pull the strings around here! So I don't care who you are: if you're in my way, you will get taken out!"
And now...SmackDown! presents...WWE...Vengeance.
Before the next match, we get a brief recap of the tournament and who Benoit and DDP beat to get here.
Inaugural WWE United States Title
Chris Benoit vs. Diamond Dallas Page
Winner: Chris Benoit at 14:31
Result: The two start off the match locking up and really giving respect to each other. Soon though, Benoit started getting the better of DDP, using his technical prowess. DDP kept getting out of it though, annoying Chris. Eventually, DDP tried to reverse a Crossface attempt into a Diamond Cutter, but Benoit got out of it. The two started going at it from there, dishing out suplex and throws and holds to wear the other one down. Benoit went for a back suplex, but DDP reversed it into a discus clothesline for a two. DDP went for a corner splash, but Benoit dodged it and hit a Triple German Suplex. Towards the end of the match, Benoit went for a Flying Headbutt, but Page moved, sending Chris into the mat. Page went for a Diamond Cutter, but Benoit held on, going for a German Suplex. Page flipped out of it, hitting a Diamond Cutter when Chris got up. It only got him a two! Page went for another one, but Benoit reversed it into a backslide. When Page kicked out, Chris immediately locked in the Crippler Crossface. Page tried to fight out if it, rolling Benoit around for a bit, but Chris held on. Eventually, Page had to tap out.
Afterwards, the two shook hands with Page raising Benoit's and allowing him the stage.
------------------
Before the next match, we go backstage where we see Mr. McMahon giving something of a pep talk to The World's Greatest Tag Team. He tells Shelton that tonight there are no friends between him and Brock, and that this is Shelton's moment. He then tells Charlie that he must step up with Shelton doing double duty, and prove to the world why they are The World's Greatest Tag Team. The door knocks and Vince allows them in, revealing it's Stephanie. He send Shelton and Charlie on their way before greeting his daughter. The two start giving other shit about the other's jobs before Vince tells Stephanie that this has been a rough month, what with Linda being incapacitated by Goldberg. Stephanie gets angry, telling him he never gave a damn about Linda or his family. The two of them start arguing further about their family, with Vince even giving Shane props for trying to regain control of Raw as its board representative. He then compliments her for having the drive and the guts to stand up to Raw whenever she can and putting on the inarguable best weekly show. Vince then tells Stephanie that if she wants to be ungrateful for everything he's done, than she should know to watch herself. Stephanie tells her father that he has always done this, running power of everyone and getting rid of them if they don't follow his way. Vince threatens Stephanie by telling her she better watch herself, or he'll do the same to her. Stephanie shakes her head and walks away, leaving Vince an unhappy man.
After that, we go to ringside where Cole and Tazz explain why Lesnar is doing double duty and how Vince made this title match against Shelton to see how Lesnar likes being the underdog for once.
World Heavyweight Title
Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Shelton Benjamin
Winner: Brock Lesnar 7:23 by DQ
Result: Lesnar and Shelton start by locking up, but Brock overpowers him all the way. Shelton eventually gets off an early F5 attempt by hotshotting Brock on the top rope. Shelton gets in and starts to outwrestle Brock. Soon after, Brock gets over Shelton and the two trade some amateur wrestling. Shelton uses the ropes to hold down an eventual headlock, something the ref notices. While Shelton distracts the ref, Charlie runs out from the crowd and clobbers Brock whilst he's against the ropes. That nets a two. Shelton takes it to Brock some more, hitting him with some suplexes, splashes, and slams. Eventually, Shelton hits a Superkick to Brock for a two. Shelton goes up top, going for a Flying Clothesline, but Brock catches him mid-air, going for an F5. Charlie runs in and kicks Brock in the balls for the DQ loss.
After the match, Shelton and Charlie double team Brock, throwing him into the steps, the turnbuckle post, and even through the barricade nearest the timekeeper. Eventually, Big Show comes out as Charlie and Shelton clear the SmackDown! announce table. Show hits a Chokeslam to Brock through that table just as Kurt comes out to even the odds. The trio make haste, allowing Kurt and some EMTs to check on Brock. Eventually, Brock is helped out by them, holding his midsection close. Cole and Tazz make reference to his past issues with his ribs.
------------------
Before the next match, we get a video package detailing how we got here. (Author's Note: Seriously, this match got a video package.)
WWE Cruiserweight Title
Tajiri (C) with Torrie Wilson vs. Jamie Noble with Nidia
Winner: Jamie Noble at 4:59
Result: Noble starts coming out alone with his "love case", and immediately he tries making kissy-kissy noises to Torrie. Tajiri won't stand for it and takes it to him. Tajiri kicks away at Noble for a bit, locking him in the Tarantula and just generally taking it to him. Nidia eventually, hesitantly, comes out. Tajiri goes for a handspring back elbow which Noble reverses into a Saito suplex. Noble follows that up with huge Spike DDT which gets a two. Noble eventually goes for a Tiger Bomb, but Tajiri reverses it into a hurricanrana that sends him out of the ring. Noble looks up and sees Torrie. He offers her a kiss, choosing to force one on her in front of Nidia. He turns around and sees Nidia, a dumb smile on his face. Nidia matches it before slapping the taste out of his mouth. He turns around and gets another one from Torrie. They separate to allow Tajiri to dive onto him from the ring. Tajiri tosses Noble in the ring, but is caught off with a leg drop to his back. Noble locks in a Guillotine Choke when Torrie gets on the apron to distract the ref. Noble lets the hold go and confronts Torrie, even pulling her hair. Tajiri tries to attack Noble, but he dodges. Tajiri stops before he can hit Torrie, but Noble tosses him into her, sending her off the apron. Noble hits the O'Connor and pulls the tights to walk away with the gold.
After the match, Torrie is in shock, staring at Torrie. Nidia just leaves, disgusted with everything. Jamie is having the time of his life, not just because of his new championship, but also because he gets to sleep with Torrie. As Jamie heads to the back, we can see Torrie apologizing to Tajiri. He turns towards her, and something suddenly hits for him. He tilts his head, and (as Cole references) she knows his history. She goes to leave, but Tajiri grabs her hair, bringing her back. Tajiri stares her down with Torrie apologizing. Eventually, Tajiri just throws her to the mat. Tajiri looks to leave, but sees Torrie getting up. He turns around and the ref can do nothing to stop the Buzzsaw Kick that lays her out.
------------------
Before the next match, we head backstage where APA gives an interview with Funaki (SmackDown! number one......announcer). The two of them are drinking and talk about how Matt was the pick chosen by Scott, who wants nothing to do with this. This is going to be a cakewalk, and just like the APA when they're playing 5 card, they're gonna run the table.
The APA (Bradshaw and Farooq) vs. Scott Steiner and Matt Hardy with Shannon Moore
Winners: The APA at 4:33Result: Matt and Scott aren't quite sure who to start, so when Matt volunteers, Scott is perfectly willing to let him go at it. Matt tries to take it to APA, but he is shut down all the time. Scott tries to get him in the game, mockingly telling him that he's got this. Matt believes him, refusing to tag and going for the two of them. Eventually, Matt gets into it, hitting a Side Effect to Bradshaw. He goes for a Twist of Fate to him, but he is pushed away into a Spinebuster by Farooq. Bradshaw and Farooq beat on Matt a bit before hitting a Clothesline from Hell to him for the three.
Afterwards, Scott helps Matt up, applauding him a bit before hitting a belly to belly suplex. Shannon tries to interfere, so Scott hits him with a Reverse STO. Scott celebrates alone, shades still on his face.
------------------
Before the next match, we go backstage where we see Jamie Noble with a copy of Torrie Wilson's playboy. He looks at the pages, sniffing them, kissing them, and licking them. He calls a stagehand over and invites him to look as well. Jamie tells him he's gonna be loving Torrie just as long as the mag was in his case (4 months). The stagehand asks about Nidia, and Jamie tells him that she's mad now, but she'll get over it.
WWE Tag Team Titles in a 2 Out of 3 Falls Match
Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero (C) vs. The World's Greatest Tag Team (Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin)
Winners: The World's Greatest Tag Team at 15:01Result: 1. After a while of Eddie and Rey taking it to Haas and Benjamin, Rey is taken out of the ring with a Superkick by Shelton mid-springboard, taking him from the rope to the floor. Eddie hits a Suplex that sends Shelton out of the ring. Charlie hits a modified sunset flip to Eddie, getting his feet on the middle rope and riding the pin high to get the first fall.
2. Shelton and Charlie manage to take it to Rey and Eddie for a bit until Rey reverses an Amateur Hour (powerbomb, diving neckbreaker combo) into a hurricanrana to send Charlie out of the ring. Shelton goes for a Diving Clothesline, but Rey dodges. Shelton rolls through, going for Rey, who headscissors him onto the middle rope. Rey makes the tag and hits a 619 to Shelton. Rey then hits a West Coast Pop, but gets off it to allow Eddie to hit a Frog Splash to Shelton for the three.
3. After a good while of back and forth action, Rey has Charlie set up for a 619. He goes for it, but Shelton comes in and drags him off. Eddie storms in to interfere. Rey goes for a springboard, but Haas throws Eddie into the ropes. Rey jumps over the springboard, landing just in time to be nailed with a Superkick by Shelton. Eddie charges, allowing Charlie to get him on his shoulders and set him on the top rope. Shelton then hits a Leapfrog to him with Charlie's help. The two throw Eddie shoulder first into the turnbuckle. Shelton leaves to break the count, blind tagging in and allowing them to hit their Amateur Hour to Rey for the pin and win!
------------------
After a commercial for Rey Mysterio's DVD, we get a video package detailing how we got to the next match.
The Undertaker vs. John Cena
Winner: The Undertaker at 16:06
Result: Undertaker starts off the match by giving the business to Cena, punching him silly and sending him into the corner. He gets him to the outside and sends him spine first into the turnbuckle post and hitting his apron drape leg drop. Undertaker continues to dominate, hitting his Old School and even a Chokeslam. Undertaker goes for a Last Ride, but Cena gets out of the ring. Undertaker makes chase, with Cena trying to blindside him from around the corner. Undertaker catches him in a choke, but Cena gets out of the ensuing Chokeslam. He throws him into the steel steps twice, sending the steps careening. Cena sets up the bottom steps and hits an FU to him onto them. Cena gets a woozy Undertaker into the ring, netting a two. Cena taunts a bit before hitting a DDT for another two. Cena starts to focus on Undertaker's ribs, beating them down with punches and other slams. Eventually, Undertaker reverses a Camel Clutch into a slam in the corner and then a snapmare. He starts to get into it, beating Cena down in the corner again and hitting a clothesline, Snake Eyes, and a Big Boot. Undertaker goes for another Last Ride, but Cena back body drops out of it. Cena goes for another FU, but Undertaker gets down, hitting another Chokeslam to him. Undertaker calls for the Tombstone, but Cena gets down. Cena pushes Undertaker into the ref, colliding with him and taking him out momentarily. Cena gets the chain and whiffs it into Undertaker's midsection, causing to him to start coughing up blood. Cena hits an FU. The ref comes to and counts a slow two count. Cena starts getting pissed, railing punches to Undertaker on the turnbuckle. He climbs it and focuses on the head, pausing momentarily to taunt the crowd. Boom badda bomb, Last Ride, 1, 2, 3.
------------------
Before the next match, we head backstage where we get Josh Matthews interviewing Test. Test tells the world why he's beating Kane and why he's so focused on getting rid of him. Tonight, Kane's mystique, his aura...it dies. And if Test has anything to say about it, so will Kane.
WWE Women's Title
Victoria (C) with Steven Richards vs. Jazz
Winner: Victoria at 6:32
Result: The two go back and forth at the start to really solidify how equal they are. Eventually, Stevie makes his appearance by removing a turnbuckle pad from one of the corners and then pulling on Jazz's leg. The ref sees the latter and throws him out. Victoria capitalizes by beating on Jazz. Eventually Jazz reverses a Widow's Peak into a backslide for a two. Jazz then goes for a Powerbomb, but Victoria reverses it into a leg catapult into the exposed corner. She then hits a Widow's Peak for the win.
------------------
Before the next match, we get a video package detailing how we got here.
No Holds Barred
Kane vs. Test
Winner: Test at 14:22
Result: The two waste no time and just start beating the hell out of each other. They use steel chairs, the steps, kendo sticks, cookie sheets, whatever, all in the name of chaotic violence. Eventually, Kane gets Test up for a Tombstone onto the apron, but Test gets down, hitting a Big Boot that sends Kane to the floor. Test gets him onto a table and climbs to the top. Test hits a Flying Elbow to Kane through a table on the outside. Test gets Kane in and it the latter kicks out! Test gets pissed, busting out a steel chain. He lassos it around a bit before starting to choke Kane, hanging him on the top rope and choking the hell out of him. Test lets it go and goes for the pin, getting another two! Test is starting to visibly complain. He goes for a Big Boot, but Kane dodges, sending it into a steel chair set up in the corner. Kane starts to come back, clotheslining and slamming Test onto the weapons used previously. Kane goes for a Chokeslam, but sees the chain. He instead opts to start choking Test with it. Test looks to be fading, but comes back long enough to mule kick Kane in the balls...twice! Test blasts Kane in the face with a chair before hitting a Big Boot to him. But Kane still just kicks out! Tests doesn't waste time, using the steel chain to whip Kane in the abdomen, the back, the legs, the arms, whatever he can find. After being satisfied with that, he blasts Kane in the face with the chair three times. With Kane on his knees and still not going down, Test blasts him with another Big Boot to keep the Big Red Machine down!
------------------
Before the next match, we see Eddie Guerrero and Rey Mysterio about to leave the arena. Josh Matthews approaches them and asks about the miscommunication earlier tonight. Rey tells him that if was just an error and that they have apologized to each other. Eddie looks a bit annoyed, but otherwise agrees when Rey says that they are still amigos, hermanos. Rey heads off. Eddie waits a little bit, looking a bit annoyed before telling Josh that they're hermanos, almost like he's trying to tell himself that. He then follows Rey.
After that, we get a video package detailing how we got to the next match. Lesnar comes out with taped ribs.
World Heavyweight Title in a Triple Threat Match
Brock Lesnar (C) vs. Kurt Angle vs. Big Show
Winner: Kurt Angle at 17:38
Result: Angle and Lesnar team up for a bit to try and take Show down. Eventually, Show takes Angle out of the ring, allowing Lesnar to overpower Show with slams and even a flying crossbody. Eventually, Angle pops back in with a pair of trash can lids. They blast Show back and forth before blasting him with them together. The two then go for a Double Suplex, but Show reverses it into a Suplex to both men! Show pins them both at the same time, but they both kick out! Show gets up and goes for a Chokeslam to both men, but they reverse it into a Double Chokeslam! They go for the pin at the same time, but Show kicks out both shoulders! The two start to confront each other, pushing and shoving until eventually ending with a clothesline by Lesnar. Brock takes it to Kurt for a few moments with Kurt reversing it into a few German Suplexes. Eventually, Kurt goes for an Angle Slam, but Brock gets out of it into an F5. Lesnar gets up and sees Show rising. He gets Show up and hits him with an F5! Brock takes Kurt out, throwing him into the steel steps. Brock takes it to Show, putting him with various suplexes. Kurt eventually runs in and blasts Brock with a chair to the face, busting him open. Angle uses the chair and beats on Show for a bit, taking him out of the ring. Kurt pitches the chair and opts instead for a dive over the top onto Show. Show catches him in a choke, sending him back first into the turnbuckle post. Show then clears the Spanish announce table. He goes for Angle, who dodges, sending Show face first into the post. He backs up into an Angle Slam from Show through the Spanish announce table. Kurt stands up, bleeding a bit when a punch from Show hit too snug. Angle enters the ring, confronting Lesnar and starting to work on the ribs of Brock. Lesnar starts to fight back, sending Angle out of the ring with a back body drop. Brock takes it to Angle, the latter reversing a throw into the steps into a back suplex onto the apron. Kurt gets Brock in and hits a Triple German Suplex to him, the third one sending Brock inside out like a moonsault. Kurt then climbs up, going for a moonsault, but Brock dodges! Kurt goes for a Brock, who hits him with a spinebuster. Show comes in like an animal possessed, hitting a Chokeslam to both men at the same time. He pins Kurt, who kicks out! He pins Brock, who kicks out! Show goes for a Chokeslam to Brock, who kicks him in the dick! Brock goes for an F5 to Kurt, who gets down and throws Brock into the turnbuckle shoulder first. Still weakened by the dick kick, Show still grabs Angle in a choke. Kurt then kicks Show in the dick again, hitting another Angle Slam to him. Brock back steps out of the corner right into another Angle Slam! Angle makes the covers and gets the three!
