Funaki vs Chavo Guerrero Jr.
In a match that felt like a bit of a let down after the opening match, Chavo and Funaki had an okay match, that got the crowd a little bit calm. Not much to say here honestly as Chavo Guerrero Jr. defeated Funaki in 7:42 by pinfall with a Gory Bomb.

Uh....what?
We go backstage to where Lizzy Borden is standing around, looking at a magazine when Bob Backlund walks up to her with some flowers, and a box of candy, hoping to get a date. "Hey, Lacy, would you like to go on a date with me?" he asked, only for Lizzy to look at him all confused before she raised her eyebrow and laughs a little bit. "Wait, you're for real? First off, it's Lizzy, and second off, I don't think you could handle me Grandpa." turning him down before walking off as Bob looks heart broken

This match would give us some decent wrestling, but the crowd was not to invested into it. Both of these men showing off some great moves, and getting in some great offense on each other, neither one looking to weak. The end came when Lance Storm locked in the Single Leg Boston Crab and made Tajiri submit, getting in the win in 9:54

Edge, what?
Edge, who clearly is just trying to act tough, comes out and calls out RVD, knowing that he just had a match and was being treated backstage, acting like RVD was scared of him when RVD didn't come out as he laughs and walks backstage.

Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho
In the main of event, Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels was tearing he roof off the buidling, back and forth action, near fall after near fall, the crowd on the edge of their seat the whole time as they really was giving it their all. Near the end of the match, Triple H slowly makes his way down to the ring to watch the match, as Michaels was yelling at him to get the hell out of here. Which then when Shawn turned around he was locked into the Walls of Jericho, before Triple H got into the ring, attacking Jericho and caused a DQ 20:23 into the match as the crowd boos
