JBL came out and wanted a rematch with Cena. Eddie Guerrero, Booker T, Big Show, Rey Mysterious & Kurt Angle all came out and wanted title matches. Angle had a great line saying he was arrested after Mania for armed robbery because he stole the show. Teddy Long came out and said that JBL forgot to put a rematch clause in his contract and ordered a no.1 contender series with the first match tonight being Rey vs. JBL
Paul London retained cruiserweight title over Billy Kidman London bled a good amount during the match. After the pin Chavo Guerrero, who was on commentary, and Kidman laid out London
Luther Reigns was in the back making fun of Show for losing to Akebono and Show challenged him to a match Big Show pinned Reigns after a choke slam.
John Cena came out and talked about his title win. It was definitely a “beginning of a new era” type of speech and he celebrated in the crowd. During the celebration security knocked over a little kid who ended up getting a front row seat because of it.
Angle Invitational saw Angle make a Latin jobber tap out. His name was Jose something. Before the match Angle said he would be facing Guerrero next week in the next match of the no. 1 contender series
Carlito was interviewed backstage and said he interrupted piper’s pit because it was boring watching a guy in a skirt and a bald guy in daisy dukes. He said next week he would start his own show called Carlito’s Cabana
Rey & Eddie talked backstage and Guerrero said he didn’t think Rey could beat JBL on his own and Rey said for Eddie to stay away
Next up was a bikini contest with Torrie Wilson, Dawn Marie & Miss Jackie. Joy Giovanni, Lauren Jones & Michelle McCool came out and wanted to take part. Torrie was declared the winner although I think Joy got a slightly better reaction.
