Following a heated confrontation, tonight's main event will be Scott Hall and X-Pac versus Rob Van Dam and Ken Shamrock. Shannon Moore pinned Bubba Ray Dudley after a high cross body in 0:05:10. Rating: 3/4* A disappointing opener. After his superb performance in the Rumble last night, Bubba Dudley let himself down in this match. Masahiro Chono defeated Maven when Maven passed out in a figure-four leglock in 0:10:08. Rating: * 1/4 Chono's singles debut was also a disappointing affair. Better matches will surely come with better opponents though. Interview: That's not his mask! Click here to see highlights. Kurt Angle has Mankind's mask from the Royal Rumble, but Mankind wants it back. Booker T pinned Batista with the Harlem Side Kick in 0:13:02. Rating: * 3/4 After finishing as runner-up in the Royal Rumble, Booker T gets back to winning ways by defeating the lumbering Batista. Hurricane Helms pinned Jeff Jarrett after a senton in 0:10:38. Rating: *** 1/4 An amazing victory for the Hurricane, over a clearly angry Jeff Jarrett. Interview: Jarrett's reaction... Click here to see highlights. While protesting his defeat at the hands of the Hurricane, Jeff Jarrett became the victim of a Stone Cold Stunner from the man he eliminated at the Rumble last night. The Ultimate Warrior pinned Lance Storm with the Big Splash in 0:15:55. Rating: ** 3/4 A fairly good match, considering the presence of the Warrior. His winning streak continues. Rob Van Dam and Ken Shamrock defeated The Kliq (Scott Hall and X-Pac) when RVD pinned X-Pac after a fisherman suplex in 0:04:59. Rating: ** Click here to see highlights. An alright match, but could have been so much more. RVD has now jumped up considerably in the rankings for an IC title shot, but Shamrock is still first in line. Card rating: ** 1/4 Match observations: Coming off the Rumble, this could have been a much better show than it ended up being. However, a number of new rivalries have started to form, while others continue to rage on. Further storylines should start to develop in the weeks leading up to No Way Out and Wrestlemania.
