Match observations: 

Some fairly good matches, and a few weaker ones as well.  Still a good night of
action nonetheless.

The Road to Wrestlemania is officially underway, and with 12 matches to be held
at this years event, it should be a thrilling build-up.  Already announced so
far are Bret Hart versus Ultimate Warrior and, pending no further injuries, the
long-awaited Stone Cold Steve Austin versus Jeff Jarrett match.

Considering that Paul Heyman predicted AJ Styles would be World Champion within
six months, he's not doing particularly well.  After losing by count-out to Rey
Mysterio at No Way Out, he was then beaten via DQ by The Hurricane tonight.  If
he wants gold, and the chance to get at Chris Benoit, he'll need to improve his
results.

Based upon what went down in the main event tonight, it's been rumoured that
Bret Hart will defend the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho on Smackdown
this Thursday night.  It should be an amazing match if it does come to pass.
