Card rating: ** 3/4 Match observations: A fairly good show, coming off the back of the Judgment Day PPV. Jeff Jarrett, now the Number 1 contender, is starting to get a streak together, and with his victory over Mick Foley tonight, he's proving that he's ready for the Ultimate Warrior at Bad Blood. The Intercontinental Title changed hands again tonight, with Val Venis winning back the belt. However, Chris Benoit has already asked for a rematch, which will take place in a steel cage on Smackdown. The rules are escape only, and if Venis loses, he will not be entitled to a rematch. Based on Bradshaw's victory over Ted DiBiase tonight, the aPa have been named number 1 contenders to the tag titles, and will face DiBiase and the Big Show at Bad Blood. Speaking of the tag titles, there may be some friction between the former tag champions Kevin Nash and Shawn Michaels. Nash was obviously disappointed over losing the gold last night, and took out his frustrations on Los Guerreros. HBK was not too pleased with him doing this at the expense of costing the team another match. Brock Lesnar has made his challenge to William Regal, and come Smackdown, we may find out exactly what kind of match Regal has prepared for him. And finally, Smackdown will also see what should be an amazing Street Fight between Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Who will come out of that one with the victory? Next Show: Smackdown
