Match observations: 

Some great matches tonight, as well as a few shocking twists.  Bret Hart made
his return, while Chris Benoit turned heel.  As a by-product, it seems as 
though AJ Styles has turned face.  Now we all know why Mick Foley tried to
assist Styles at Wrestlemania.

The tag team titles changed hands tonight, as Shawn Michaels and Kevin Nash
were able to de-throne the Basham Brothers.  Don't expect Doug and Danny to
let those belts go just yet though.  They're sure to want a rematch in the
very near future.

Will Brock Lesnar apologise to William Regal on Smackdown?  Lesnar has been in
tough spots before, but who knows what Regal could have planned for him if he
refuses to apologise.

We'll also hear from the Ultimate Warrior on Smackdown, and it will be rather
interesting to hear what the new champion has to say.
