Brock Lesnar (who was responsible for the chair being thrown in) entered the
ring and hit Jarrett with the F5.

Rock tapped out yet again, after feeling the brunt of the 2-on-1 onslaught.  It
seem as though the morale of the People's Champ is fading, as we head towards
Judgment Day.

Match observations: 

A good show, with some intriguing build up to Judgment Day.  The Rock is really
starting to have his morale dropped with the constant losses.  That's now three
consecutive shows in which he's been beaten by the Million Dollar Dream.  He
won't have to deal with DiBiase at Judgment Day, but surely he must be feeling
fairly low to the point where Ric Flair might be able to steal a win.

Kevin Nash showed he was more than capable of handling the Big Show by busting
him open in the first blood match tonight.  It wasn't pretty, but it's not to
be expected from those two.

The biggest news of the night was that The Undertaker will return to the WWE at
Judgment Day.  He will be in action at the Pay Per View, but as of yet, his
opponent has not been determined.  We may well know by the time Smackdown rolls
around though.

Stone Cold Steve Austin finally pinned Jeff Jarrett, giving him a major morale
boost for Smackdown, and Judgment Day.  It took a wooden chair and some help
from Brock Lesnar, but Stone Cold got the three count.  Jarrett will probably
be after revenge on Smackdown however.

The next show is the last one before Judgment Day, and will feature the big
time tag team match with the Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart against Hulk Hogan
and Steve Austin.  Be sure to tune in, as it'll be one you won't want to miss!
