Match observations: 

An amazing night of fan-chosen action saw all four WWE Championships change
hands.  Christian realised his dream of becoming the WWE Champ, though he will
now have Triple H breathing down his neck more than ever before.  Rey Mysterio
and Cactus Jack both won back the titles that they felt they had been screwe
out of at No Mercy, while the Dudley Boys overcame the odds to become the new
Tag Team Champions.

Other results saw Randy Orton's attempt at Legend Killing fall flat at the feet
of Bret Hart, who made Orton tap to the Sharpshooter.  Will this be the last
we see of Bret in WWE for now, or is he going to make his return a permanent
one?

Val Venis and Edge embarked on a brutal contest.  Although it was Venis who got
the win, rumour has it that the post match attack by Edge has caused serious
injury to Val, and he may not be back for some time.  

And of course, the one result which we should all fear is Shane McMahon getting
the win over Terry Funk, which means that Shane is now the sole commissioner of
the WWE, and we're right back where we started from just after Wrestlemania. Is
there anyone who can stop Shane O Mac, or will this latest victory in his quest
for power mellow him somewhat?  We'll have to find out on Smackdown.
