As the show kicked off, Spike Dudley (30pts) and Molly Holly (30pts) headed to the ring! The crowd cheered wildly for the Romeo and Juliet of the World Wrestling Federation. Spike said he was proud to face the World Wrestling Federation Champion last week on SmackDown!, and said that one moment in the sun wasn't enough for him. He said that since Stone Cold Steve Austin was going to hit Molly with a chair last Thursday on SmackDown!, he was calling out the Texas Rattlesnake! It didn't take much provocation for Stone Cold (30pts) to head to the ring. The Federation Champion asked Spike who the hell he thought he was. Spike said, "My name is Spike Dudley!" The Rattlesnake replied that his name was Stone Cold Steve Austin, and he wasn't about to let some punk challenge him. Spike said he had just done so! The Rattlesnake said things weren't fair. Spike then asked the crowd if they wanted to see him face Austin for the title -- and the crowd gave him a "Hell Yeah!" But the Rattlesnake refused, saying that Spike didn't deserve to be in the same ring as him! The Bionic Redneck said he would give it to Spike down the middle. He admitted that Spike had a lot of guts for calling him out, but said that as much guts as Spike had, Molly was still a bimbo! Spike demanded that Austin take his remark back, and the Rattlesnake refused! Stone Cold even called her a two-dollar tramp -- and Molly slapped him! The Rattlesnake shook the slap off, and reiterated that he wasn't giving Spike a title shot. He admitted that Spike and Molly had earned his respect, and he then offered his hand to Spike for a handshake. Spike shook his hand, with no altercation. Suddenly, Austin walked up to Molly and gave her a Stone Cold Stunner (35pts)! As the Rattlesnake left ringside, an enraged Spike checked on his girlfriend!

Your Olympic hero -- Kurt Angle (30pts)-- headed to the ring next, ready to take on Jeff Hardy (30pts) in King of the Ring quarterfinal action. Angle dominated the Light Heavyweight Champion with suplexes, but Jeff was soon in position for a Swanton Bomb, until Kurt rolled away. Angle then went for a moonsault, but missed. Jeff then went for another Swanton (35pts) and hit it, but Kurt got his foot on the ropes. Jeff went back up top, but Angle caught him, and locked on the ankle lock. Jeff had no choice but to tap out. 
Winner: Kurt Angle 50pts

In King of the Ring semifinal action, Rhyno (30pts) took on Tajiri (30pts), accompanied by Commissioner Regal (30pts). The two former ECW stars waged an intense war for the second semifinal spot in the King of the Ring tournament. After the Tarantula, Tajiri missed the kick to the head, and moments later, Rhyno went for the gore. As Rhyno went for the gore, Tajiri kicked him in the head! Regal then instructed Regal to go up top, but when he came off the top, Rhyno gored him (35pts) and pinned him! 
Winner: Rhyno 50pts

In another King of the Ring quarterfinal bout, Edge (30pts) took on Perry Saturn (30pts), as Christian (30pts) and Terri (30pts) watched on from ringside.

After the bout, Albert went after Lita, and Matt attacked him with a Twist of Fate (35pts). But X-Pac (30pts) and Justin Credible (30pts) hit Matt with the X Marks The Spot (35pts Justin Credible), before Jeff Hardy (30pts) ran down for the save. Lita even gave X-Pac a hurricanrana for his troubles! But X-Pac and Justin hit the X Marks the Spot on Jeff (35pts Justin Credible) and Albert hit a Baldobomb (35pts)on Matt, as X-Factor left Team Xtreme lying in a heap.

Kurt Angle (30pts) headed to ringside to provide commentary for the final King of the Ring quarterfinal match, as Christian (30pts) w/Edge (30pts) took on the Big Show (30pts). The 500-pound Big Show dominated Christian at first, and the action soon spilled outside the ring, where the Show pie-faced Angle! Back in the ring, Angle distacted the ref, and E&C gave Big Show a con-chair-to (25pts Edge, 25pts Christian)! Christian then pinned the Big Show to earn the final spot in the King of the Ring semifinals, this Sunday on Pay-Per-View!

At one point, Spike nearly pinned Stone Cold's shoulders to the mat, but the Federation Champion kicked out!

The fight wore on, as the Rattlesnake and the Wolverine went at it. Moments later, Spike went for the Dudley Dogg on Austin, but Austin simply tossed Spike over the top rope, through a table on the outside (25pts)!
