| Notes: Matt pinned Richards. | |||
| Match #1 - KOTR Round 2 | |||
| Rob Van Dam | def. | Chris Jericho | via Pinfall (14:30) |
| Notes: Plenty of moves off the ropes. Y2J was pulling RVD up onto the top rope when Jericho fell and straddled the ropes. RVD hit with the 5-Star. | |||
| Match #2 - KOTR Round 2 | |||
| Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman |
def. | Test | via Pinfall (8:17) |
| Notes: Heyman provided a distraction for Test at a crucial moment. It didn't matter, because Brock was poised to hit him with the F5 anyway. | |||
| Match #3 - WWE Cruiserweight Championship (SMDN) | |||
| Jamie Noble Challenger w/Nidia |
def. | The Hurricane Champion |
via Pinfall (11:54) |
| Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- Hurricane put his foot on the rope, but Nidia slapped it off before the ref could see it. The Hurricane did the hurri-job. | |||
| Match #4 (RAW) | |||
| Ric Flair | def. | Eddie Guerrero | via Pinfall (16:58) |
| Notes: Chris Benoit came down and attacked Flair, and when the referee was putting him out, Bubba Ray Dudley came down and laid out Guerrero. Flair then made the pin. | |||
| Match #5 - WWE Women's Championship | |||
| Molly Holly Challenger |
def. | Trish Stratus Champion |
via Pinfall (5:39) |
| Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- The pure and wholesome Molly wins the title! | |||
| Match #6 (SMDN) | |||
| Kurt Angle | def. | "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan | via Submission (12:06) |
| Notes: It was a clean win for Angle, and Hogan actually tapped out. Angle was going to leave, but came back when Hogan put on Angle's toupe. Angle grabbed a chair but missed Hogan, hit the ropes, and the chair bounced back in Angle's face. Hogan went for the leg drop, but Angle got up and slapped on the anklelock. Hogan tried to kick Angle off, but Angle would not be denied. | |||
| Match #7 - KOTR Final | |||
| Brock Lesnar w/Paul Heyman |
def. | Rob Van Dam | via Pinfall (5:41) |
| Notes: Brock Lesnar became the 10th King of the Ring winner. The winner of this year's tournament also received the title shot at SummerSlam. This was actually a short and weak match. Even Test lasted longer than RVD did here. | |||
| Match #8 - WWE World Heavyweight Championship (SMDN) | |||
| The Undertaker Champion |
def. | Triple H Challenger |
via Pinfall (23:41) |
| Notes: Paul Heyman joined commentary initially, but ran off when the Rock came down to take his place. The Rock got involved however, and did his best to try and make Triple H win, but the Undertaker still prevailed. And yes, Hebner was down and out, allowing the interference to happen. | |||
