No-Time-Limit-Match:
The Acolytes defeated Brood (Bam Bam Bigelow and Gangrel) when Bradshaw pinned
Bigelow after a power bomb in 0:10:38.
Rating: *
**The Brood seemed a shadow of it's previous self, as before the Pay Per View it had six members
  and seven if you count the leader, The Undertaker.  But after Kane injured himself at the PPV
  to send the Undertaker back to WCW, plus Triple Syxx's injury in the European match, it meant
  that only three members remain for now.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Davey Boy Smith pinned D'Lo Brown with the Running Powerslam in 0:11:39.
Rating: *
Hell in the Cell No-Time-Limit-Match:
The Hardy Boyz defeated Blood Brothers when J. Hardy pinned Christian after the
Hardy Bomb in 0:16:30.
Rating: *** 1/4
(The Hardy Boyz retained the WWF Tag Team Champions.)
**The re-match from UnFORGIVEN saw the Hardy Boyz win again, despite the efforts of the Blood
  Brothers.  Both teams proved why they are classed as the best tag teams in wrestling today,
  with another stella performance.  Unfortunatly for the Blood Bros. it wasn't there day as a
  Hardy Bomb was enough to finish of Christian as Edge lay helplessly tied up in the ropes.**

Table No-Time-Limit-No-Countout-No-DQ-Match:
StratusPhere defeated The Dudley Boys when Saturn defeated D-Von by
putting him through a table in 0:10:40.
Rating: **
**The Dudley Boys were denied the win here after Billy Gunn did exactly what he did yesterday
  at UnFORGIVEN.  Bad Ass helped StatusPhere and then turned his attentions to Trish Stratus,
  who was more then happy to see him.  The attack from Bad Ass was more then enough to allow
  Saturn to throw D-Von into the table for the win.  As the Dudleys lay in a pile of broken
  wood, Billy Gunn and Trish Stratus began to speak.**

No-Time-Limit-Match:
Chris Jericho, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Kurt Angle defeated
Rocky Maivia, Chris Benoit and Tazz when Helmsley pinned Tazz with the Pedigree
 in 0:19:16.
Rating: ** 1/4
**Mick Foley pulled a trick out of the hat tonight, when he announced this match just moments
  ago.  Austin and DiBiase had been bragging about how their plan had worked when the Commish
  came out and made a match where, regardless of which team won, there would be three number
  one contenders for the WWF Title.
  The match probably didn't work as well as Foley had hoped as a lot of fighting went on within
  the teams!  Benoit and the Rock attacked each other so much that it was effectively a handicap
  match for Tazz.  On the other side, although HHH and Jericho didn't seem to be getting on, 
  they seemed to realise more then the Rock & Benoit, that to get a shot they needed to work
  together.
  Eventually it worked as the Game, Kurt Angle and the former WWF champion, Jericho managed to
  get the victory after Rock & Benoit fought to the back leaving Tazz all alone.**
No-Time-Limit-Match:
Steve Austin pinned Ken Shamrock with the Stone Cold Stunner in 0:12:27.
Rating: * 3/4
(Steve Austin retained the WWF Heavyweight Title.)
**Ken Shamrock got a WWF Heavyweight Title shot and he proved to the world that he deserved it.
  He took it to Austin in this match and came close to walking away with the belt on several
  occassions.
  Shamrock probably would have won as well if it wasn't for Shane McMahon.  The co-owner came
  down and tripped Shamrock.  Although this didn't hurt Shamrock much, it distracted him for
  long enough so that Austin could hit the Stunner.
  But the interference didn't end there.  As Austin made the cover, Shamrock placed his foot on
  the bottom rope but Ted DiBiase shoved it back off again causing the pinfall.**
