the OutKast Edge for the victory.

was signed because of Bull's interference in the Lightweight match on RAW and Christian looked
set for some form of revenge.

Edge came out from the crowd and Speared Christian causing the disqualification.

**Mankind Wreck plays as the Pryos finish for the start of SMACKDOWN!
Foley pulls the microphone from his pocket as usual and signals for quiet from the crowd.**
MICK - Well as you saw on RAW, we have our main event set for NO WAY OUT. Tazz defeated Kane,
Edge and Kurt Angle to become the no#1 contender.
After that match, I thought how great it was that we have a deserving number one
contender. I mean he earned the title shot and will face the Rock at NO WAY OUT.
BUT while I was thinking that, I realised just how many people we have on the roster
that could contend for the WWF Championship....so tonight we'll have two more fatal
fourway matches.
This time, they won't be for anything other then pride.
In one match will be Ken Shamrock, Kane, Kurt Angle and Steve Austin in a one fall match.
The final match of the night will be a fatal fourway elimination match. It will involve
Chris Jericho......The no#1 contender, Tazz.
They will be joined by Chris Benoit, don't forget that Benoit will face the winner from
NO WAY OUT at WRESTLEMANIA X-7!
Now who shall we add to that match.......well how about the WWF Champion THE ROCK!
All the matches will have managers, valets and stable mates banned from ringside.
Let's see who has got it and who's not. HAVE A NICE DAY!
**Mankind Wreck plays again as Commissioner Foley leaves.**
THE DUDLEY BOYS w/t Tazz Vs. THE HARDY BOYZ w/t Lita
Smackdown's opening match pitted the Hardys against the Dudleys once again as they battled it
out.
As usual between these two, it was a mix of attacking styles to delight the crowd.
The match ended after Tazz pulled Lita away from the Hardys corner and threw her into the ring
steps. This led to Matt Hardy jumping outside after Tazz.
Meanwhile in the ring, Jeff hit the Swan-Ton bomb onto Buh Buh Ray but as he covered him, D-Von
came off the toprope with a legdrop to the back of the head leading to a Dudley victory.
The Dudley Boys defeated The Hardy Boyz when D-Von pinned J. Hardy with the
Flying Legdrop in 0:12:33.

WWF HaRdCoRe TITLE DUMPSTER MATCH
SABU (C.) Vs. AL SNOW
Sabu's HaRdCoRe title was up for grabs next as Al Snow tried to get over his failure in the
European title hunt by returning to the division that made his WWF name.
It was a brutal affair as Sabu and Snow exchanged chair shots as they attempted to get the
other man near the dumpster. Sabu seemed to have control after he hit Al Snow off the ring
apron with the chair and throw a table.
But as Sabu opened up the dumpster to put Al Snow in, Saturn leaned out of it and pulled him in
and went for the pin inside the dumpster.
Before the three count was made though, Al Snow shut the lid meaning he was the NEW HaRdCoRe
Champ and Saturn's pin inside the dumpster wouldn't matter.
Al Snow defeated Sabu in 0:12:37.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Al Snow won the WWF HaRdCoRe Title.)
24/7 HaRdCoRe CHALLENGE
AL SNOW (C) Vs. SABU Vs. SATURN Vs. CRASH
Within seconds of winning the HaRdCoRe title, Al Snow was in danger of lossing it as Sabu and
Saturn pulled themselves out of the dumpster and chased after Snow.
As Snow made his way back to the locker room, he was stopped as Crash came running out holding
a trash can that he used onto Snow's head to stagger him. Crash went for the cover but Sabu
and Saturn pulled him off.
Saturn then lifted Crash up in the DVD but Sabu shoved him and both men fell off the SMACKDOWN!
stage ramp and fell through some more tables.
Sabu and Al Snow were left but before Sabu could strike, Al Snow got in first and hit him with
the HaRdCoRe title sending Sabu crashing backwards onto Saturn, Crash and the pile of tables.
Al Snow then held aloft the HaRdCoRe belt in triumph and ran to the backstage area before they
could recover.
Al Snow defeated Saturn, Sabu and Crash when Snow escaped in 0:13:14.
Rating: ****
(Al Snow retained the WWF HaRdCoRe Title.)

**The crowd begins cheering for the three men in the ring.**

OutKasts.
You may have ignored me in that group but I'm not gonna do the same....
SYXX - ....Yeah, we had a chat and we want to offer you both the chance to join us as well. If
the Cliq's reforming, we want ALL the members in it and that means you two.
**The Game's music hits as he walks out with Stephanie to his left and Nash to his right.**
GAME - Michaels, you've got to be kidding me. The Cliq is nothing now and it was nothing then.
What possible reason would I have for joining you three misfits.
NASH - Hall, you turned on the OutKasts and you don't turn on the OutKasts and not suffer the
consequences.
GAME - You made a huge mistake leaving us. Although I have to admit that for Triple Syxx to
leave those other a$$holes was a smart move, but Hall... ....no, big trouble for you.
NASH - As a matter of fact...what are we doing talking about it. Any two of you against us,
right here and now.
**The crowd errupts at this as Hall takes the microphone back from Triple Syxx. He walks up to
a corner post and climbs up to the second buckle.**
HALL - If you want HHH & Nash to join us give us a CLIQ chant.....But if you want the Cliq to
beat HHH & Nash in this very ring give us a HEY YO.
**A smile spreads across Scott Hall's face as the crowd favour the second and chants of HEY YO!
fill the arena. Hall hands the microphone back to HBK.**
SHWN - That's settled then. HHH, Nash....I'm disappointed you don't want to join the band again
but you'll be more disappointed after this match.
THE CLIQ (Hbk&T.Syxx) w/t Hall Vs. TRIPLE H/NASH w/t Stephanie
The reunion of three members of the original Cliq was completed tonight after they defeated the
remaining members in tag team action.
Hbk and HHH were in the match the most as the former co-leaders took each other apart in the
ring. HHH seemed to be trying to put Michaels back on the injured list as he worked over his
lower back and spine with some great moves that had Shawn screaming out on some occassions.
But the ending came after Nash got cocky and told HHH to hold up HBK so he could finish him off
with the boot. But HBK got loose and Nash hit HHH with the boot, as he turned around he got a
boot of his own, curtosy of some Sweet Chin Music from Michaels.
The Cliq (Shawn Michaels and Triple Syxx) defeated Hunter Hearst Helmsley and
Kevin Nash) when Michaels pinned Nash after the Superkick in 0:18:03.

REY MISTERIO Jr. Vs. JUVENTUD GUERRERA Vs. CHAVO GUERRERO Jr.
The debut of three lightweights to the WWF roster saw them doing surprisingly well! It was a
fast paced triple threat match between them.
Chavo Guerrero came close to winning after he dropped Rey Misterio Jr. with a brainbuster off
the top rope. But Juventud broke the fall up with a springboard legdrop.
Juvi then went for the pin on Rey but this time Chavo broke it up. Chavo then hit a great
jumping DDT on Rey but instead of pinning this time he went for Juventud. Chavo gave Juvi a
few right hands and then attempted a Hurricanarana but Juventud reversed it into a running
powerbomb for the win.
Juventud Guerrera defeated Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Rey Misterio Jr. when J. Guerrera pinned
Chavo after a running power bomb in 0:11:13.
Rating: ***
STEVE AUSTIN Vs. KURT ANGLE Vs. KANE Vs. KEN SHAMROCK
Our next match saw a fatal fourway match that was surprisingly short. Steve Austin tried to
convince Shamrock to team with him at the start of the match but got taken down by the World's
Most Dangerous Man with a stiff punch.
Austin and the MDGroup appear to have made a lot of enemies, either that or Mick Foley promised
the other three some form of reward, as Austin was triple teamed for ten minutes on and off.
The ending came after Kane chokeslammed Steve Austin. Ken Shamrock had just reversed an Olympic
Slam from Kurt Angle into a bulldog takedown and had managed to get the Anklelock onto Kurt in
the process.
Kurt Angle was screaming in pain and was stuggling to make it to the ropes when Kane took Steve
Austin to the mat again with a devestating Tombstone.
The referee counted the three after Kane covered but during the count, Kurt Angle was tapping
out but the referee unfortunatly hadn't seen it meaning Kane had walked off with the win.
Kane defeated Ken Shamrock, Kurt Angle and Steve Austin:
x Kane beat S. Austin via the Tombstone in 0:15:54

MAIN EVENT
FATAL FOUR WAY ELIMINATION - NON TITLE
BENOIT (IC Champ & WM no#1) Vs. TAZZ (NWO no#1) Vs. JERICHO Vs. THE ROCK (WWF Champ)
An intense main event between these four superstars saw a great preview of two rumoured matches
for the NO WAY OUT Pay Per View.
The match was an all for all frenzy as Jericho, Tazz, Rock and Benoit all fought tooth and nail
inside and outside the ring for a full twenty minutes before the eliminations started.
Benoit attempted to take the Rock down into the Crippler Crossface but the WWF Champion turned
it into the Rock Bottom. As the Rock got back up though, Tazz came from behind and slapped him
in the Tazmission. Meanwhile Benoit kicked out of the pin attempt from Jericho and tried to
get back up. Jericho soon took Benoit down with a back heel kick and applied the Walls Of
Jericho to the Crippler.
Tazz still had the Rock in the Tazmission in the middle of the ring and next to him was Chris
Jericho who had Chris Benoit in the Walls. The crowd were going crazy to see who was going to
give up first and it wasn't long before they found the answer. The Rock had faded badly and
the referee checked the arm which dropped three times. The Rock was out, almost immediatly
after the Rock had been eliminated and Benoit had given up as well leaving us with Jericho Vs.
Tazz.
These two superstars then carried on getting near falls for another five minutes before they
both attempted a clothesline off the ropes simaltaniously. Both men went down. Tazz got back
up after seven but when Jericho got up, Y2J had his back to Tazz. Of course Tazz wasted no time
in putting the Tazmission onto Jericho.
Chris Jericho was fading fast but somehow managed to walk towards the ringpost...Jericho then
managed to climb up the first then second buckle with Tazz still applying the Tazmission. This
gave Jericho leverage and he managed to flip over Tazz and German Suplexed him........One...two
........THREE!
Chris Jericho defeated Chris Benoit, Tazz and Rocky Maivia:
x Tazz beat Maivia via the Tazmission in 0:22:10
x Chris Jericho beat Benoit via the The Walls Of Jericho in 0:22:14
x Chris Jericho beat Tazz via a German Suplex in 0:28:13
