Evolution-6 Championship
Adam Copeland © versus Ricky Steamboat versus Chavo Guerrero, Jr. versus Ron Simmons [w/Rick Rude] versus Chris Hero versus Kurt Angle
Adam Copeland took a short cut to get back to the top as Evolution-6 Champion for the third time. Now, he’s got to face the man he beat, Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat as well as four other very hungry challengers. Who will walk out with the E-6 Championship?

Grudge Match
Scott Hall versus Kevin Nash [w/Sean Waltman]
The Wolfpack has totally fallen apart as Scott Hall prepares to go it on his own. Kevin Nash has been on a losing streak, and he’s been as intense as ever. Can he beat his former tag team partner, or is Hall correct?

United States Tag Team Championship Match
Totality [Lex Luger and Curt Hennig] © [w/Rick Rude] versus Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy
Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy were successful in defeating Totality at Giving A Beating. However, since it was by disqualification, they were unable to captured the US Tag Titles. Now, they have another opportunity. Can they win the titles, or will Totality snake them away again?

Women’s Championship Match
Bull Nakano © versus Akira Hokuto versus Mariko Yoshida
Bull Nakano and Linda McMahon had been in cahoots since they ran Michael Hayes and/or Dok Hendrix out of ART. However, Linda was helping Bull gain every victory. Eventually, Bull told Linda she didn’t WANT her help anymore. Then, Akira Hokuto and Mariko Yoshida fought to a draw in one of the best matches on the history of Women of ART. Rumors were, McMahon was going to name a new opponent. However, now Dok Hendrix is somehow back in the picture, and it will be a triple threat match.

ART of ALLEGIANCE Championship Match
Rey Misterio, Jr. and 2 Cold Scorpio versus Dean Malenko and Steve Corino
These two teams fought to a draw on Canvas, and ART management wanted to see them go at it again. Malenko and Scorpio are atop the list of guys who’ve never held the ART World Championship. Misterio is a Hall of Famer, and some say Steve Corino is the future. Some times there is bad blood leading into a match, but this one might just be a banger.

Mankind [w/Percy Pringle] versus ‘The Nature Boy’ Ric Flair
for all mankind attacked Ric Flair brutally in the middle of the ring after Giving A Beating. They left him in a pool of his own blood. We didn’t know if we’d ever see him in ART again. Fast forward to Worldwide and Eddie Guerrero and The Rock need a little help to take on this fearsome group. Ric Flair comes out for revenge. He demands one of the most brutal matches in all of wrestling, The Steel Cage Match. We saw Mankind brutalize a man that Cactus Jack considered his best friend in Terry Funk. What will he do to a man he hates in Ric Flair?

International Television Championship Match
Dustin Rhodes © [w/Dusty Rhodes] versus Bret Hart [w/Eric Bischoff]
This match goes back to Summer’s Last Blast. In the Best of Seven Series, it was Dustin Rhodes’ choice to make a sacrifice in his match against Rey Misterio, Jr. that allowed the Dusty Dream Team to win. That was the same night Bret Hart lost the ART World Championship to Eddie Guerrero. So began the downward slope of Bret Hart’s career. He has failed too many times to count. Meanwhile, Dustin Rhodes has had one of the most impressive International Television Championship runs in history. Hart says Dustin cares more about The International Television Championship than he does his own father. Can Bret take the championship away, or will his losing ways continue?

ART World Championship Match
Eddie Guerrero © versus The Rock
The Rock earned a shot at the ART World Championship when he defeated Bret Hart at Giving A Beating. Since then, he’s been entwined in Eddie’s feud with for all mankind. He said the only reason he helped Eddie was because he wanted him 100% when it came time to challenge for the championship. Eddie got his swagger back when he beat Ric Flair, but it’s clear that his head has been on a swivel teaming with a man he knows wants to take him out. Now, a situation that doesn’t present itself very often is occurring in ART where two absolute fan favorites are going head to head for the richest prize. Are you Team Eddie? Are you Team Rock? Guerrero isn’t even close to matching his first reign as ART World Champion in terms of defenses. Will he get the chance to break his record?
