The main event was a standard wrestling match for the WWF Championship. The Rock defended the title against Chris Benoit. The match stipulated that if Rock was disqualified, he would lose the title. He was disqualified, albeit controversially, and as a result, Benoit won the title. However, the WWF Commissioner Mick Foley restarted the match. Rock then pinned Benoit after a Rock Bottom to retain the title.
The undercard featured Triple H versus Chris Jericho in a Last Man Standing match, The Undertaker versus Kurt Angle, Val Venis versus Rikishi in a Steel Cage match for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, Edge and Christian versus Acolytes Protection Agency (Faarooq and Bradshaw) for the WWF Tag Team Championship, Eddie Guerrero versus Perry Saturn for the WWF European Championship, Tazz versus Al Snow, and The Hardy Boyz (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) and Lita versus T & A (Test and Albert) and Trish Stratus in a mixed tag team match.
