Notes:

D'Lo Brown went at it again with Al Snow. Snow is basically reduced to jobber matches now. He has a feud lined up in the future, but after that feud, he's probably going to just job the rest of his WWF career away before I retire him. I have plans for the next year, and Snow just doesn't fit in them.
Perry Saturn once again faces Erik Angle, and he wins for the second time! 2-9! Saturn has finally beaten his arch enemy, and now he's proven it wasn't just a fluke. Saturn's feud with Angle is almost over. They'll fight in a rematch at Judgement Day before Erik Angle begins moving up the card and forms a tag-team with his brother. Saturn will later start a feud with Maise. After that, they'll be scheduled to meet yet again at WrestleMania 23, and that will be that for their feud. Shortly after that, Saturn is another wrestler who will be slowly phased out of WWF PPV's. He won't retire, just be phased out.
GenX continues their winning streak here with their feud against The Hardy Boyz. GenX is basically saying that The Hardyz are over with and they need to retire. This is the end of the feud for now, but because it's a big draw, it'll return in time for SummerSlam and WrestleMania.
Tajiri meets Dean Malenko to get over the feud these two will have over the next couple of years. After numerous Lightheavyweight Title matches, these two will soon feud over other titles as well. Tajiri wins this one.
The Impact Players continue their solid status as the most dominant heel tag-team since the New Age Outlaws. They beat the Holly's just because.
Kurt Angle has been saying that he wants to make all of the others titles in the WWF as big as he made the IC, Euro, and World titles when he held them, so he challenged Scotty Too Hotty to a Lightheavyweight Title match. Kurt barely makes the limit, but he does, and he absolutely ANNIHILATES Scotty to win the WWF Lightheavyweight Title. The crowd erupted into boos just because they hate Kurt, not because they like Scotty.
Booker T and Chris Benoit seem lost in the infrastructure of the WWF right now, so they go at it with each other. Booker T gets the win because Benoit will get what he wants a little later.
E & C cotinue to cement their status as the greatest fan favorites the tag-team scene has ever seen. Eddie and Chavo retain the titles against Reckless Youth and Sick Boy.
Maise teamed with Christian to take on their respective feuds, Sean O'Haire and Edge. O'Haire and Maise have had an outstanding feud since they've been fighting each other, with great matches because of it, and Edge & Christian always have great chemistry. Maise & Christian get the win when Christian gets a clean win over his brother.
William Regal challenged RVD for the World title after he won that #1 contender's match at WrestleMania. Regal brought in his own referee for the match so the rules would be upheld...Bill Alfonso! In the end, when Rob Van Dam looked to be almost completely out of the match, Regal went to hit him with a chair, but Fonzie pulled the chair away from him! Then he threw it back at him, and RVD nailed the Van Daminator! Bill Alfonso disqualified Rob Van Dam for using the chair, but the fans cheered on as RVD and Fonzie held up each others hands and once again became his manager. Fonzie was always an integral part of Rob Van Dam's character, so he needed to come back. William Regal won the match by DQ, but not the title. The feud doesn't end here, though. This feud is meant to get Regal over as a SERIOUS threat to RVD's title.
