CAGED
AGGRESSION!
July
31, 2003
The new
WWE Champion was at SmackDown! to celebrate his fourth reign at the top. Of
Angle's four WWE Championship runs, he claims that this one is far and away his
favorite because he wasn't sure if he was going to be able to get in the ring
again after WrestleMania, let alone win the title.
Before
Angle could go any further, his friend Brock Lesnar hit the ring. Lesnar
accepted the defeat, but challenged Angle for the title soon after.
Enter Mr.
McMahon. According to McMahon, Angle went to Vince and pleaded to him not to
give Lesnar a re-match. Angle heartily denies the statement. McMahon goes
forward with naming an alternative match nonetheless. Rather than Lesnar vs.
Angle, Mr. McMahon teamed the two powerhouses together to take on a team of his
choosing. That team was Big Show and A-Train, which Lesnar and Angle went on to
defeat.
After the
match, however, Mr. McMahon came to ringside to tell Lesnar he was scheduled
for a match next week on SmackDown! against him, Mr. McMahon... in steel cage!
Also on
SmackDown!, Torrie's night of passionate sex with Jamie Noble turned naughty
when Billy Gunn entered the picture. By the end of the night, it was Torrie,
Noble, Billy and Nidia all sharing the same bed.
