The taping opened with Kurt Angle was in the ring, in his wheelchair. He demanded that Booker T and John Cena apologize for what happened to him last week when the two men knocked him out of his chair during their fisticuffs. Booker apologized to Angle, but Cena refused to. So, Angle told Cena that he had to wrestle Rob Van Dam, Rene Dupree and Booker T tonight. The first one to beat him tonight will get a US Title match against Cena at the Great American Bash.
Next was the debut of Kenzo Suzuki, who was carried out to the ring in "King Mabel" style and was with his wife. He beat Scotty Too Hotty in a pretty bad match.
Backstage, they did a bit where Angle it was stated that Cena's three challengers would draw straws to see who wrestled him when.
They did a vignette where Bradshaw was shown getting a manicure.
Rey Mysterio beat Chavo Guerrero Jr. after Chavo Classic's interference backfired.
A vignette aired that showed Paul Heyman with the Dudleys at an "unknown location" where they were keeping Paul Bearer. Heyman told the Dudleys that they didn't realize what kind of anger they had unleashed in the Undertaker. Heyman said he was going to go to Nassau Coliseum to talk to the Undertaker.
John Cena's three man challenge was next.
Booker T went first, and he and Cena battled to a five minute draw.
Rob Van Dam was out next, and RVD hit the frog splash as time was running out. He didn't make the cover in time, so that match ended in a five minute draw as well.
Cena then faced Rene Dupree but that match ended in a five minute draw as well.
Kurt Angle ordered an additional five minutes, and Cena pinned Dupree with the FU. Angle said that the pin didn't count, and then ordered that Cena defend the U.S. Title against Rene Dupree, Booker T and Rob Van Dam at the Great American Bash in a four way match. Booker and Dupree then attacked Cena, but RVD made the save. After Booker and Dupree were run off, RVD made a gesture to Cena that he wanted the belt. RVD ended up laying out Cena with a kick before leaving.
Bradshaw's limo arrived at the building. Bradshaw got out, then said he didn't need to wrestle tonight, so he was going to head back to New York City. He got back into the limo, and we saw that Eddie Guerrero was now driving the limo as it took off into the night.
Mordecai defeated Paul London.
The limo returned to the building, with Eddie crashing it into things. Eddie drove it to ringside, and we saw that Bradshaw, unconscious and covered in garbage, was still in the limo. Eddie got out and had the crowd scream to wake up Bradshaw. As Bradshaw stumbled out of the limo in shambles, Guerrero said that at the Great American Bash, Bradshaw would be as banged up as his limo was. Bradshaw was trying to put broken pieces back on his limo, and was very upset over what Eddie had done to his limo.
Paul Heyman came to the ring, and announced that tonight would "change the course of wrestling" as either the Undertaker would join him, or the Undertaker would destroy him. Undertaker came out, and it appeared that he was going to go after Heyman, but Heyman pulled out the urn, and Undertaker dropped to one knee in his classic "worshipping the urn" pose. That ended the TV taping.
After the taping ended, they did a brief Bradshaw-Undertaker confrontation for the live audience.
