December Week 3 | Chicago, IL
Mysterio and Cena have been rivals the last few weeks, but the two were booked together to take on a very difficult pair of challengers in the Brothers of Destruction. Things were looking bad for them from the beginning and they only got worse when an attack from Cena that at least looked to be intended for Undertaker, connected with Rey Mysterio instead. Mysterio retaliated by clotheslining Cena and things just fell apart from there. Taker took advantage and chokeslammed the United States Champion to get the win for him and Kane. After the match Cena and Mysterio argued but didn't quite come to blows as Rey simply just walked away from the confrontation.
Winners: Brothers of Destruction by pinfall.
Match #2: Chris Jericho vs. The Rock | One on One Normal Match
Chris Jericho took on the champion The Rock in non-title action after The Rock called him out for his actions last week. Jericho actually stood toe to toe with the champ for most of the matchup, but his arrogance got the better of him. After hitting a Lionsault, Jericho decided to showboat instead of going for the Walls of Jericho immediately. When he did eventually try to lock them in, The Rock rolled out of it before springing to his feet and hitting Jericho with a Rock Bottom that put him away for good. Post-match, a frustrated Jericho tried to attack The Rock from behind while he was celebrating, but the People's Champ was privy to it and countered him before hitting him with a flurry of punches that sent him flying out of the ring.
Winner: The Rock by pinfall.
Match #3: Brock Lesnar w/ Paul Heyman vs. Mr. Perfect | One on One Normal Match
Brock Lesnar hasn't eaten a pinfall since way back at King of the Ring when he lost the final to Booker T. And that wasn't about to change tonight. He simply overwhelmed Mr. Perfect, defeating him in less than 30 seconds after a flurry of suplexes and an F-5. Brock is still yet to win gold in the WWE though, so it will be interesting to see when or if he gets his shot at a belt.
Winner: Brock Lesnar by pinfall.
Main Event: Eddie Guerrero & Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair & Batista & Randy Orton | Two on Three Handicap Match
Both Guerrero and HBK have been targets of Evolution the last few weeks, so they decided to team up and face three of them in a handicap match. When able to get them in one on one situations, HBK and Guerrero held their own, but the numbers advantage continued to come into play for the heel faction. On numerous occasions, Eddie and HBK were both well positioned to hit their finishing maneuvers, but each time one of Evolution would interfere by either tossing Eddie off the top rope or pulling HBK out of the ring. Eventually, the two good guys realized they needed to change tact. Eddie Guerrero hit Randy Orton with the Frog Splash, but instead of going for the cover, allowed HBK to tune up the band and hit him with a Sweet Chin Music as well. Then HBK went after Batista and Flair on the outside to provide a distraction and give Guerrero enough time to hit a second Frog Splash on Orton and pin him to get the massive upset win for himself and HBK.
Winners: Eddie Guerrero & Shawn Michaels
