The show opened with the new #1 contender to the World Heavyweight title (at Wrestlemania), Randy Orton, making his way down to the ring. Orton wasted little time in saying I told you so, and said that neither Rey Mysterio nor Eddie Guerreros spirit could stop destiny&Randy Ortons destiny. He then turned his attention toward his Wrestlemania opponent, Kurt Angle, calling him lucky to have beaten the Undertaker at No Way Out. The Legend Killer insisted that Kurts luck would run out at Mania, and that hed take Angles spot atop the business&a business that his father and the rest of his family built. He called the Ortons the greatest wrestling family of any and all generations and said that he, himself, would be the greatest of this generation. At that point, Chavo Guerrero came in through the crowd and attacked Orton, hitting him with the Three Amigo rolling vertical suplexes and following up with a Frog Splash to the delight of the crowd. Security pulled Guerrero away as the segment closed with Chavo shouting at Orton that the Guerreros were the best wrestling family ever. (CMV1 note- good promo from Orton and a good little side feud for Orton. It makes sense to have Chavo get involved after all the Eddie comments. Ill look forward to that match. Anyhow, solid start to the push toward Mania 22).

Match 1: WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Matt Hardy and Tatanka -(CMV1 note- this time, the tag team titles are on the line&keeping in mind that Hardy and Tatanka won a non-title match at NWO). Hardy and Mercury started things off with a little back and forth action before Nitro tagged in and got a backslide for his troubles. He kicked out, but soon fell victim to Tatankas mind-blowing offense. Tatanka with a hip toss on Nitro followed by a quick strike on Mercury. He then got Irish whipped toward the ropes, but Mercury retaliated the cheap shot by pulling the top rope down and sending Tatanka over and to the floor. MNM proceeded to hit a double suplex on the outside. Back in the ring, MNM executed another double team maneuver, as Nitro caught Tatanka with a running knee drop after a Mercury drop toehold. A double back elbow smash and a double missile dropkick later and MNM were on a major role. Tatanka finally made a comeback when he rolled up Nitro, but Mercury had the ref distracted. Eventually, Tatanka made the hot tag to Hardy after countering another MNM double team attempt and catching each of them with clothesline. Hardy went wild on the heels, even hitting that nice spot he hit at NWO where he bulldogs one of them while clotheslining the other. He then caught Mercury with the Side Effect and tried for a pin attempt, only to see Nitro interfere and allow Joey to regain some momentum. Looking to put MHV1 away, Mercury connected with a Northern Lights suplex pin, but could only manage a near fall. MNM looked for the Snap Shot soon after, but Tatanka helped break it up, while Hardy countered and got a near fall with a sunset flip. Tatanka and Hardy tried for a little double team of their own, but it was not to be, as Nitro made the save. Melee ensued until Hardys attempt at the Twist of Fate was broken when up Melina grabbed hold of his feet. The finish came when Mercury capitalized on the situation and pinned Hardy with a roll-up. MNM retained the tag titles at 7:27. (CMV1 rating- ** ¼) (CMV1 note- solid tag title match that left the door open for a rematch. I must say that Hardy and Tatanka work rather well together for two guys who really have no business working so well together. Also, whats with the IWC hate on Tatanka? Hes in pretty good shape and is moving well out there).
