Sunday Night Heat opened with Rhyno entering with boos and cheers from the crowd.

RHYNO VS. VAL VENIS

Rhyno entered, followed by Val Venis with purple lights, new kneepads and towel as always. He spun the towel and the match started. Val threatened the crowd. The crowd cheered madly for Rhyno, and Rhyno taunted Venis to come forward and fight. Val returns a taunt, and Rhyno gets a headlock on Venis. Val broke out, and the crowd cheered "ECW", referring to Rhynos' past federation. Rhyno got an armbar on Val, and then a quick leg trip. Rhyno threw him into the ropes and Val ducked an elbow, then got Rhyno in a headlock. Rhyno eyeraked but Venis punched the former ECW star Rhyno multiple times. Val threw him into the ropes and gave Rhyno a shoulderblock. Val taunted the crowd and Rhyno got up looking for the Gore, but Venis ducked out to the outside. We went to commercial break, and when we got back they were both in the ring. Rhyno punched Venis into corner but Val eye rakes Rhyno and throws him into the ropes. Rhyno reversed, and knocked Venis to the mat and went to the top rope. Val got back up and knocked Rhyno to the floor. Venis grabbed Rhyno and slammed him to the ring a few times and rolled him back into the ring. Val hit multiple knee drops to the ribs of Rhyno and went for a pin, but only got a two count. Val Venis got Rhyno back standing and punched his ribs twice. Rhyno went down and Val went for a pin but only got a two. He again got Rhyno back to his feet and locked in a octopus stretch. After a while of being in the move, Rhyno breaks out and turns the stretch into a hiptoss. Both wrestlers lay down for a little bit, but both got up and Val booted Rhyno in the solarplexus. He slapped Rhyno with two knife edge chops, and then went to hit Rhyno with a suplex but with the stronger legs Rhyno blocked it br wrapping his legs around Venis. Rhyno pushes Val and gives a clothesline followed by an overhead backdrop and a belly to belly suplex. Rhyno goes for a pin, but only got a close two count by referee Mike Chioda. He grabs Val Venis and throws him to the ropes, but Val blocks it and knocks Rhyno down. Val goes for a pin with his legs on the ropes but the referee stops the count telling Venis to get his legs off of the ropes. Val went to argue with Chioda, but when he turned around when he was finished arguing he got Gored and pinned for the three count.

WINNER: RHYNO

MATT HARDY VS. RUDY (COOPER?)

Again, Al Snow called the unknown wrestler "Rudy Bobbaganooch". Matt Hardy locked in an arm twist to a headlock, but Rudy busts out and throws Hardy into the ropes. He locks in a headlock of his own and then gets Hardy to the ringpost, and then violently slapped Matt. Matt Hardy version one got out of the turnbuckle with a confident and a little angry look. Hardy gets an armbar on Rudy and returns the slap to Rudy. The unknown shows the same look as Hardy whe he was in the corner. Hardy got an armbar and then a leg takedown to Rudy, but Rudy got back up and punched Matt, then Hardy ducked an elbow from Rudy and throws the unknown outside. Rudy got on the apron and attempted a sunset flip but missed and Hardy took advantage by going to thge top and hitting a double axe handle. Hardy went to pin but got a two count. Rudy got up and reversed a suplex to hit a neckbreaker on Matt Hardy and pinned him but only got a two. The unknown had Hardy in a head twist and the crowd cheered for Matt, and to their delight Hardy got up and punched Rudy and hit him with a back body drop after throwing him to the ropes. They both got to their feet and Hardy blocked a punch from Rudy, knocked him down and hit a leg drop. He got Rudy back up and threw him to the corner and nailed a running bulldog and went to pin Rudy but received only a two count. Hardy went back up but Rudy countered Matt and rolled him up for a pin, but he only got a two count. Hardy got to his feet and nailed the side affect on the unknown, and as Rudy got back up Matt Hardy hit the Twist of Fate. He pinned Rudy and got the three count.

WINNER: MATT HARDY

They went to comercial, and after was a recap of the twenty man battle royal, and the recap of Bischoff telling roster to handle HHH and Shawn Michaels.

TRISH STRATUS W/ TYSON TOMKO VS. NIDIA

Trish enteres with Tomko in a cocky attitude, with boos from the crowd. Nidia comes in and does a "girly" pose and makes her way to the ring. Tomko leaves the ring and Trish gets Nidia in a healock to snapmare. Nidia got back up, but Trish kicked her in the stomach and bashed her head into the turnbuckle and chopped Nidia in the chest. Stratus missed a chop and Nidia kicked her into the midsection. Trish raked Nidias eyes and Nidia fell to the mat. While on the mat Trish stomped on both of Nidias hands. Nidia got back up though and Nidia slapped and kicked Trish, but soon after Tyson Tomko took Trish out of the ring. Stratus got back in and got a hammerlock on Nidia and then a pin, but Nidia got out after two. Trish choked and stomped Nidia, but Nidia got a small package and almost the three but not quite. Nidia followed up with a backslide pin, Trish kicked out but Nidia went for a schoolboy, but again only two count. Nidia picked up Trish and gave her a flying backdrop followed by a northern lights suplex, but Trish kicked out. They both got up and Trish connected with a chick kick, pinned Nidia and won. Sunday Night Heat went off air.
