We open with a recap of the ECW title match at Judgment Day. Chairman Wackjob weasels out of dropping the title, but he's definitely on borrowed time. Jump live to the arena in Moline. Bobby Lashley is out to start the show proper, and calls out Chairman Wackjob, who comes out with Shane & Umaga. Vince at first says that no, Lashley isn't getting another chance, then plugs One Night Stand, coming up on June 3, where every match will be under Extreme rules, including a streetfight for the ECW title. Shane makes the mistake of claiming that his father has never lost a streetfight, citing himself as one of the victims, when in fact Shane beat his father at Wrestlemania 17. He otherwise namechecks Austin, HHH, and Stephanie. Vince sets up a gauntlet for Lashley for tonight. Run the gauntlet, and Lashley gets his one-on-one match (we think) vs. Chairman Wackjob.

Ric Flair vs. Carlito. Return match from Judgment Day. Carlito comes out on the offensive at the bell, hoping to atone for his loss the previous night, but as Jerry Lawler points out, Carlito's chest is still red with welts from all those chops Flair hit him with, and there's more where that came from. One would have expected Carlito to get the win right back, but instead, the action spills out onto the floor, where referee Marty Elias counts both men out. After the bell, Carlito hit Flair with 2 Backstabbers (backcracker) on the floor and left him lying. One fan was heard to yell at Carlito, "I hope you choke on your apple!", after the 2nd generation grappler spat some apple on Flair.Winner: None. Double count-out.

Melina vs. Candice Michelle (non-title). 2 weeks ago, Candice pinned Melina in a tag team match, but the question was whether or not the haughty poser princess could stop Candice's recent winning streak. I don't think Melina will take Candice lightly ever again after this match, though. Candice makes it 4 in a row after using a jackknife pin cover to put away the women's champ.Winner: Candice Michelle.

Bobby Lashley vs. Chris Masters. 1st round of the gauntlet. Lashley will not face one opponent after another. Instead, they're going to spread the matches out over the remaining 90 minutes and change. Lawler put over the revenge factor, since Lashley was the one who broke the Masterlock a few months back. Masters applies his full nelson, but this time Lashley makes it to the ropes to force a break, suggesting that his injured shoulder isn't strong enough to break it this time. That was it for Masters on offense, however, as Lashley put him away with the spear. Winner: Bobby Lashley.

Matt & Jeff Hardy vs. Kenny Dykstra & Johnny Nitro (non-title). The World's Greatest Tag Team is at ringside, but don't do any commentary. Dykstra & Nitro have been teaming of late on Heat, but JR & Lawler refer to them as a "newly formed" team for some reason. A combined 10 tag team titles among the four men in the match, which the announcers didn't bother to reference. Unfortunately, with the Lashley gauntlet the focus of the evening, plus some other stuff, there isn't enough time for this match to go anywhere, and thus Nitro & Dykstra are treated like rent-a-jobbers, with Jeff pinning Nitro after the Swanton. Winners: Matt & Jeff Hardy.Post-match, Charlie Haas & Shelton Benjamin left the desk and started a 4-on-2 assault on the Hardys until Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch made the save. Based on JR's comments, they had another babyface match vs. the Hardys last night. Ah, but there's a little dissent, as Jeff's unwilling to link hands with Murdoch. Hmmmm. Personal feelings?

Great Khali and his interpreter, Runjin Singh (Raw scribbler Dave Kapool) are in the ring, and Singh explains how Khali had his foot barely under the bottom rope whilst in the clutches of the STFU from John Cena at the PPV. He calls Cena a coward, which brings the champ out, title belt back in hand. Cena admits that the foot was under the rope, and says that until Judgment Day, he was afraid of Khali, but not anymore. The stage is set for a rematch, but Khali destroys Cena again, leaving him lying in center ring after a chop to the head and the tree slam. We'd later learn that they'll have that rematch, a falls count anywhere match, at One Night Stand.

Bobby Lashley vs. Viscera. About what you'd expect. Vis hit the Whirlwind of Love (Black Hole Slam) for a near fall, and used the wheel kick for another 2. However, Vis missed a corner splash, allowing Lashley to bound off the opposite ropes to spear the big man down and out. Winner: Bobby Lashley.

Torrie Wilson, Maryse Oulette (making her in ring debut), Ashley Massaro, & Extreme Expose are out to introduce Timbaland & the Hives' music video, "Throw it On Me". The video includes the six girls in a tag team match (Maryse/Torrie/Ashley vs. Extreme Expose). The song's pretty cool. Look for it to show up in the usual places very shortly.

After a break, Randy Orton is out to introduce footage of his match vs. Shawn Michaels from the PPV. He regrets that Shawn's wife Rebecca had to endure what happened to her husband, and after the footage is shown, Orton talks about how injuries are, as the announcers will always tell us, a target, and he took advantage of the situation as a professional should. Not your typical glad-handing heel promo.

Bobby Lashley vs. Umaga. The Samoan Bulldozer also has revenge on his mind, as he's 0-2 vs. Lashley. Being motivated by a 61 year old nutcase isn't the same as having a charismatic manager at your side, though. Frustrated by his inability to beat Lashley, Umaga goes berserk and uses a chair on Lashley. Big mistake, and after the bell sounds, Umaga has a blank look on his face, unable to discern exactly what happened. Winner: Bobby Lashley via DQ. Naturally, Chairman Wackjob is on his way out, with Shane set as the final opponent for Lashley, like sharks smelling blood on the waters.......

Bobby Lashley vs. Shane McMahon. During the commercial, Umaga continued the assault, including a Samoan Spike to Lashley. Ref Chad Patten holds Shane back to give Lashley a chance to regain his bearings to start the match. Shane goes on the attack early, just as he did the last time these two went at it in singles a month ago. It spills out on the floor, and Umaga goes for another chair. Patten throws Umaga out, and the McMahons have to convince Umaga to leave, unwilling to risk another DQ, which would hand Lashley the title shot on a silver platter. It serves as a time buy for Lashley, who gets his 2nd wind, only to get beaten down again. He tries the Dominator, but can't complete it due to an "injured back". Shane goes up top for an elbow, but Lashley springs up like a tiger and spears Shane halfway to Chicago. Winner: Bobby Lashley.
