- Paul Heyman wasn't at ringside, but that didn't stop Kurt Angle from devising an insidious plan to defeat Brock Lesnar on SmackDown! The Olympic gold medalist used a look-alike to do his dirty work for him. - Angle, who sported a red hooded sweatshirt, must have slipped out of the ring during Brock Lesnar's entrance. Someone who looked nearly identical to Angle took his place and got the beating of a lifetime. Brock seemed to have finished off "Kurt" with an F-5 and went for the pinfall when he realized that something was amiss. He bolted to his feet and went on alert, but was still caught off guard by the real Angle, who rolled the challenger up for the pinfall! - Angle immediately fled the scene while Brock tracked down the imposter. Brock vented his rage on the fake champion, even sending him crashing into the steel ring post with an F-5! - Team Angle was up to no good all night. Earlier in the evening, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas thought they were pretty smart to break up a match that pitted Rhyno and Chris Benoit against Los Guerreros. The winner of that contest was to be given a title shot against Team Angle. But the no-contest that resulted by the champs' interference prompted Stephanie McMahon to put all three teams in the ring at WrestleMania in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Tag Team Championship! - Mr. McMahon was more direct in dealing with his WrestleMania opponent, Hulk Hogan. Although the Hulkster was not in the arena, Mr. McMahon sent him a message. Vince said that after WrestleMania he will be devastated because he'll have killed his own creation: Hulkamania. Later, it was announced that Vince and Hulk will meet next week on SmackDown! to sign the contract that will make their WrestleMania showdown official! - In other action, Matt Hardy issued a challenge to any cruiserweight who wanted to get in the ring with him. To Hardy's surprise a competitor with a penguin masked entered the ring and gave him a workout. During the course of their frenetic match, the mask came off to reveal that Brian Kendrick as the challenger! When things started to turn against Matt, Shannon Moore pulled him from the ring and Kendrick was granted a win by a count out! - As promised, Torrie Wilson revealed the scorching hot cover of her on Playboy Magazine! If the cover is any indication (and it most definitely is!) the inside pages will be very revealing! Speaking of which, Sean O'Haire pulled Dawn Marie aside on SmackDown! and convinced the Diva that Torrie Wilson didn't have to be the only one to bare all. Dawn wowed the live crowd in Pittsburgh by opening up her blouse in the middle of the ring! - Match Results: * Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin defeated Rey Mysterio and Billy Kidman * Rikishi defeated Chuck Palumbo * Big Show and A-Train defeated Tajiri and Funaki * Rhyno and Chris Benoit fought Los Guerreros to a No Contest * Brian Kendrick defeated Matt Hardy by countout * Kurt Angle defeated Brock Lesnar
