break the submission hold

The fifth match was the main event from the SmackDown brand, a standard match for the WWE Championship, where Kurt Angle defended the title against Brock Lesnar. The match began with Lesnar scripted to walk away from the ring, but Angle brought him back into the ring. There, Angle performed many offensive maneuvers, including DDT and Angle Slam. He then applied an ankle lock on Lesnar. During this tussle, Lesnar countered the hold, in the process knocking down the referee. Angle applied a Guillotine Choke on Lesnar, which brought Lesnar down onto his knees and allowed Angle to perform another ankle lock. Mr. McMahon, who was managing Lesnar, came into the ring and hit Angle's back with a folding chair to break the submission hold. Because the referee was incapacitated, Lesnar could not be disqualified for the interference. Afterwards, Lesnar attempted twice to lift Angle onto his F-5. During the second attempt, however, Angle countered the throw into another ankle lock, which forced Lesnar to submit. As a result, Angle retained the WWE Championship.[22][26]

The featured preliminary match from the Raw brand was Kane versus Rob Van Dam in a No Disqualification match. Both wrestlers used a ladder to their advantage early in the match. After Kane used the ladder on Van Dam, he attempted to hit Van Dam with a flying clothesline. Instead of hitting Van Dam, though, Kane landed on the arena barricade after Van Dam moved out of the way. Van Dam performed a variation of a rolling thunder on Kane using a folding chair. Following this, Van Dam attempted to hit Kane with the with a Van Daminator with a chair, but Kane rolled out of the ring to avoid the attack. Van Dam then attempted an aerial technique from inside the ring towards Kane, but Kane caught Van Dam in mid-air and executed a tombstone piledriver, which he followed with a cover and a pinfall.[25]
