Before the cruiserweight title match. A vignette of Eddie Guerrero had played. During Chavo's entrance, Dean Malenko was seen all teary-eyed. Although the news of Benoit had not surfaced. It is not known whether or not Malenko was emotional about the video or the latter.
Umaga was supposed to win the Intercontinental Championship from Santino Marella via pinfall, but the ref was not informed of the finish and was not supposed to disqualify him. Umaga was then planned to win the title the next night on RAW, but the show was replaced with a tribute to the Benoit family. He finally won it the next week.
First WWE Pay Per View match for Santino Marella.
Last WWE Pay Per View match for Sgt Slaughter.
Some fans in attendance were not aware of Benoit's absence. Hence the shock of the crowd when Johnny Nitro was announced instead. It was not announced over the air that Chris didn't show. Rather Benoit's name is only mentioned once throughout the entire PPV.
