- A kid in a wheelchair wearing a D-X shirt enters Vince McMahon’s office. Thinking it is a D-X joke, Vince wheels the kid out of his office and the kid crashes into something. Moments later, The Coach comes in with a male enlarger that D-X left outside the room. The Coach tells Vince that he set up a meeting for a friend of his to meet Vince. It turned out to be the kid that Vince pushed out of his office.

Umaga w/Armando Alejandro Estrada vs Eugene - Eugene brought his friends “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan, Kamala, & Doink to ringside.

Winner: Umaga

Foley used a garbage can lid to escape but was disqualified. After the match, he attacked Flair with a barbed wire baseball bat. Winner: Ric Flair 2-0

I-C Title Match: Champ Shelton Benjamin vs Carlito vs Johnny Nitro w/Melina - This match was what is referred to as a spot fest. All the men hit some impressive looking moves. The match ended when Carlito hit the back cracker on Shelton. When he went for the pin, Nitro threw Carlito out of the ring and covered Shelton himself for the three count. Winner and new champion: Johnny Nitro

- Vince psyches up The Spirit Squad and then heads off to the bathroom with the pump that D-X left outside his office earlier. After an explosion, Vince left the room cover in green paint.

RVD then hit the five star splash to get the win. Winner: Rob Van Dam

2006 Kane vs 1996 Kane - 1996 Kane fought exactly like 2006 Kane. The crowd did not enjoy this match at all. The match ended when 2006 Kane went for a move off the ropes but was caught by 1996 Kane. 1996 Kane delivered a choke slam to get a clean win. Winner: 1996 Kane

Extreme Lumberjack Match: John Cena vs Sabu - The lumberjacks for this match consisted of both RAW and ECW wrestlers. This match featured fighting between the wrestlers involved in this match and the lumberjacks. The end came when Cena delivered an FU to Sabu from the ring into a table set outside on the floor.

D-Generation X vs The Spirit squad:

That was the Funniest Match in Vengeance History that i have ever seen. “The Game” And The “ShowStopper” Taken the victory in their hands quickly after 17 minutes of easy Match.
Triple H hit the pedigree on Kenny and Shawn hit the Sweet Chin Music on Mitch to promise that the spirit squad cannot get up And They Completely beat Them Easily by Double Pinfall. And What happened after the match? D-Generation X’s Stuff moments were happened, After Dx Cleaning up the ring, They using mitch as ***edit*** And His face entered into Triple H’s ***edit*** Ass and That’s really was the Funniest Moment in Vengeance history. Triple H didn’t talk about what was to him last Vengeance as he lost to Batista in a hell in a cell match for the World Title But in This Vengeance he enjoyed as well with his tag team partner to his stable – Shawn Michaels.
