Official No Way Out Results

The following is the official results of No Way Out, along with possible storyline ramifications.


Cruiserweight Champion Gregory Helms vs. Scotty 2 Hotty vs. Paul London vs. Brian Kendrick vs. Sho Funaki vs. Super Crazy vs. Psicosis vs. Nunzio vs. Kid Kash


Gregory Helms retained his Cruiserweight Title in a very good opening matchup. However, it is the opinion of some people that the wrestler who put the least into the match, Gregory Helms, walked away with his title after everyone else does the work. For instance, Mr Helms refused to get into the ring until the end when he jumped in and pinned Psicosis for the win. Some say he is set to feud with Kid Kash as soon as Kash's broken hand heals and he is closer to 100% Boy, I can't wait to miss that.

JBL with Jillian Hall vs. Bobby Lashley

This was a pretty good match in so far as that JBL fulfilled the time honored tradition of a veteran pulling a green kid up by the boot straps for a passable match. The match ended when Finlay interfered on JBL's behalf. I would much rather see Finlay vs JBL as they both are brawlers and there are several ways to play on a JBL/Finlay feud. I think that Lashley has a great look, and a ton of potential, but in my opinion he needs to be at OVW for a bit longer. WWE got lucky when they took a green kid by the name of Brock Lesnar and shoved him in the limelight, however Lashley is still a bit rough around the edges to be considered a main eventer.
At the conclusion of the match Batista made a surprise appearance to a huge ovation. He looked good and told the crowd he will be coming back and regaining his title. After he left the ring they showed him in the back talking to other wrestlers, with an especially warm moment for Rey Mysterio.

WWE Tag Team Champions MNM vs. Matt Hardy & Tatanka

This was a none title match, so that immediately tells you the challengers are going to win, which Matt Hardy and Tatanka did. I was glad to see Tatanka back, as he was always one of my favorites, but I am not to sure of the pairing of Matt Hardy and Tatanka. Talk about a clash in styles. Never the less, it was good to see Tatanka back and I am looking forward to any possible long term Tatanka storylines.

U.S. Champion Booker T vs. Chris Benoit

I am so glad to see Chris Beniot win the US Title, but am I the only one that is tired of the Booker T/Chris Benoit angle? Not much to describe here, it's the same match with the same spots with a different ending for a change. I am a HUGE Benoit fan, and I like Booker T almost as much, I just think they both need a fresh opponent.

Rey Mysterio vs. Randy Orton - Winner receives World Title match at Wrestlemania 22

Well, I called this one from the start, Rey was pinned by Randy with the help of the ropes. Vickie Guerrero, her daughters and Chavo were in attendance and several camera shots throughout the match cast an eerie presence. You could feel Eddie in the air. After the match a visibly upset Rey was knocking over things and punching the walls. Both Chavo and Vickie tried to console Rey and told him that he did not let them nor Eddie's memory down. Some people are saying that the word is Rey might be involved in a possible triple threat match with Angle, Orton and Mysterio at Wrestlemania, but to be honest I haven't heard anything like that from credible sources. In fact, at Wrestlemania do look for a possible three way for Angles title, but in a more likely Angle/Orton/Undertaker match.

World Champion Kurt Angle vs. The Undertaker

This was a good match! After not seeing Undertaker in much action as of late, I was wondering if there would be ring rust on Takers part, but it was exciting, fast paced and a thoroughly enjoyable match. It ended in somewhat of a controversy as both men thought they had won the match. Taker attempted a triangle choke, but got pinned instead. As the ring announcer declared that Angle had won, a furious Undertaker cornered Angle and told him that he had his number. Thus setting up a feud with Taker for Wrestlemania 22. However, as of late with storylines that don't make much sense, it would indeed make sense of an Angle/Taker match at Wrestlemania, especially after the big build up for the Angle/Undertaker No Way Out match. But then again, things have not made a lot of sense lately. Stay Tuned.
