Rebellion 2000 picked up where Rebellion 1999 left off with a highly entertaining if decidedly less historic show.

The card played host to the only ever pay per view singles contest between Chris Benoit and The Undertaker. This was easily the best match of 'Taker's year 2000. Benoit worked over the legs, attempting to nullify the vast size distance and almost made Big Evil submit before he fell victim to a desperation roll up. It was a very competitive match and was all the better for it.

Earlier in the show, The Dudley Boyz defeated Edge & Christian and T&A in a fun Tables Elimination bout, which ended when Christian fell victim to a 3D through the table.

William Regal, now the resident British Superstar in WWE following the British Bulldog's departure from the company six months earlier, defended his European Championship versus Crash Holly. In a shock, Crash upset Regal to win the strap. Regal would regain it days later.

"The One" Billy Gunn teamed with former D-X stablemate, Chyna in an entertaining bout versus Eddie Guerrero and Dean Malenko. This match played off the break-up of Chyna and Guerrero's engagement. Chyna and Gunn won to earn a degree of revenge.

The main event saw Kurt Angle defend the WWE Championship in a Fatal 4 Way bout versus The Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Rikishi. This was a hot match which the crowd were electric for. There was boatloads of interference towards the home stretch from Edge & Christian and Chris Benoit on behalf of Angle (who had sought their assistance earlier in the night). Eventually, the numbers told for the challengers and Angle retained his gold.

Stone Cold and The Rock battered the heels post match and shared a beer to the delight of the audience, ending the card on a high.
