In a blockbuster main event for the very first edition of SmackDown back in 1999, The Rock challenged Triple H for the WWE Championship.

The match itself saw many twists & turns, with HHH relying too much on his allies, whilst The Rock tried to keep the momentum on his side throughout the bout.

HBK's Sweet Chin Music & One Pedigree Later, Triple H retained his championship while also reuniting the DX founders at the same time.

To Booker T, this was more than just an inter-promotional World Title match. Booker T had to prove himself all over once again in order to excel in the WWE.

Facing off against the Olympic Gold Medallist, Kurt Angle- It was a huge honour & opportunity to do the same. Booker T was the WCW Champion going into this contest.

Angle eventually won the match (and the title), but Booker T also thoroughly impressed us with a marvellous in-ring performance...

Ellsworth tried to get involved again, but Becky Lynch made sure things wouldn't turn out the same as they did the last time around. However, it was Carmella who won the briefcase in the end, following a great match, & a certainly better one than the previous version of it...
