event. 12,500 people attended the show in the Mellon Arena, earning US$675,000. The show received generally positive reviews. Writing for the Canadian Online Explorer's Slam! Sports section, Bob Kapur rated the event seven from a possible ten. His highest rated match of the night was Michaels vs. Kennedy, which he awarded eight out of ten, and praised the "[g]reat storytelling" throughout. The editor of the Pro Wrestling Torch, Wade Keller, also praised the Michaels/Kennedy match as "very good", but rated the match between Hardy and Triple H higher, lauding it as an "excellent match" that told a "great story". Reviewing the show for The Baltimore Sun, Kevin Eck complimented the psychology of both the Michaels-Kennedy and Hardy-Triple H matches. Overall, Eck stated show displayed booking that "was on the mark for the most part". The worst matches of the night according to Kapur were the ECW tag team bout and the Khali-Finlay match, both of which he rated three of ten. Keller described the tag match as being as expected, noting the middle section "dragged", and called the Khali and Finlay match "lousy". He also criticised the show for finishing earlier than usual pay-per-views, and stated the World Heavyweight Championship match could have been lengthened to prevent the early finish. Eck stated the finish to the tag team match was "well done". Aftermath After the event, the feud between Randy Orton and Chris Jericho slowly died down. Jericho once again defeated Orton on the Tribute to the Troops Raw by disqualification when former SmackDown! announcer John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) entered the ring. After Jericho requested JBL's presence on the December 17 episode of Raw, JBL was outraged, left SmackDown!, and announced his return to Raw to wrestle after a one-and-a-half-year retirement. The two began a feud with each other and had a match at the Royal Rumble in Madison Square Garden which JBL won by disqualification, when Jericho hit JBL with a steel chair. The feud between the World Heavyweight Champion Edge and Batista continued the following week on SmackDown!, where Batista challenged Edge to a title rematch, but the general manager Vickie Guerrero announced that it was a three-on-one title match with the Major Brothers (rechristened as the "Edge-heads" earlier that night) siding with Edge. After Batista pinned one of the Edge-heads, Guerrero announced that Batista could only become the champion by pinning Edge. After Guerrero restarted the match,
