The original Invasion pay per view had 11 matches, which led to seven of them lasting less than 10 minutes. In order to produce a more balanced show, as well as reduce the number of mid-card encounters, the re-booked card has reduced the number of bouts to seven.

Don't forget that in SK's version of the Invasion pay per view, the ECW invasion has not yet occurred.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Re-booked card (winners emboldened):

Inaugural Brawl:

Team WWF (Stone Cold, Kurt Angle, Undertaker, Kane & Chris Jericho) vs Team WCW (Booker T, DDP, Ric Flair, Scott Steiner & Lex Luger)

Trish Stratus & Lita vs Torrie Wilson & Stacy Keibler

Kevin Nash vs Big Show

Billy Kidman vs X-Pac

Edge & Christian vs Lance Storm & Mike Awesome

Bradshaw & Faarooq vs Chuck Palumbo & Sean O'Haire

Earl Hebner vs Nick Patrick

This card would give Team WCW the 4-3 win and much like the original show would feature Stone Cold turning on Team WWF and joining Team WCW.

Eric Bischoff makes an appearance near the end of the bout interfering on behalf of Team WCW while Jim Ross goes apoplectic on commentary.

Following the bout, Stone Cold teases stunning Bischoff, the man who fired him from WCW back in 1995, but instead embraces him, as he celebrates with Bischoff and Shane McMahon.

The next night on Raw, things would begin to get Extreme!
