Note(s)
During the match between John Cena & Jeff Hardy (which was their first one-on-one match with each other) a fan ran into the ring in a referee getup, but was quickly taken down by security and dragged from the ring. This stopped the match temporarily as Cena & Jeff laughed about it before resuming the match.
