At the event, Angle won by submission. Brock Lesnar ended his feud with The Hardy Boyz and entered the King of the Ring tournament. On "Raw", Lesnar defeated Bubba Ray Dudley in the first round tournament, then the following week he defeated Booker T in the quarter finals. At the King of the Ring event, he defeated Test in the semifinals then went on to defeat Rob Van Dam in the King of the Ring tournament, which earned him the SummerSlam title shot against the WWE Undisputed Champion. After Judgment Day, Stone Cold Steve Austin continued his feud with Ric Flair, which added both Eddie Guerrero and a returning-from-injury Chris Benoit (who was last seen in June 2001 at King of the Ring due to neck injury). However, the feud ended abruptly with Austin's unexpected departure from the company on June 3 for his refusal to lose a hotshotted match to Brock Lesnar. That same night, Flair lost his half of the WWF ownership to Mr. McMahon and returned to active wrestling. Austin would return in 2003 and he would face The Rock at WrestleMania XIX in a losing effort, which would turn out to be Austin's last match before retiring from wrestling on medical grounds. Guerrero's feud with Van Dam ended on the May 27 episode of "Raw", when he lost the Intercontinental Championship in a ladder match. Two weeks later on "Raw", he lost to Van Dam again in the King of the Ring first round tournament. He went on to face Flair at King of the Ring in place of Austin and lost the match after interference from Bubba Ray Dudley, with whom Guerrero entered a feud the following night on "Raw". After pinning Bubba Ray, Guerrero had the table set up, only for Bubba Ray to put him through it. Chris Benoit then applied the "Crippler Crossface" on Bubba Ray. The following week on "Raw", Benoit and Guerrero fought Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley in a tag team match, which Bubba Ray and Spike won. Afterwards, as Spike tried to execute the "Dudley Dog" on Benoit, the latter countered it and tossed him through a table. Benoit then applied the "Crippler Crossface" on Bubba Ray while Guerrero frog splashed Bubba Ray from behind. The following two weeks on "Raw", Benoit and Guerrero had defeated Bubba and Spike in two different tag team matches. Then on July 21 at Vengeance, Bubba Ray and Spike defeated Benoit and Guerrero in a tag team elimination tables match when Bubba last eliminated Benoit following a "Bubba Bomb".
