No Way Out was live at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The first match that aired was the six-man tag team match between the team of The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) and United States Champion Chris Benoit and the team of MNM (Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury) and Montel Vontavious Porter.
The match began with Porter and Benoit, and Benoit gained the early advantage over Porter. The Hardys and Benoit remained with the advantage until MNM got involved in the match. MNM illegally double teamed The Hardys while the referee was distracted.
Benoit was then tagged into the match, and MNM attempted to perform a Snapshot on Benoit. Benoit, however, countered the maneuver into a Crippler crossface on Mercury, who submitted, meaning The Hardys and Benoit won the match.
The next match was a Cruiserweight Open for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship. The match began with Scotty 2 Hotty against Daivari; Hotty eliminated Daivari via pinfall after performing the Worm. The Cruiserweight Champion, Gregory Helms, then entered the match and eliminated Hotty via pinfall after he performed a Double knee facebreaker on Hotty.
Funaki was the next participant to enter the match; however, he was eliminated via pinfall after Helms executed a Crossbody into a pin while holding onto Funaki's tights. Shannon Moore was the fifth entrant into the gauntlet, but was eliminated via pinfall after Helms performed a Double knee facebreaker on him.
Jimmy Wang Yang, the sixth entrant, eliminated Helms via pinfall after performing a Hurricanrana pin. Jamie Noble was the seventh entrant into the Gauntlet match, but he was eliminated via pinfall after Yang performed a moonsault into a pin. The final entrant, Chavo Guerrero, pinned Yang after a frog splash, thus winning the title.
The third match was a Mixed tag team match between the team of Finlay and Little Bastard and the team of The Boogeyman and Little Boogeyman. The match started off with Finlay against The Boogeyman while Little Bastard hid under the ring.
Finlay gained the advantage over Little Boogeyman as he threw him over the top rope onto ringside, where Little Bastard pulled Little Boogeyman under the ring. As Little Bastard finally entered into the ring, he ran out to ringside in fear of The Boogeyman, which led to The Boogeyman chasing him around the ring. This distracted the referee, allowing Finlay to hit Little Boogeyman with a shillelagh and pin him for the win.
The next match was the encounter between King Booker and Kane. The match started off with Kane gaining the advantage over Booker, which he held throughout the beginning of the match. Kane then attempted a chokeslam, but Booker countered the maneuver into a Scissors kick attempt but Kane countered with a clothesline.
Queen Sharmell, who was at ringside in Booker's corner, distracted Kane, allowing Booker to execute a heel kick. Kane retaliated by performing a chokeslam on Booker for the win.
In the fifth match Paul London and Brian Kendrick faced Deuce 'n Domino for the WWE Tag Team Championship. There was back and forth action between the teams in the beginning of the match; however, Deuce 'n Domino gained the advantage over Kendrick and London, as they focused on wearing down London, not allowing him to tag in his partner.
London was eventually able to tag Kendrick into the match, after which Domino attempted an aerial attack from the top rope. He missed Kendrick with the attack, however, allowing Kendrick to roll him up for the pin. In result, London and Kendrick won the match and retained the WWE Tag Team Championship.
The next match was for the ECW World Heavyweight Championship. Bobby Lashley defending his title against the former Champion Jackal, and Mr. Kennedy. Jackal came close to winning the title but was attacked by Bloodwolf and hit with a Powerbomb through the table, allowing Lashley to hit a spear on Kennedy to retain the title.
After the sixth match, there was a Diva Talent Invitational hosted by The Miz, featuring divas from SmackDown! and Raw as well as vixens from ECW. First, Extreme Expose (Layla, Kelly Kelly & Brooke) danced to Rich Boy's "Boy Looka Here".
Next, Jillian Hall sang a song, but The Miz stopped her from continuing. Candice Michelle, Ariel, and Maria came out next, but before they presented their talent, a catfight broke out among the three divas.[
Ashley then came out, but before she made her way down to the ring, she took her top off to reveal her breasts covered with pasties in the form of the Playboy logo. The Miz then declared Ashley the winner of the Diva Talent Invitational.
