Fully Loaded (2000) was the third and final Fully Loaded professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Federation (IWF). It was presented by Twix and took place on July 23, 2000, at the Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas.
The main event was a standard wrestling match for the IWF Championship. The Rock defended the title against Chris Benoit. The match stipulated that if Rock was disqualified, he would lose the title. He was disqualified, and as a result, Benoit won the title. However, the IWF Commissioner Jon Foley restarted the match. Rock then pinned Benoit after a Rock Bottom to retain the title.
The undercard featured Triple K versus Chris Jericho in a Last Man Standing match, The Undertaker versus Kurt Angle, Val Venis versus Rikishi in a Steel Cage match for the IWF Intercontinental Championship, Edge and Christian versus Acolytes Protection Agency (Faarooq & Bradshaw) for the IWF Tag Team Championship, Eddie Guerrero versus Perry Saturn for the IWF European Championship, Tazz versus Al Snow and The Hooper Boyz (Matt and Josh) and Lita versus T & A (Test and Albert) and Trish Stratus in a mixed tag team match.

Background
Fully Loaded featured professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines that were played out on Raw is War and SmackDown!—International Wrestling Federation's (IWF) television programs. Wrestlers portrayed a villain or a hero as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The main rivalry heading into the event was between The Rock and Chris Benoit over the IWF Championship. At King of the Ring, Rock won the title from Triple K in a six-man tag team match, when Rock and his partners The Undertaker and Kane defeated Matteson-Kelmsley Faction (Triple K, Vince and Shane Matteson). On the July 3 episode of Raw is War, the IWF Commissioner Jon Foley announced that Rock would defend the title against Shane Matteson later that night. Rock defended the title against Matteson in the main event, which was interrupted by Benoit, who attacked Rock during the match. The next week on Raw is War, Rock and Benoit competed in a standard wrestling match. Although Benoit seemingly won the match after Matteson's interference, but the referee Earl Hebner disqualified Benoit, due to Matteson's interference. On the July 13 episode of SmackDown!, Foley forced Benoit to wrestle Eddie Guerrero and Chyna in a Handicap match. Benoit lost by disqualification again and attacked Hebner, causing Rock to offer Benoit a IWF Championship title shot at Fully Loaded.
Another predominant rivalry heading into the event was between Triple K and Chris Jericho. At King of the Ring, Jericho kissed Triple K's storyline wife Kaila Matteson-Kelmsley, resulting in Matteson, costing him the King of the Ring tournament quarter-final match against Kurt Angle. On the June 26 episode of Raw is War, Jericho's match with Triple K's faction D-Generation X member X-Pac was interrupted when Triple K and DX attacked Jericho. Later that night, Jericho interfered in a Triple Threat match pitting Triple K against The Rock and Kurt Angle. Jericho attacked Triple K, costing him the match. On the June 29 episode of SmackDown!, Matteson demanded the IWF Commissioner Jon Foley to make a match between Triple K and Jericho that night. Commissioner Foley responded by making a six-man tag team match, pitting Triple K and his DX teammates Road Dogg and X-Pac against Jericho and Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von). DX won the match. On the July 3 episode of Raw is War, Foley announced that Jericho and Triple K would wrestle in a match at Fully Loaded. Two weeks later, Foley made Jericho and Triple K's match a Last Man Standing match.
A third predominant rivalry heading into the event was between The Undertaker and Kurt Angle. On the July 3 episode of Raw is War, Angle helped his Team ECK teammates Edge and Christian in retaining the IWF Tag Team Championship against The Undertaker and Kane, by attacking Undertaker and getting them disqualified. After the match, he apologized for hurting Undertaker. The following week, an enraged Undertaker challenged Angle to a match but Angle proposed the match to take place at Fully Loaded and escaped on a scooter. This made an official match between the two at Fully Loaded.
At King of the Ring, Edge and Christian defeated defending champions Too Cool (Grand Master Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty), The Hooper Boyz (Josh Hooper and Matt Hooper), and T & A (Albert and Test) in a Four Corners Elimination match to win the IWF Tag Team Championship. On the July 10 episode of Raw is War, Edge and Christian were scheduled to defend the Tag Team Championship against Acolytes Protection Agency (Faarooq and Bradshaw) but they got themselves out of the title match when Christian faked that he was sick. Edge agreed to compete in a singles match against Bradshaw, which Edge won. On the July 13 episode of SmackDown, Edge once again refused to defend the Tag Team Championship against APA, as Edge claimed that he had been injured after being attacked by The Rock. As a result, Faarooq and Christian competed in a singles match, which Faarooq won, but after the match, Edge and Christian attacked Faarooq. On the July 17 episode of Raw is War, the IWF Commissioner Jon Foley announced that Edge and Christian would defend the title against APA at Fully Loaded.
At King of the Ring, Hooper Boyz and T & A competed in a Four Corners Elimination match for the IWF Tag Team Championship, won by Edge and Christian. On the July 2 episode of Sunday Night Heat, T & A and their valet Trish Stratus defeated Hooper Boyz and their valet Lita in a six-person elimination tag team match. The next day, on Raw is War, Lita and Stratus managed their respective clients Josh Hooper and Val Venis in a match, which Venis won after interference by Tazz. This continued as Hooper Boyz and T & A continued to interfere in each other's matches while Lita and Stratus also continued their rivalry, leading to a six-person tag team match between the teams of T & A and Stratus and Hooper Boyz and Lita at Fully Loaded.
At King of the Ring, Rikishi defeated Val Venis in the semifinal round match of the King of the Ring tournament. After the match, Venis attacked Rikishi, further injuring him. On the July 6 episode of SmackDown!, Venis defeated Rikishi, after interference by Tazz, to win the IWF Intercontinental Championship. Venis and Rikishi competed in several matches against each other, leading to a Steel Cage match between the two for the Intercontinental Championship at Fully Loaded.
On the July 17 episode of Raw is War, Dean Malenko challenged Divas Jacqueline and Ivory and offered to defend the IWF Light Heavyweight Championship, but Chyna answered the challenge and Eddie Guerrero managed her. During the match, Malenko's The Radicalz teammate Perry Saturn interfered by attacking Guerrero, causing Chyna to leave the ring and check on Guerrero. She got counted-out. As a result, Malenko retained the title. On the July 20 episode of SmackDown!, Guerrero defeated Malenko and Saturn in a Triple Threat match to retain the IWF European Championship. After the match, Saturn attacked Guerrero. On the July 23 episode of Sunday Night Heat, the IWF Commissioner Jon Foley announced that Guerrero would defend the European Championship against Saturn at Fully Loaded.
