Due to Shawn Michaels' failure to appear for a number of WWF Intercontinental Championship defenses and his refusal to fulfill his contractual obligations, WWF President Jack Tunney declares that Shawn Michaels is hereby suspended and that the Intercontinental Championship is officially vacant. As a result, there will be a 20-man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal. The last two men in the match will square off the following week to decide a new WWF Intercontinental Champion.
Tatanka and "The Model" Rick Martel fight to a double count-out.
Joe Fowler names the participants in the 20-Man Over The Top Intercontinental Championship Battle Royal: Irwin R. Schyster, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Adam Bomb, Giant Gonzales, Mr. Perfect, "The Rocket" Owen Hart, Rick Martel, Jimmy Snuka, Bob Backlund, Jacques and Pierre of the Quebecers, Razor Ramon, Mabel, Diesel, MVP, The 1-2-3 Kid, Bam Bam Bigelow, Marty Janetty, Tatanka, and Bastion Booger.
Ludvig Borga beats Phil Apollo by submission.
"Superfly" Jimmy Snuka beats Paul Van Dale in a one-night only appearance. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan talks to Crush via telephone, and it becomes very apparent that there are sour feelings between Crush and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Irwin R. Schsyter tells Vince McMahon (and especially Razor Ramon) that Razor Ramon made a big mistake costing him his match against P.J. Walker last week, and that he promises to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship. ("Mr. Rotundo" is I.R.S.'s real name.")
Bobby "The Brain" Heenan interviews Barry Horowitz, one of the men chosen for a shot at the WWF World Tag Team Championships. His partner for tonight, Reno Riggins, is at home sick, and chooses The 1-2-3 Kid as his partner after The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) and Johnny Polo confer with one another and allow for a substitution.
As Barry Horowitz and The 1-2-3 Kid take on The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre), Jacques is knocked out cold and must be returned to the back on a stretcher. Pierre has to defend the WWF World Tag Championships on his own.
The Quebecers (Jacques and Pierre) retain the WWF World Tag Team Championships against Barry Horowitz and The 1-2-3 Kid after Johnny Polo tosses a downed Kid back into the ring, despite Jacques being knocked out for the rest of the match.
Vince McMahon interviews Razor Ramon outside of the ring. He tells all challengers for the Intercontinental Championship - especially "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Irwin R. Schyster - that he's not too hard to find.
