As Owen leaves, he says to the camera that Bret is selfish and only cares about himself. Bret has to be helped back to the back. Todd Pettengill interviews Owen Hart in the locker room. Owen calls Bret selfish for costing him the tag team titles and said that Bret just had to tag him in. As for the Royal Rumble match, Owen says Bret cost himself the match, and not only says that Bret doesn't care about him, but that he doesn't care about Bret. He plans on winning the Royal Rumble match to get back at Bret. (Note: This is where the infamous "That's why I kicked your leg out of your leg" line comes from.)

Irwin R. Schyster beats Razor Ramon to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship after Shawn Michaels hits Razor Ramon from behind with his Intercontinental title belt, then leaves it behind.

Yokozuna retains the WWF Championship against The Undertaker in a Casket Match thanks to the help of Crush, The Great Kabuki, Tenryu, Bam Bam Bigelow, Adam Bomb, Jeff Jarrett, Samu, Fatu, and Diesel. Undertaker's fate is further sealed when Yokozuna opens the urn, causing the urn's power to escape in a flowing waft of green smoke. After the match, all ten men along with Mr. Fuji, Jim Cornette and Afa push the casket - containing Undertaker - to the back when green smoke suddenly emanates from it. On the TitanTron, the inside of the casket is shown...and Undertaker wakes up, saying that his spirit lives within the soul of all mankind and cannot be extinguished, and that all mankind will soon witness his rebirth, as he will not rest in peace. Undertaker's soul then rises from the TitanTron image, and through the ceiling of the arena. Paul Bearer is soon seen paying tribute to 'Taker before pushing the casket to the back.
We hear from some of the participants of this year's Royal Rumble match: "Macho Man" Randy Savage, "Double J" Jeff Jarrett, Tatanka, Diesel, Doink, Shawn Michaels, and Lex Luger.
In a shocking twist, Lex Luger and Bret Hart, the last two men in the ring and the latter still hurting from the tag team match with his brother-turned-enemy Owen Hart, seemingly eliminate each other from the Royal Rumble match at the same time. The referees cannot tell who landed outside of the ring first, and at first, Luger is declared the winner, but then the decision is reversed and Hart is declared the winner. However, the referees still quarrel, and the results of the Royal Rumble match are in doubt. Jack Tunney shows up, however, and both men are declared co-winners after three replays from various angles show that both men landed outside of the ring at the same time. Both men give a very brief handshake before leaving.
During the Rumble...
Kwang makes his televised debut.
It is revealed that Tenryu and The Great Kabuki attacked Lex Luger earlier today.
It is also revealed that Virgil is an alternate for Kamala. It doesn't take long for Diesel to eliminate him, however.
Crush eliminates "Macho Man" Randy Savage.
Thurman "Sparky" Plugg shows up an an alternate for The 1-2-3 Kid, who currently has a bad knee.
Diesel is eliminated after Shawn Michaels shows up and Diesel teases turning on him. Diesel has the most eliminations this year with seven.
It takes seven men to eliminate Mabel.
Lex Luger eliminates The Great Kabuki by himself, and eliminates Tenryu with the help of Bret "Hit Man" Hart.
Bret Hart somehow shows up two numbers late, despite still hurting from his match earlier. Nevertheless, the numbering for the Royal Rumble match is undisturbed. It is later revealed to be Bastion Booger, who became sick prior to the Rumble.
