Neidhart calls himself The Hart Foundation, and says he's pulled Bret "Hit Man" Hart out of so many situations and gotten no thanks at all from it. As for his attack on Bret at King of the Ring, he only saved the title so Bret's brother, "The King of Harts" Owen Hart, would take it from Bret personally. Neidhart then introduces Owen Hart himself, who comes down the aisle in his King of the Ring regalia. Owen Hart says everything just as he and Neidhart have planned, and he repeats his first proclamation to be known as "The King of Harts." Owen then tells brother Bret that he is stepping out of his shadow and that he can beat him again for the WWF Championship. Owen states he needs just one shot to do it. Lawler tells Owen to come back as WWF Champion, and Owen says he'll keep to that promise.

The Headshrinkers (Samu and Fatu) beat The Executioners (Pain and Agony). During the match, it is announced that there is business happening backstage between "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and an as of yet unknown second party.

After "The King" Jerry Lawler makes excuses for losing to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper at King of the Ring, he calls the crowd "garbage" and brings out tonight's guest, whom he claims looks just like them: Duke "The Dumpster" Droese. He tells Droese to stay out of the ring and "downwind of him." Droese tells Lawler he stinks too much even for him. Lawler is still stung that Droese dumped garbage on him on Superstars, and interrupts Droese every time he tries to speak. Droese finally has enough and walks out, but Lawler runs out of the ring and attacks Droese with his own trash can.

The Heavenly Bodies (Dr. Tom Pritchard and "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray) beat Russ Greenberg and Jim Powers.

Earlier this afternoon, the WWF Supertars and the United States Marines and Coast Guard participated in a D-Day Challenge.

It's time for The King's Court. He says that everyone should be kissing his royal feet, as that will be the treatment he will be receiving at King of the Ring. He then introduces this week's guest, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper...or so we think. The person who shows up is a very skinny guy who impersonates Piper down to his accent, much to Lawler's pleasure and Piper's expense. He wants to back out, so Lawler lets him kiss his feet and crawl on his knees out of the ring, which he does.

Razor Ramon beats Keith Davis. (Believe it or not, this is the WWE debut of Jeff Hardy, who wrestled under the Keith Davis name for that night after the original guy scheduled to face Razor Ramon backed out at the last minute.)
