Sycho Sid beats "The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels to become the WWF Champion after Sycho Sid grabs a camera from the broadcast crew and hits Jose Lothario off the apron with it when Jose confronts him. This leads to Shawn being distracted by a downed Jose Lothario, and Sid takes advantage of it by dragging Shawn back into the ring. Shawn goes for a top rope cross body only for Sid to duck it and have Shawn hit the referee instead. As the referee is down, Shawn checks on Jose Lothario only for Sid to strike him down with the same camera that he struck Lothario with. Sid then drags Shawn back into the ring and hits the powerbomb just as the ref comes to to get the three count. After the match, the WWF Championship is the least of Shawn's worries as he goes back to checking on Jose Lothario, who is placed on a stretcher and taken to an ambulance.
