"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. He says that "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and the nWo are entitled to walk their own way in life, but when it comes to wrestlers like himself, "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, Sting, Lex Luger, The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner), "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, Steve "Mongo" McMichael and a list of others, they are WCW. Even though he is out of action for now, he promises that before all is said and done, WCW will be dancing all night and staying a little longer and the nWo will be theirs.
Sting is spotted walking on the rafters during the next match, just before he walks down some stairs and makes his way down to the ring, where he hits Jarrett with the reverse DDT once again to allow The Giant to hit Jarrett with the choke slam. The Giant beats Jeff Jarrett in a return grudge match.
"Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows up with a contract in his hand, as we see that a table in the center of the ring. Piper wastes no time in calling out "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan so they can get this contract signing over with. Instead of Hogan, Piper gets Ted DiBiase, Vincent...and Eric Bischoff, who is now wearing a New World Order shirt underneath his leather jacket. Bischoff tells Piper that Hogan is busy looking at movie scripts, but he did give Bischoff his power of attorney earlier today. Piper tells Vincent to get out of his way as he taught him out to fight, then calls Bischoff an "Eddie Munster look-alike" who is one of the new kids on the block. He could care less if Bischoff and the nWo took over WCW, but he doesn't trust him and says he'll always be tougher than Bischoff to the point that he can always wear a kilt. Bischoff tells him to be careful or else he could fine him, and Piper asks how much of a fine he could get just for knocking Bischoff out. He tells Bischoff he will fight Hogan on December 29th, and he wants nothing less than the fight of the century. Hogan shows up with the rest of the New World Order and tells Piper he has a problem now. Piper tells Hogan to get in the ring and sign the contract. Hogan gets in and tells Piper that he's used to facing people who are his equal, and when Piper was his equal ten years ago, he couldn't get it done. He then commands Piper to "show them the hip." Piper does just that, but Hogan reveals his other hip, which has a scar running down it. Hogan tells Piper he doesn't usually "pick on cripples" or "people like Pegleg Pete," but since the whole world likes him and wants to see the war that didn't settle the score, he calls it a pleasure to sign the contract - which he does - and says Piper won't have a leg to stand on since he can't wait to take on a gimp. Piper smacks Hogan, but the rest of the nWo grabs him so Hogan can punch him a few times. This starts a brawl between Hogan and Piper, and the nWo holds down Piper again so that Hogan can hit Piper's scar with a steel chair and a running forearm. Hogan then spray paints "NWO" on Piper's leg before telling him he will break him in half and spitting on him. Piper, however, still gets up as the nWo leaves, and topples the table to the mat, still eager to fight. Piper tells Hogan if that's the best he can do, then he's in trouble as it will be no retreat and no surrender.
Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) beat The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) after a double team involving the steel steps and a table from Rougeau and Ouellet as the ref is down fails.

Robert Parker as a result of Harlem Heat winning, but Rougeau helps Parker get out of dodge before those five minutes are up.

The World War 3 match starts with "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and The Taskmaster fighting in the crowd and picking up where they left off last night, with the rest of The Dungeon of Doom and The Four Horsement joining in, leading to everyone in both factions eliminated. Meanwhile, the nWo stays in one corner in Ring #2 and lets everyone else do all the work. At one point, Lee Marshall, who is on commentary for the match, is nailed during the fighting outside of the ring and is actually kicked in the head and chest by The Faces of Fear (Meng and The Barbarian) while on the floor.
