One Night Only - The Results

Before the next match, Dude Love does his best British accent, saying he and Hunter Hearst Helmsley are in a bit of a row tonight, and that after the match is over, maybe he and Chyna could do a little bit of "groovin'." He also says he's missing two teeth, but they're gone and he doesn't miss them.

We see predictions from the fans outside of the arena concerning "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs. The British Bulldog for the WWF European Championship.

Sunny is guest ring announcer for the next match.

Before the next match, Tiger Ali Singh says he is a proud Indian-Canadian, and asks the children of the world to stay drug-free like him as he is the true messiah. With all the love and support of his Canadian fans, they will set the wrestling world on fire. His father Tiger Jeet Singh then translates for him in his native language.

The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Los Boricuas (Savio Vega and Miguel Perez). The Headbangers celebrate with the crowd after the match.

We see an interview from earlier today between Jim Ross and The British Bulldog. Bulldogs says it will be very special to defend the European title in his homeland as his family will be there. His sister Tracy, who has battled cancer twice, will be in the crowd, and he will dedicate the match to her. His mother, father, wife, brother and bodybuilding trainer will also be in the crowd tonight as well. He has dropped about two stone - about 28 pounds - in preparation for the match to match "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels in speed, though Shawn cannot match him in strength. Bulldog then says it will be the biggest match of his career and one of the biggest events he's ever stepped foot in.

The Patriot - who receives a lot of boos from the Birmingham crowd during the match - beats Flash Funk.

The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) says tonight is the biggest event the United Kingdom will ever see as they tell The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) they will be going down as they have not forgotten what they have done to them as of late.

Jim Ross interviews "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock in the ring. It is announced that Shamrock suffered internal injuries in his match against Faarooq on Raw and that he will be replaced by Vader in his match against Owen Hart tonight. Shamrock said if it were up to him, he'd be in the dressing room right now, but he has found out that he has a punctured lung, which caused him to cough up blood. He refuses to lie down, and he says he will be back. He thanks the United Kingdom for their ovation, though he is devastated he cannot compete tonight. As he speaks, Rockabilly shows up, saying a doctor wrote him an excuse for a stomachache so he couldn't compete tonight and confronts him for putting him in the ankle lock, saying Shamrock makes his sick. Rockabilly slaps Shamrock, and Shamrock responds by whipping him around the ring before putting him in the ankle lock. A few referees rush in to coerce Shamrock to break the hold, then Shamrock leaves.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart says he still likes to believe in his heart that he's the champion he was years ago and that he has the greatest fans in the UK, and that he doesn't understimate The Undertaker. He plans to fight fire with fire and do the best that he can. He says that The Undertaker is a great wrestler and the hardest fight he'll ever had, but he's not heading into the ring expecting the worst as he has home field advantage. When told that the UK fans don't exactly like him, Bret says that maybe they should start liking him again.

Vader beats Owen Hart after reversing a top rope cross body into a power slam.

The Undertaker tells Bret "The Hit Man" Hart he has only one night to prove to all the world that he deserves to be World Wrestling Federation Champion, as "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels won't be the special guest referee and that he will have to face him one-on-one without someone waiting in the wings to hit him with a chair. He says that Bret may have all the fans across the world convinced he is their savior, he is really a demon and he will expose him as that demon. He recognizes no boundaries; only creatures, of which Bret is not. When the night ends, Bret will prepare to rest in peace.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats The Undertaker by disqualification and retains the WWF Championship after Bret's neck is tied up in the ropes and The Undertaker refuses to listen to the referee and keeps attacking Hart. The referee is choke slammed, and as Gerald Brisco, Owen Hart and Dave Hebner try to get Bret free, Brisco gets choke slammed as well.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels says he will walk into the ring and become the first Grand Slam winner in the World Wrestling Federation and hold every title there is. He says you haven't seen the showstopper until you see him, and he is on his way to the ring.

Before the next match, The British Bulldog is accompanied on the way to the ring by his sister Tracy.

After constant interference from "Ravishing" Rick Rude, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels beats The British Bulldog to win the WWF European Championship after ripping the knee brace from British Bulldog's knee, tossing the brace out into the crowd to Diana Hart Smith (who is seen in the second row) and locking in the Figure Four Leg Lock while Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna grab on to Shawn's arms, unbeknownst to the referee. The fans throw trash into the ring as Shawn tells the fans to look at their Grand Slam champion before telling Diana Hart Smith "This is for you" before putting Bulldog in the Figure Four again. Diana jumps over the guardrail and tries to pull Shawn off him, but Chyna pulls Diana off Bulldog. Owen Hart and Bret "The Hit Man" Hart rush into the ring, and Helmsley, Shawn and Chyna retreat before bragging about what they have done and carrying Shawn off to the back.
