In Your House 18: Badd Blood - The Results

It is announced before the show and at the beginning of the show that Brian Pillman had passed away in hotel room earlier today. At the start of the show, it is announced that there will not be any further updates until tomorrow morning.

The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) tells The Nation of Domination (D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) that they are not impressed with how Faarooq injured "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock and tells them that they will face them without a third man.

The Nation of Domination (D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia) beat The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) after Faarooq distracts Animal. (This match is perhaps the first in which The Rock performs what will be known as the Rock Bottom.)

Sunny and Dok Hendrix announces that they will have post-match interviews with the winners and losers at Badd Blood on Option 5 of the WWF Superstar Line.

Sunny is guest ring announcer for the next match.

The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn) beat The Headbangers (Thrasher and Mosh) to win the WWF Tag Team Championships after Uncle Cletus stops Thrasher from saving the match. The Godwinns and Uncle Cletus then go on the attack after the match, and are threatened with being stripped with the titles if they do not get out of the ring, and The Godwinns and Uncle Cletus leave.

Owen Hart interrupts Michael Cole backstage, saying that all "Stone Cold" Steve Austin will be doing is handing the WWF Intercontinental Championship and asking WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaugher and the WWF officials to keep Austin away from him or else there will be a lawsuit.

Jim Ross pays tribute to the rich wrestling history of St. Louis, Missouri by introducing and honoring former three-year NWA World Heavyweight Champion and "Canada's Greatest Athlete" Gene Kiniski, former NWA World Tag Team and three-year NWA World Heavyweight Champion Jack Brisco, former four-year NWA World Heavyweight Champion Dory Funk Jr., seven-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion "Handsome" Harley Race, former NWA World Heavyweight Champion Terry Funk, St. Louis promoter and former NWA President Sam Muchnick and former NWA World Heavyweight Champion (both youngest and oldest ever) Lou Thesz. All of them are honored with awards and plaques in the ring.

Dok Hendrix interviews The Nation of Domination (Faarooq, D'Lo Brown, Kama Mustafa, Rocky Maivia). Faarooq does not consider "Stone Cold" Steve Austin a "trump card" and calls him "just another name," and says he will show what The Nation is all about in his match against Owen Hart tonight.

It is announced that there is no foul play involved and the possibility of a drug overdose in Brian Pillman's death, but results will not be forthcoming for another week.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin arrives with the WWF Intercontinental Championship, and rings the bell with a wrench before ripping Vince McMahon's headset off his head to talk trash to both Owen Hart and Faarooq. He spends the match goofing around on a security walkie-talking and forcefully guesting on Spanish and French commentary, with Austin inviting himself to next month's Survivor Series on November 9th.

Owen Hart beats Faarooq to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship and the Intercontinental Championship tournament when Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart shows up and distracts the referee and WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter only for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin to plaster Faarooq in the head with the Intercontinental title.

It is announced that the Flag Match between The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and The British Bulldog) and the team of The Patriot and Vader can be won by capturing the team's own country's flag, by pinfall or by submission.

The Disciples of Apocalypse (Crush, Chainz, Skull, 8-Ball) beat Los Boricuas (Savio Vega, Miguel Perez, Jesus Castillo, Jose Estrada Jr.).

Michael Cole interviews The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and The British Bulldog). Bret says the Americans are dreaming if they think they will lose, and that he and The British Bulldog will prove that they are better than any two Americans in the ring. Bulldog says the Canadian flag will be the only flag flying as they will be victorious tonight.

Dok Hendrix interviews Vader and The Patriot. Patriot says he and The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart, Owen Hart, The British Bulldog, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart) have had their problems, and that he will settle this once and for all. Vader calls Bret's claims of being the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be "a bunch of bullshit" and admits they don't have much in common except that they don't like big-mouthed Canadians trash-talking America. Vader then says that tonight, he and The Patriot will play the pain game.

The Hart Foundation (Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and The British Bulldog) beat Vader and The Patriot in a Flag Match. A fan is seen trying to get in the ring near the end of the match, but he is quickly apprehended by security.

Dok Hendrix interviews Shawn. Shawn says the good news is that the next match is not for the European Championship, but the bad news is that the only way out is through a locked door. Shawn says the only thing that can get him through this is his tenacity and greatness, and the fact that nobody else is crazier than him when it comes to doing something like the Hell In A Cell match.

WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter and a referee check underneath the ring to see if anyone is hiding there. (During the ring entrances, Hunter Hearst Helmsley is addressed as "Triple H" for the first time.)

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels beats The Undertaker in a Hell In A Cell Match to face Bret "The Hit Man" Hart for the WWF Championship at Survivor Series. During the match, a cameraman inside of the cell is take n out by Shawn, and when WWF Commissioner Sgt Slaughter gets into the cage to check on the cameraman and get him out of there, all hell breaks loose and Shawn and 'Taker fight both outside and on top of the cell before Shawn falls into the English announce table. The deciding factor, however, comes in the form of a masked man in red and black who is accompanied by Paul Bearer. This man, who is the same size as The Undertaker, rips the door to the cell clean off its hinges, attacks the referee and briefly fights 'Taker before putting him in a Tombstone Piledriver. His identity is best described by Vince McMahon's reaction on commentary: "It's gotta be...it's gotta be Kane!" After Kane and Bearer leave, Shawn gets the pinfall after the referee comes to, and Shawn is carried to the back by Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna to end the show.
