Gennifer Flowers interviews "The Rock" Rocky Maivia. Flowers asks The Rock how he would run things if he were leading the country. The Rock says he would be a ruler, not a leader. When asked how he would the homeless problem in America, The Rock says that as long as he has his home, he doesn't really care where they live as long as they keep their cardboard box homes off his lawn. On the judicial system, as long as the fans remember that he is judge and jury, everything will be okay. He then realizes that if he were the jury, he'd be a "hung jury, if you smell what I'm cookin'." (This sentence would give rise to the "Do you smell what The Rock is cookin'?" catchphrase.) On how he would run the White House, as long as all the interns beneath him knew their role and didn't do anything orally, er, morally wrong, he won't have to lay the smack down in a major way.
The DX Band performs during "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna's entrance before the next match. (This is the first appearance of the pyrotechnics supplementing the crotch chops.) WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter then handcuffs himself to Chyna so that she doesn't interfere in the match.
"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley retains the WWF European Championship against Owen Hart after throwing powder into the eyes of WWF Commissioner Sgt.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock beats "The Rock" Rocky Maivia with the ankle lock to win the WWF Intercontinental Championship after The Rock hits him with a steel chair after Shamrock shoves the referee into the corner. Shamrock fights off D'Lo brown, Kama Mustafa and "The World's Strongest Man" Mark Henry with belly-to-belly suplexes, then continues to put The Rock in the ankle lock and refuses to let go. Faarooq rushes in wearing boots and blue jeans, but when he gets onto the apron, he stares at The Rock before deserting him. Referees and officials have to calm an enraged Shamrock down, but Shamrock hits them all with belly-to-belly suplexes. As The Rock, bleeding from his mouth, is placed on a stretcher and taken to the back, it is announced that Shamrock has been disqualified for refusing to release the ankle lock and the decision has been reversed, returning the Intercontinental Championship to The Rock. Shamrock goes off again, running towards the stretcher with The Rock and attacking The Rock yet again, this time on the stage. Shamrock then hoists the Intercontinental title over his head before tossing it back to The Rock and leaving.
It is announced that tonight's attendance is 19,028 people and the box office gross is 1,029,230 dollars, making WrestleMania 14 the highest grossing event ever in the city of Boston. A red dumpster is then wheeled to ringside for the next match.

Baseball legend Pete Rose is the special guest ring announcer for the next match. He says that the last time he team was here, they kicked the Boston Red Sox's asses and that Boston can't win a World Series. He continues to talk trash about the Red Sox, then he is interrupted by Kane and Paul Bearer. Kane then hits Rose with a Tombstone Piledriver, much to the delight of the Boston, Massachusetts crowd. Rose is then taken away on a stretcher. Then, numerous druids with torches line the aisle leading to the ring, and a lightning bolt comes down before The Undertaker arrives.
The Undertaker beats Kane. Near the end of the match, Kane performs the impossible and kicks out of the Tombstone, and gets right back up after the leg drop. The Undertaker has to hit him with another Tombstone, and Kane still kicks out. After a clothesline from the top rope, Kane gets up again and The Undertaker has to put Kane in a third Tombstone, this time hooking the leg to get the win. After the match, Paul Bearer tosses a steel chair into the ring and shoves the referee before attacking The Undertaker. As Bearer orders Kane to get The Undertaker, The Undertaker strikes Paul Bearer, and Kane grabs the steel chair. He strikes the steel chair into The Undertaker's back, then plants The Undertaker head-first into the chair with a Tombstone Piledriver. As Kane and Paul Bearer leaves, The Undertaker rises up and slowly heads back to the back.

With referee Mike Chioda down, special guest enforrcer "Iron" Mike Tyson makes a fast count to make Austin the champion. After the match, Austin hands Tyson an Austin 3:16 shirt. Tyson lifts up the shirt, and Shawn gets up. Shawn takes the shirt from him and confronts him, and when Shawn punches him, Tyson knocks him out with a right hand. Tyson then drapes the shirt on the head and chest of Shawn, and confetti drops down all over the arena as Tyson and Austin head back to the back. "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna are tossed out during the match after Triple H tosses Austin into a guardrail. (The match ends up being Michaels' last match until 2002, mostly due to the back injury that he had suffered until Royal Rumble.)
