During the match, The Blue Meanie distracts referee Jimmy Korderas so that Goldust can toss powder into The Godfather's face.

Before the next match, Debra shows up in a two-piece swimsuit with a red suit jacket over it. "Road Dogg" Jesse James says everyone came here for two reasons, and tells Debra to "show us those puppies." Debra is about to take the jacket off when Jeff Jarrett stops her. Road Dogg tells Jarrett that kind of control is for The Jerry Springer Show, but Jarrett continues to keep Debra from taking her jacket off. Road Dogg says Jarrett and Owen Hart may be spoilsports, but he and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn are not, and tells Gunn to "show 'em that ass!" Owen attacks Billy Gunn from behind, starting the next match.

Michael Cole interviews "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Chyna. Chyna says they always get what they want, but they do not want an ungrateful punk who forgot how he got in the WWF and who put him over in the first place. She tells X-Pac that there is a pecking order in the WWF, and that it is time somebody put him in his place. Triple H tells X-Pac he made his decision and asked for this, and now he's going to get it. He tells X-Pac he made his ass, and now he is going to break it.
We see footage of "The Big Show" Paul Wight finding out he will need a few stitches in his head and right hand, the latter of which has been dislocated. Meanwhile, Mankind says he does not want to face Big Show anymore as he has kids. He then takes a trip down memory lane in the boiler room.
"Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats X-Pac in a match that sees Triple H with a new aggressive streak and X-Pac hurt his neck in the middle of the match. During the match, X-Pac accidentally drills referee Mike Chioda with a baseball slide to the head before hitting Triple H with the X-Factor. Chyna then gets in the ring and hits X-Pac with a low blow followed by an inverted DDT before placing Triple H on top of X-Pac. Suddenly, Kane shows up and tries to choke slam Chyna, but when Triple H gets involved, he gets choke slammed before the same happens to Chyna. He then places Triple H and Chyna in opposite corners, then leaves just as Chioda comes to and gets back in the ring. X-Pac hits both Triple H and Chyna with the Bronco Buster. Triple H is able to get back up, however, and hit X-Pac with the Pedigree to win the match.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin retains the WWF Championship against The Rock in a match with WWF co-owner Shane McMahon as special guest referee. During the match, The Rock not only speaks into a headset from the Spanish commentary team, but he also gets a camera and mocks Austin before flipping him off, panning through the crowd and then panning back to Austin only for Austin to get back on his feet and hit a Stone Cold Stunner. When the match gets back in the ring, The Rock pushes Austin into Shane, but instead of disqualifying Austin and costing him the WWF Championship, he places The Rock's arm on Austin only for Austin to kick out. Shane then grabs the WWF Championship belt and waits for Austin to get back up. Both Austin and The Rock get on their feet at the same time, and Shane accidentally hits The Rock. When it comes time to make the pinfall for Austin, he flips him off instead of counting to three, proving his word to be worth nothing. WWF co-owner Vince McMahon shows up with Austin's custom-made WWF Championship belt, and when Shane confronts him, Vince hits in the head with it and sends Earl Hebner into the ring. The Rock hits Austin with the WWF Championship, but Austin kicks out and hits The Rock with the title and hits a Stunner to retain the WWF Championship. After the match, Vince pushes Austin's custom-made belt to Austin, effectively handing it back to him.
Stephanie McMahon is still in the limousine, near the police. When The Ministry of Darkness show up, the police give the signal for the limo to speed away immediately. Stephanie asks the driver to stop and wait for her father Vince McMahon, but the divider opens and The Undertaker is revealed to be the driver. The Undertaker asks "Where to, Stephanie?" and laughs as Stephanie screams.
