Hak shows up with a cigarette in his mouth, much to the irritation of the commentary team, of which Eric Bischoff is part of again this week for part of the show. When WCW Executive Committee Chairman J.J. Dillon tells Hak to put the cigarette so the match can started, but Hak blows cigarette smoke in his face and says "Make me." Eric Bischoff gets in the ring and tries to reasonably tell him to put out the cigarette. At this point, Hak blows smoke in his face, and WCW security gets in the ring. Bischoff smacks Hak in the face, and security holds Hak back. Bischoff then takes the cigarette out of Hak's mouth, and tells them to let him wrestle instead of ringing the bell.
Hak beats Prince Iaukea after Chastity sprays Iaukea in the eyes with a fire extinguisher before Hak put Iaukea into, but not through, a table. After the match, Brian Knobbs, Jimmy Hart and Hugh Morrus run into the ring and go after Hak, but Kidman shows up and takes out Morrus from the top rope before fighting him, Knobbs and Hart. Knobbs and Morrus then brawl with Hak and Kidman, and Morrus and Knobbs come out on top.
We see a performance by The Nitro Girls.
Before the next match, Eric Bischoff spoils that Vince McMahon is "the higher power" on WWF programming, and also says that he is not as powerful as he says he is as he is dealing with a $110 million lawsuit (a reference to the Hart family suing the World Wrestling Federation over Owen Hart's death).
Scotty Riggs beats Lenny Lane. During the match, Lodi shows up. It is noted that his fingernails are painted purple and has purple bead bracelets around his wrists. He is also seen talking to Lenny Lane when he is tossed out of the ring by Scotty Riggs.
WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair is in his office with "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, trying to renew Benoit's confidence in him and make Benoit see him as the man, the wrestler and the legend, not WCW President. He wants to sell him on being a Horseman, and asks for another opportunity for him to trust him. Benoit tells Flair he has always had the utmost respect for him due to all the opportunities he gave him, but after last week, it is no longer unconditional; it is conditional and questionable at best. Flair tells Benoit he doesn't get it, and says all he and "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson did was prove they are the two greatest professional wrestlers alive, and says there should be no reason why he and Benoit should be butting heads when they could be kicking somebody's head. He says that Benoit is great and he wants to pass the torch to him, saying he is "the man in waiting." Flair tells Benoit he will make it good for him tonight. He talks about how four or five years ago were the hardest time of his life due to the falling out between himself and Anderson, and that they had to walk the aisle from separate dressing rooms until they got back together. He asks Benoit to trust in him again and let him be the Ric Flair he was when The Four Horseman reunited. Benoit tells Flair he will consider it. Saturn suddenly shows up, and asks for a rematch for the tag team titles against Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow now that Kanyon is medically cleared. Flair passive-aggressively threatens to go for the tag team titles with Benoit, but Saturn is having none of it, and says he doesn't care if he and Benoit are tag team champions. He will get the tag team titles back somehow. Flair and Benoit agree on going for the tag team titles, especially considering DDP and Bigelow laid him out last week, and Flair is happy to have re-united with Benoit.
"Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with the bucket of raw sewage, as does Madusa, Gorgeous George and Miss Madness. Savage says Kevin Nash is nowhere in the building, and he has looked everywhere. He says a man in his position cannot afford to look ridiculous, and tells Kevin Nash he messed up big time. He says it is no surprise that Nash is not here tonight, and that he will have to wait until The Great American Bash to take his title. He says it is now personal after what he did last week, and now Nash is playing "kid games" with "the lord and master of game players." He says Nash is not off the hook, even though he is, for he is the man. He says that he is on a higher level than Nash, and that there is nothing Nash can do about it. He then talks about the raw sewage in the bucket, which he says he got last week. He says if Nash had the guts - which he says that he does not - he would be right here on Nitro. Now, he owes everyone in the building and in WCW responsible, and says it has hit the fan and it is on. He says that since Nash does not have the guts and is not here tonight, he wants an opponent. He doesn't care if it is even five guys or ten guys or thirty guys, as the raw sewage will be dumped on the man with the guts to come out to the ring and face him. Suddenly, Sting shows up, and tells Savage that since it is Monday Nitro and he is back in black - and since Savage is pretty in pink - he and Savage will face each other tonight. Savage says he cannot believe Sting is that stupid, but for entertainment value, since he has all the money and women he needs in his or anybody's lifetime - he will pretend that Sting is a tune-up for The Great American Bash, he will grant Sting his wish, as he belives Sting needs a shampoo job and he knows where to put the conditioner on. Sting tells Savage it's showtime, and says "Macho Madness" is on Viagra. Savage tells Sting that he is really going to get it as Sting heads to the back. He then tells Kevin Nash to watch what he does to a man called Sting.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
Kevin Nash shows up with a bag and a chair. He tells "Macho Man" Randy Savage he knows he is not on his way out yet because he cannot smell him. He says he showed up a little late, and that his wrestling gear is in the bag. He knows that Savage has said he does not like to be made to look ridiculous, and begs Savage to look in the mirror before he makes his way to the ring. Nash tells Savage that if he wants a piece of him, he is out here waiting. Savage shows up with his bucket of raw sewage, saying Nash is a stupid man and that he is not in his league. Miss Madness, Madusa and Gorgeous George show up as Nash says that Savage has stinked as his career has progressed through the last couple of years. Savage says that nobody has made him look ridiculous like Nash has, and says this is Nash's day to tell everyone that he is a monkey who made a ridiculous mistake and that he is not on this level. Nash asks Savage why he has brought one bag to the ring while Savage has brought three as he runs away. Savage asks Nash where he is going, and wants Nash in the ring. Nash tells Savage that if he wants a piece of him, he'll have to put down the bucket, have Madusa, George and Miss Madness open the ring ropes. He then tells Savage to beg him for a fight tonight, and Savage gets down on one knee to beg the big Macho Man in the sky that Nash has what it takes to come into the ring, as this will never happen again. As this goes on, Kevin Nash's bag moves from the inside. A girl pops out, takes the bucket of raw sewage and dumps it all over Savage before fleeing through the crowd. Commentary breaks into laughter as Nash says "Smellin' good, Mach, smellin' good!" and "You look sweet wearin' corn, big boy!" Savage chases Nash to the back, and the moment is replayed as the ring crew has to clean the ring up.
The Four Horsemen ("The Nature Boy" Ric Flair and "The Crippler" Chris Benoit) beat Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow to win the WCW World Tag Team Championships. However, Flair is not one of the titles' co-holders, as he leaves Benoit high and dry, much to the shock of "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson. Anderson ends up taking his shirt off and getting on the apron, replacing Flair as Benoit's tag team partner. Suddenly, Saturn shows up and tells Anderson he has this. Benoit tags Saturn in, and Saturn fires on all cylinders as he fights off DDP and Bigelow before hitting DDP with the Death Valley Driver. Benoit and Saturn win the match and become the WCW World Tag Team Champions. Kanyon shows up to celebrate with Saturn, but hits Saturn with the Flatliner and takes the boots to him while DDP and Bigelow stomp Benoit in the corner. After a double-team Diamond utter to Benoit, DDP Diamond Cutters the referee before doing the same to Benoit along with Bigelow. Kanyon then hands DDP and Bigelow the tag team titles and heads to the back along with them.
La Parka and Silver King beat Damian and Ciclope in a Falls Count Anywhere Mexican Hardcore Match.
The black-and-white nWo meet in the locker room. Scott Norton confronts the rest of the group for skipping town after Ernest "The Cat" Miller hit him with a tire iron and leaving without him. The rest of the crew cannot even get their story straight, and Norton reluctantly has to squash the beef with them.
Ernest "The Cat" Miller and Sonny Onoo show up. Miller brags about how he knocks Scott Norton out with one kick (even though it was with a tire iron), and chastises the crowd for not believing in him when he "shook the world" and "became the greatest." He tells everyone to bow down to him and tell him he is the greatest. He says he is going to the top and beat everybody with one kick, and then he is going to dance because it is payback time. He says that if somebody doesn't believe he is a bad man, he dares somebody to get in the ring with him. Horace Hogan suddenly runs into the ring, and the fight is on.
Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Horace Hogan after Sonny Onoo distracts the referee so that The Cat can hit Horace with a crowbar. Once again, the black-and-white nWo are seen watching the match in the locker room at the end of the match, and this time, with Scott Norton in tow, the black-and-white nWo head to the ring and chase The Cat and Onoo to the back while checking on Horace.
We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.
"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. He says he will make WCW President "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair bleed to death at The Great American Bash and turn Space Mountain into a fountain, as his nose is so big that they won't be able to find a tourniquet to fit it. After he takes control of WCW, he has problems that he will mix and match and stir up. He knows there are some young guys sitting in coach on the plane wondering why Piper is the main event and not them, and says it's reality check time and time to get real. He mocks ring announcer Michael Buffer's trademark "Let's get ready to rumble" quote and asks Buff Bagwell to come to the ring. Piper asks Buff how many times he's wrestled in Madison Square Zero (which is zero), and Buff tells him it's not 1975 anymore and that he's buff and he's the stuff. Piper asks what "the stuff" is. Buff says "You're lookin' at it, big man." Piper then asks about his broken neck and how he got back into the ring, then how he faked another career-threatening injury, and asks if he will do whatever it takes to make it to the top. Buff says yes. Piper says that after he beats Flair at The Great American Bash, he will give him the ball. He says he has never fumbled, but he will give him the ball, and if Buff fumbles, he will be right down his neck. Buff tells Piper that if he gives him the ball, he will run with it. The two of them shake hands.
Madusa, Gorgeous George and Miss Madness are in the limousine when Kevin Nash approaches. They gets his attention, and after telling them that "Macho Man" Randy Savage is not with them and that it's ladies' night out, ask him to open a bottle of champagne for them. Kevin Nash tells them to get out so he can check the limo. He eventually puts his bags in the trunk and gets in the back, and the ladies insist he go in first. They close the door on him, then the divider comes down and it is revealed that Savage is the driver. Savage parks the limo, and a white Hummer runs into the back of it multiple times. Kevin punches the window out and tries to open the door, but he is hurt badly.
Curt Hennig guests on commentary for the next match. Meanwhile, Konnan joins DJ Ran at the turntable, but still guests on commentary regardless.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) show up. Scott says all his hooches have a space to fill, and they tell him he's the big thrill. He says that they will know that he is Superman between the sheets. Scott then says that when Rick Steiner was beating the crap out of Sting, he was in the back to see if he had any friends who would help him as well as if there were any real men willing to face him and Rick. He then tells Sting that it is obvious that he is on his own, and at The Great American Bash, Rick will be there, and where he is at, he will be at. He says that if Sting does not have any friends there, they will show him why they are the most feared tag team in the world and the greatest tag team that ever lived. Rick says there will be some changes around here, as it is now rule of the fittest and he and Scott are the top of the food chain while everyone else is fresh meat. If anyone gets a chance to face one of them, they had better not hesitate for a second, as they will be on them like a pack of wild dogs. Rick then says that if he catches Sting anywhere in the dog pound, he will take him out. If anyone in the back does not like him, they can bite him. If anyone wants some, they can come get some, as he is the D.F.G. and he does not back down from anybody.
Before the next match, Disco Inferno says he has heard what Buff Bagwell said earlier and says he already dropped the ball, as he had a chance to look "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in the eye and tell him he stinks, and he did not do it. He says Buff has no guts or stuff, and says this is why he got kicked out of the Wolfpac. He tells Buff that if he wants to be the man, he tells him to come to the ring and wrestle him, and show him why he is the man. It is then announced that Eric Bischoff is on WCW.com with information on Kevin Nash as well as who was driving the Hummer that collided into the limousine in the successful attempt to badly hurt Nash. Buff Bagwell gets in the ring and says he was almost at his car when he heard him run his mouth. He admits he was kicked out of the Wolfpac, but everyone knows that Disco was not even in the Wolfpac. Disco attacks Buff as soon as he turns his back, and this starts their match.
Buff Bagwell beats Disco Inferno.
Before the next match, "Macho Man" Randy Savage says that Sting is finished now that Kevin Nash has been taken out.
Sting beats "Macho Man" Randy Savage by disqualification. During the match, Madusa, Miss Madness and Gorgeous George distract referee Johnny Boone so that Savage can throw powder into Sting's face. Miss Madness goes for a top rope Frankensteiner, but Sting pushes her off and Savage hits Boone with a punch followed by a piledriver. Referee Mickey Jay shows up and rings the bell, and Sting fights back against Savage, even as Savage uses Miss Madness and Madusa as human shields. He eventually gets Savage, and The Steiner Brothers get in the ring and attack Sting, with Scott hitting Sting with the United States title. Lex Luger runs into the ring with a black baseball bat to make the save for Sting, and the Steiners are chased out of the ring to end the show.
