Before the next match, The Big Boss Man asks "Who's the top dog now?" and says this is a very important question. He says Al Snow may be nuts, but he is crazy in his own kind of way after skinning Pepper and feeding him to Snow, and says nobody is crazier than him. He says that if he crazy enough to feed Pepper to Al Snow, he can rip the heart out of anybody in his way. He then issues an open challenge for the WWF Hardcore Championship to all the dog lovers out there, and promises to send them home with their tail tucked between their legs. The challenge is suddenly answered by none other than The British Bulldog, who has not been seen in almost two years.

The British Bulldog beats The Big Boss Man in his first WWF match since 1997 to become the WWF Hardcore Champion! After the match, Al Snow shows up dressed as Leif Cassidy, shoves a piece of paper in Boss Man's mouth, realizes he is dressed as Leif Cassidy, then dances around again. The British Bulldog stops Snow, hands him the WWF Harcore Championship and pats him on the shoulder before leaving.

Kane is seen outside of the arena, pouring gasoline in and on Triple H and Chyna's car. Triple H tries to get the WWF Championship out of the car, and he and Chyna get doused was gasoline. Kane then pulls out a charcoal grill lighter and chases after them with it.

Stevie Richards shows up with Edge and Christian before the next match, dressed for the most part like Christian. He is also carrying a cross in his hands.

Edge and Christian beat The New Brood (Jeff and Matt Hardy). During the match, Stevie Richards hits Gangrel with the Stevie Kick as the referee is preoccupied with the action happening outside of the ring. He also keeps Gangrel from breaking the pinfall that ends the match. After the match, the lights go out, but when they come back on, Kane is in the center of the ring. Ganfrel and the Hardys all get choke slammed. He then tells Triple H that tonight, he will burn the flesh from his body.

Lilian Garcia interviews The British Bulldog, who refuses to answer any questions as he leaves the arena.

X-Pac is seen entering the arena looking for Kane.

X-Pac shows up. He asks Kane to come to the ring. Kane shows up. X-Pac tells Kane to get his head straight, as he has the chance to be the WWF Champion, saying he has been there once and that he knows he can win it again. He then says he will have to win it without him. He tells Kane that he told him last week not to get involved in his match, and if he did, it was over. He says that the way things are going are no good for Kane, and says it is over between them. X-Pac then leaves the ring.

Two masked luchadores are seen entering the building, but they just so happen to be Chris Jericho and Howard Finkel.

Hardcore and Crash Holly show up. Hardcore Holly says it is no secret that he and Crash are looking for a fight. Not just any fight, but a super heavyweight fight. He asks for "a googly-eyed monkey" to come to the ring. He says everyone knows the proper requirements and qualifications, and that Crash has brought the scale to make sure any challenger meets it. Chyna suddenly shows up, and Hardcore Holly tells her that he does not wrestle women. He then says if she were a man with "those 200 pound sacks of silicon" on her chest, she just might meet the requirements. He then tells her to get out of the ring, and Chyna responds by hitting Hardcore Holly in the back with a scale. After taking the boots to Hardcore Holly, she forearms Crash off the apron.

Chyna beats Hardcore Holly by disqualification after Jeff Jarrett attacks Chyna. After the match, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn runs into the ring and chases Jarrett out of the ring. He then helps Chyna up only to hit her with the Fameasser. Hardcore and Crash Holly then fight again after Crash laughs at Hardcore Holly being beat up by Chyna.

Lilian Garcia interviews The Big Boss Man, who says he has no idea what Al Snow and The British Bulldog are up to, but they have pissed him off. He says that sticking a piece of paper in his mouth will not not scare him, and says skinning Pepper and feeding him to Snow was a piece of cake, and that he will skin Snow and the Bulldog like pigs, as he always gets what he wants.

Suddenly, The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) shows up with Terri Runnels, and Stephanie says enough is enough. WWF co-owner Shane McMahon then shows up, and tells, not asks, The Mean Street Posse to leave the ring, as the war is over. The Posse and Terri leave, and Shane says he owes everyone in the ring an apology. He says his actions as of late have been totally inexcusable and that he has been an asshole, and says he was wrong. He says it is not easy for him to watch Stephanie grow up, and that he never thought she would stand before him as a woman. Shane says he thought he was doing the right thing, but he was wrong, and says Stephanie is her own woman now. He tells Stephanie she has his blessing to follow her heart and marry Test. He then tells Test to always do the right thing, and to always treat Stephanie right. Shane then extends his hand, and Test shakes it. Shane and Stephanie then hug.

Kane is seen backstage with a blowtorch.

Lilian Garcia interviews The Rock and Mankind. The Rock asks Lilian if she has a warm, fuzzy feeling and goosebumps running up and down her spine, then tells Lilian to "goosebump [her] ass on out of here.." The Rock then tells Big Show and The Undertaker that he and Mankind will beat them at their own game, and he will shovel the dirt on their own two candy asses. When all is said and done, he will dig them back up, turn the shovel sideways and stick it straight up their candy asses. Mankind says he has been thinking about this match all day, and says the thought of shoveling two tons of earth on The Undertaker and Big Show gives him a warm, fuzzy feeling inside and he likes it. He then sings the chorus to "Stayin' Alive" by The Bee Gees, but he changes the words to "Buried Alive."

Before the next match, Chyna carries a sledgehammer as she accompanies Triple H to the ring. Kane brings a blowtorch. Also, Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah are seen in the front row.

Triple H retains the WWF Championship against Kane. During the match, Chyna distracts Kane by telling him she can talk to X-Pac for him, and this allows Triple H to get a cheap shot on Kane. Later on in the match, Chyna hits Kane from behind with a sledgehammer to allow Triple H to retain as referee Tim White checks on Triple H after a choke slam. After the match, Triple H is about to hit Kane with a sledgehammer again when Big Show and The Undertaker show up. Triple H and Chyna run to the back, then Big Show and The Undertaker approach Kane.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock is seen looking for Jericho backstage.

"The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock shows up. Last Monday, Chris Jericho said he would confront him face-to-face tonight. The way he sees it, Jericho has two choices: come out and face him like a man, or he can go backstage, tear everything up, find him, drag him to the ring and beat him like the step-child that he is. Personally, he thinks Jericho will choose the second option, since he is a coward, but he gives him ten seconds to come to the ring and tells Jericho not to make him come get him. Shamrock then leaves the ring, and is halfway up the ramp when Jericho shows up. Instead of being in front of Jericho, Jericho is in the ring and locked inside a shark cage with an aluminum baseball bat in his hands. He says that if they were to meet face-to-face, he would be forced to destroy Shamrock and his reputation in one fell swoop. Shamrock goes for the bat in the shark cage, which Jericho says is here to protect not him, but to protect Shamrock from him. He then tells Shamrock to check the TitanTron for proof of that, and we see a picture of Jericho with Shamrock in the Lion Tamer from last week, and says it is a good thing Shamrock's face was left out of the picture, otherwise the terror on his face would have been seen. He then says Shamrock cannot handle him, because he is "one bad mamma jamma." Shamrock manages to grab the baseball bat from Jericho's hands, but Jericho tells him he is in a steel cage and that Shamrock cannot do anything. Jericho then commands Howard Finkel to raise the cage up, but the cage does not go anywhere. We then see a backstage confrontation between Howard Finkel and Lilian Garcia, Shamrock then bends the bars of the cage, pulls Jericho out and proceeds to beat him up. Referees and officials get in the ring, and a few of them receive a belly-to-belly suplex before Shamrock chases Jericho to the back.

We see footage from during the break where Chris Jericho and Howard Finkel run to the van. Jericho then fires Howard Finkel and leaves him high and dry.

Jeff Jarrett, Debra and Miss Kitty show up. Jarrett says he is embarrassed to be getting in the ring with a woman at Unforgiven, as he was always taught a woman's place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. He says Chyna should not be getting in the ring with any man, let alone the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all time. He says this is a man's world, and that Chyna is a woman. He then spies The Fabulous Moolah and Mae Young in the ring, and asks Moolah to come to the ring. She does, and allows the fans to give her the applause that she deserves. Jarrett then says that back in Moolah's day, the women knew their place and that a woman would not be caught dead in the ring with a man. Moolah says that is true, but only because they knew she would kick a man's ass just like Chyna will kick Jarrett's ass at Unforgiven. Jarrett grabs a guitar and smashes it into Moolah's head. Mae Young runs into the ring only to receive a Figure Four Leg Lock. Debra and Miss Kitty please with Jarrett to stop, and referees run into the ring to tell Jarrett to get out. Referees check on Moolah and Mae Young afterwards.

We see a short film starring Val Venis titled "Enter the Big Valbowski," where Val Venis tells "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman that he is a man of peace, not war, and in his business, they don't believe in violence or use instruments of pain. He says that he uses instrument of pleasure before getting under the covers with a young, blonde-haired woman.

Big Show and The Undertaker beat The Rock and Mankind in a Tag Team Buried Alive match to become WWF Tag Team Champions for the second time. It is the third reign for The Undertaker and the second for Big Show. At one point in the match, Big Show tosses Mankind from the stage to the burial plot next to the ramp. Amazingly, Mankind gets the Mandible Claw on Big Show when Big Show makes it to the burial plot, and they both tumble in. Mankind eventually puts Big Show into unconsciousness and shovels dirt on top of him while Th Rock and Undertaker brawl in the back. Backstage, Triple H attacks The Rock, and The Undertaker runs off. Kane goes after Triple H, and Chyna hits Kane in the back with a steel chair to absolutely no effect. Kane chases after Chyna, then The Undertaker returns to the burial plot. Big Show manages to get out of the burial plot, and Big Show puts dirt on Mankind as The Undertaker goes to the back only to be attacked by The Rock. As The Rock and The Undertaker brawl on the stage, Triple H shows up and hits Big Show in the back with a sledgehammer so he can bury Mankind himself. Referee Earl Hebner calls for the bell, and Big Show and The Undertaker are tag team champions again. After the match, an ambulance pulls up. Triple H notices the ambulance and goes towards the back to see what is going on. Out of the back of the ambulance pops "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who proceeds to beat up Triple H and throw him into the back of the ambulance. Austin then gets in the driver's seat of the ambulance and drives off. He then gets out in front of Triple H and Chyna's car, then gets in a semi-truck with a WWF logo on the door and rams the ambulance - with Triple H still inside - into a dumpster.
