In the Mayhem Match of the Week, Disco Inferno beats Psychosis to win the WCW Cruiserweight Championship for a second time after avoiding a top rope guillotine leg drop and hitting the Last Dance. Before the match begins, it is announced that the newly-unmasked Psychosis is the new WCW Cruiserweight Champion. (It is announced that Psychosis won the match at a house show; in reality, Lenny has been stripped of the Cruiserweight title due to protests by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), who feel Lenny's character is presented to incite homophobia in the audience and that both Lenny and Lodi being beaten up in the ring has the potential to incite people to do physical harm to gays and lesbians. Not surprisingly, both members of The West Hollywood Blondes, Lenny and Lodi, have been taken off television as a result.) It is also announced that tomorrow night on WCW.com and Yahoo!, fans can chant with Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara about their new positions in World Championship Wrestling.

He says Sid Vicious can play mind games with him, but he will never prevail. At the end of the month at Halloween Havoc, Sid's ass is his. If Sid decides he had enough guts to face him before then, he will grant that wish and he will kick his ass from one end of the country to the other. It could be tonight or next week, but where or when it is, one thing is for sure: Sid's his. He says that United States title around his waist is just a stepping stone for him, as he has not held it for a year, and he will not stop until he gets it back.

Booker T says it feel like yesterday that they first stepped into WCW, and now they are nine-time tag champs. He says it is hot in the arena tonight and it is about to get a whole lot hotter. Stevie Ray says he and Booker have beaten the best, but the people have just seen what Morrus and Knobbs are capable of, and if they want a shot at the tag titles, all they have to do is put their names on the dotted line and it is on. Booker claims Harlem Heat they have never ducked anybody, and if this is any incentive for The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) to come back, all they have to do is step on in, as they will continue to do their thing as only they can. Stevie Ray says they should have taken The Outsiders out of the game a long time ago, and them sitting in the front row with beautiful women does not impress them. If The Outsiders want them, they're not hard to find. As the interview finishes, Harlem Heat are attacked from behind by Hugh Morrus and Brian Knobbs, starting a tag team brawl in the aisle that eventually makes its way into the ring. Booker T and Stevie Ray seem to make headway, but Knobbs takes Harlem Heat out with a steel chair before Hugh Morrus hits Stevie Ray with No Laughing Matter.
