Backstage, Izzi Dame wants to confront Tatum Paxley, but Shawn Spears and Niko Vance are cautious following being chased with a chainsaw last week. Izzi decides to take matters into her own hands.

Backstage, it is revealed that Kendal Grey has been attacked backstage and that Wren Sinclair is calling for help.

Izzi Dame is in the ring. She regrets trying to turn Tatum Paxley into something else, and says that if Tatum looked in the mirror, she would see the source of her problems. Instead, she had to be the bad guy and break her heart. She says that trying to eliminating Shawn Spears and Niko Vance does not solve her problems, and says that Tatum Paxley cannot be fixed. Izzi then says she was Tatum's cure, not the villain. After Izzi states that she took Tatum out of rock bottom only to put her back there when she refused to evolve, Tatum shows up and tells Izzi that she was listening and that she did care, and that she saw and felt everything. Tatum Paxley then says she is sorry...for Izzi being insecure and losing sight of who she is, saying that she has to put fear in people and hurt them to gain control and that Izzi is too scared to look into the mirror herself. Tatum says she needs friends that have been with her since the start, like the fans, and not friends like Izzi, and while Izzi may have gotten her at Deadline, she is not finished yet. Izzi says that if Tatum listened to her, she would still be NXT Women's Champion, and if Tatum wants to play games, she will play them. When Izzi asks Tatum what her next move is, Tatum challenges Izzi to a one-on-one match at New Year's Evil. Izzi says she is all for this so she can make Tatum lose twice, but after that, "playtime is over." Tatum says Izzi is not in control and that it is not over until she says it is. Tatum then bends backwards to avoid a big boot from behind and lays Izzi out.

Hendry immediately grabs the chair he is sitting on to use as a weapon, but it proves no match for the numbers game that comes to the ring for him.

Backstage, after General Manager Ava tells Robert Stone to make sure the rest of the year-end awards are ready, she finds Blake Monroe in her office.

He says Jey and his brother should have joined him, then says he will destroy Roman and remain Tribal Chief. All of a sudden, Jey is attacked from behind by Drew McIntyre. McIntyre goes for a Claymore Kick, but Jey strikes back with a superkick. McIntyre soon lays Jey out with a Glasgow Kiss, but officials stop him from hitting the Claymore Kick. As officials escort McIntyre to the back, McIntyre turns around and dashes past them to hit Jey with the Claymore Kick.

CM Punk shows up and confronts Rollins for his choice of words, then says Rollins feels that he abandoned him. He says that they have made their choices and that he has no regrets. He then says that he is here to make money and not friends and that he will make a boatload of money beating Rollins up, then Rollins says that Punk took shots at WWE and then joined the competition when it did not work. He also says that he did not feel bad about any of his choices, as changes are made in the trenches and not by cowards who abandon their families, and says that Punk will take another ten years off when he makes him. Punk says that Rollins would not be here if it were not for him, then says he loved where he worked but hated the guy who ran it, who loved Rollins, who he says is now playing victim in a situation he created. He says he came back because of the fans chanting his name, and says that he will beat Rollins next week. Rollins says Punk may have been a pioneer, but he is now a cancer that must be cut out.

Imperium brush him off, then Strowman says that he is telling him he is taking him on for the title and not asking him for turning Gunther around and fending off all of Imperium.

The Brodie Lee Celebration of Life Show - Dynamite recap for December 30, 2020

The show starts with the entire AEW roster on the stage. The bell is tolled ten times in honor of Jon Huber aka Brodie Lee, who passed away this Saturday at the age of 41 from a non-COVID related lung issue. Brodie's wife Amanda and their two sons are at the center of the stage. (Nights One and Two of New Year's Smash are pushed back one week to allow for a celebration of life show where members of The Dark Order team with other members of the AEW roster in every match.)

We hear from Jon Moxley, who says that he has never had a harder time coming up with words in front of a camera than right now. Moxley describes Brodie Lee as a man who liked to stir the pot and as a man who brought joy to the locker room, and says that Brodie enjoyed being a husband and father more than anything else. He says that pro wrestling is a community and not just a sport, and that everybody supports one another when the chips are down, and that tonight, the life of a human being will be celebrated and will hopefully inspire someone to slow down and smell the roses, as every day he spent with Brodie is now all the more special.

Chris Jericho guests on commentary for tonight's episode.

Colt Cabana and The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy). After the match, The Acclaimed (Max Caster and Anthony Bowen) show up, but SoCal Uncensored stop them before Max Caster can say anything. The Young Bucks and Colt Cabana soon send The Acclaimed retreating.

We hear from Darby Allin, who talks about when he first met Brodie Lee in AEW and how he found out that there was no with Brodie. Darby mentions that he had wanted to wrestle Brodie Lee prior to his passing.

Before the next match, Eddie Kingston tells Brodie Lee that he loves and misses him, and while this match is for Brodie, he will prove that The Dark Order is nothing without Brodie.

The Dark Order (Evil Uno and Stu Grayson) and Lance Archer beat Eddie Kingston, The Butcher and The Blade. (In this match, Archer wears a white tanktop, blue jeans and a bandanna in the back pocket much like Brodie Lee's "Luke Harper" character in WWE. Also, Evil Uno pays tribute to Brodie Lee at the start of the match by booting Eddie in the face as the referee checks Eddie for weapons before the bell rings.) After the match, everyone on the winning team, including Jake "The Snake" Roberts, hits Eddie Kingston with forearms.

We hear from Dax Harwood, Arn Anderson, Colt Cabana and Bryce Remsburg about their memories of Brodie Lee as a loving husband and family man.

"Hangman" Adam Page and The Dark Order (Alex "3" Reynolds and John "4" Silver) beat The Inner Circle (MJF, Santana and Ortiz). (Before the match begins, Reynolds and Silver throw papers at Santana and Ortiz in a reference to Brodie Lee throwing papers at people on Being The Elite, with Adam Page doing it after the bell rings.) During the match, Wardlow clotheslines Reynolds, then Erick Redbeard (formerly known as Erick Rowan in WWE) shows up and fights Wardlow all the way to the back. Shortly after this, MJF rips the mask off of Brodie Lee's son (referred to as "-1" throughout the show) in the front row, and gets a Kendo stick shot to the head for his efforts. After the match, a tearful Erick Redbeard reappears in the ring with a sign saying "Goodbye for now, my brother, see you down the road."

We hear from Eddie Kingston, who says that he will miss Brodie Lee and tells Brodie Lee's sons that their father is not gone as long as they are alive and they remember his teachings, and calls Brodie Lee a warrior who took care of and loved his kids.

Anna "99" Jay and Tay Conti beat Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. and Penelope Ford with a Queenslayer to Penelope Ford. (During the match, it is revealed that Anna Jay's number of "99" comes from Wayne Gretzky, as Brodie Lee was a big hockey fan.) After the match, Tony Schiavone interviews Baker, who says she is sick and tired of the conspiracies around here and says that tonight's match was rigged. Suddenly, Thunder Rosa runs into the ring and attacks Baker, and Reba and a bunch of referees have to separate both women.

Next week: Special guest Snoop Dogg! Rey Fenix vs. Kenny Omega for the AEW World Championship! Jon Moxley returns! Abadon vs. Hikaru Shida for the AEW Women's World Championship! The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) and SoCal Uncensored vs. The Acclaimed and TheHybrid2! Jake Hager vs. Wardlow! Cody Rhodes vs. Matt Sydal! Chris Jericho guests on commentary! In two weeks: "The Machine" Brian Cage vs. Darby Allin for the AEW TNT Championship! Dr. Britt Baker D.M.D. vs. Thunder Rosa! PAC vs. Eddie Kingston!

We hear from Chris Jericho, who describes Brodie Lee as a giant with an intelligent, wise and sarcastic sense of humor and of the best in-ring performers he had ever seen as he talks about how he helped bring him to AEW, where he proved he could be a main event star. He also talks about how his silver lab Oakley loved Brodie Lee even though Oakley is not known for being very friendly to other people.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, Orange Cassidy and Preston "10" Vance beat Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs) in the Brodie Lee Jr. Six-Man Dream Match (so called because Brodie Lee Jr. aka "-1" is a fan of 10, Orange Cassidy and Cody Rhodes, and has picked all three of them to be in this match) after referee Bryce Remsburg stops a steel chair fight between Arn Anderson and Taz. After the match, Team Taz and Hook get in the ring and gang up on Cody, then the lights go out. When they come back on, Darby allin shows up from the stands, then the lights go out again. When they come back on a second time, Sting also arrives from the same door that Darby Allin came out of. Darby and Sting stand with 10, Cody and Cassidy as Taz and the rest of his team stands down.

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes is in the ring. He talks about a Samuel Johnson quote that he feels encapsulates Brodie Lee: "You can judge a man's character by how he treats somebody who can do him no good." After hearing so many stories from so many people about Brodie Lee, he says there is no other wrestler anywhere who had such a one-on-one connection like Brodie Lee, who he calls "a beautiful man" who leaves behind a beautiful legacy before bringing out Brodie's older son, Brodie Lee Jr. aka "-1," who arrives with his mom and Brodie's wife Amanda, Tony Khan and Preston "10" Vance. -1 places Brodie Lee's boots and a purple bandana in the center of the ring as tribute, and is presented with the AEW TNT Championship by Tony Khan, who declares -1 "TNT Champion for life." Tony Khan thanks the fans for coming out tonight for Brodie Lee and his family before presenting a video tribute to Brodie Lee featuring "Ol' 55" by Tom Waits. (Afterwards, it is revealed that Brodie Lee Jr. has signed a contract with AEW that will allow him to work with the promotion when he is of age, and that the current design of the AEW TNT Championship will be retired and that a new design will be introduced later. Also, Tony Khan has purchased the rights to "Ol' 55" by Tom Waits in perpuity so that the tribute can last forever.)

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 30, 2019

Kevin Owens shows up to start tonight's show. Owens says that tonight and the new year will be started off early with some fireworks due to what happened last Monday. He then says that Seth Rollins and AOP (Akam and Rezar) have run roughshod for weeks and have sent him to the hospital twice, but he will continue to call them out and get beat up for it until he takes someone down with him. Owens also says he has a problem when the repercussions affect people besides himself who he respects, such as Rey Mysterio, and says it made him sick to see Rey ganged up on, saying that it is the reason why Rey lost the United States title to Andrade on Thursday. After a replay of Andrade beating Rey for the United States Championship on Thursday at Madison Square Garden, Rollins and AOP show up before Owens can call them out. Rollins says that his position was caused when his hand by forced by people who think they know what is best for him, and that Owens has left him no choice but to impose his will and enforce it through the AOP if anyone resists. Owens immediately gets out of the ring and brawls with AOP, but AOP quickly get the upper hand. Rollins commands AOP to teach Owens a lesson, then an angry Samoa Joe shows up and levels AOP. Joe then gets in the ring with Rollins and attacks him before putting him in the Coaquina Clutch. AOP get back in the ring and save Rollins, then gang up on Joe until Owens attacks them with a chair. Security shows up in numbers to stop the brawl, but Owens takes everyone out with a dive from the top rope.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Samoa Joe, who says that he did not have a choice and that Rollins chose for him to get involve and never be safe again, and made it so that Kevin Owens does not stand alone. Owens says he has known some bad people for a long time, but no one is badder than Joe and he is glad that Joe is with him in this fight. Security then shows up, and Joe threatens to beat them up if they touch him. Owens and Joe then leave after Owens sarcastically wishes security a happy new year.

Aleister Black beats Buddy Murphy.

Backstage, Rollins tells AOP (Akam and Rezar) that he dares security to boot them out, as the show will be cancelled during the next match. Security shows up, and Rollins says they will be leaving voluntarily. They leave.

Backstage, Erick Rowan demands an invitation to the wedding from Lana, then says "we don't care, anyway" - referring to himself and what is in his cage - before screaming and leaving.

It is announced that Randy Orton was injured last night at a live event, and that there will be an update from Orton later tonight.

Erick Rowan beats Kip Stevens.

Charlotte Flair shows up. She announces her entry into the women's Royal Rumble match, saying everyone knows she will be in it, then says she is tired of stating the obvious and saying how good she is and says she wants to show how good she is. After stating that she has her favorite robe and that her boots are laced, Charlotte then asks who wants to step up and face her. That challenge is answered by Natalya.

Charlotte Flair beats Natalya with the Figure Eight. During the match, various Superstars chases after R-Truth and the WWE 24/7 Championship, and Eric Young gets a big boot from Charlotte in the process.

Backstage, Charly Caruso interviews Becky Lynch. Becky announces that her match with Asuka for the Raw Women's Championship will be at Royal Rumble thanks to contract negotiations, then says that she will beat Asuka even if it kills her.

We hear from Liv Morgan, who says that the new her is more methodical and that she strikes when she is ready. She says she is ready, then asks the fans if they are, too.

The O.C. ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) show up. Styles replays what happened in the last two weeks to show that Raw is "The O.C.'s show," then Anderson says they proved The Viking Raiders (Ivar and Erik) were beatable, especially at Crown Jewel. Gallows then says that The O.C. are the next in line to challenge for the Raw tag team titles, then Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) shows up. Street Profits admit that The O.C. are telling the truth about beating The Viking Raiders twice and becoming the best tag team in the world, then boast about The O.C. during their Raw debut. Styles tells Street Profits that they got lucky when they beat The O.C., then tells them to stick to backstage skits before they get hurt. Dawkins says he would be threatened by The O.C. if they weren't named after a teen soap opera, then Gallows tells Street Profits to get in the ring so they can kick their asses.

Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) beat The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson). During the match, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles is ejected for grabbing Dawkins' foot from the outside.

Backstage, Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) celebrate their win against The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson), and Montez Ford ponders if that makes them the best tag team in the universe. Dawkins tells Ford to think bigger and go for the multiverse, then describes what the multiverse is. After talking briefly about the wedding between Lana and Bobby Lashley, Montez Ford says that Street Profits want the smoke.

Before the next match, Drew McIntyre says the next match should put him at a disadvantage, but Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins should be worried. After asking the fans who should be worried, he tells Ryder and Hawkins they are screwed.

Drew McIntyre beats Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins in a 2-on-1 handicap match.

Next week: Brock Lesnar returns! Rey Mysterio vs. Andrade for the WWE United States Championship! Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) vs. The O.C. (Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson) vs. The Viking Raiders (Ivar and EriK) for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships!

Randy Orton shows up on crutches, and has to be helped into the ring. Orton says that accidents and injuries happen in wrestling all the time and that everyone who gets in the ring is aware of the risks that they take. He says it killed him to need assistance to get into the ring, as he has seen champions surrender their titles due to injuries, and he has even seen Edge surrender his entire career due to an injury. He then says he landed funny on his left knee during a show last night, and he did not know how badly he hurt himself until he got his knee checked out. He says he will be out for a long time, and he is afraid he may not be able to come back. Orton says he will do everything in his power to ensure somebody gets RKO'd at WrestleMania, then "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles shows up. Styles proceeds to mock Orton and make fun of the fact that he can pester him without Orton being able to do anything about it, then puts his hands behind his back to give Orton a shot at him. Styles even closes his eyes, but Orton does nothing. Styles then says he is a patient man and that he will wait until WrestleMania to re-injure his knee and make him retire before kicking a crutch out from under him. Before Styles leaves, Orton gets Styles' attention and tells Styles that the difference between them is that he isn't patient before hitting Styles with an RKO, revealing he is not injured after all.

We see more footage of Andrade beating Rey Mysterio for the WWE United States Championship last Thursday at Madison Square Garden. We then hear from Rey, who says that Andrade is the better man and that he is looking forward to his rematch. He then tells Seth Rollins and AOP (Akam and Rezar) not to count him out when it comes to confronting them, and that he will be standing tall when it is all over.

Andrade vs. an unknown opponent ends with Ricochet showing up before Andrade can plant his opponent on exposed concrete. Ricochet checks on Andrade's opponent, then calls Andrade out for injuring Humberto Carrillo and Rey Mysterio before daring Andrade to fight him.

Andrade beats Ricochet after Zelina Vega tosses Ricochet off the top rope behind the referee's back.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Andrade. Zelina Vega says everyone wants a piece of Andrade, and if Rey Mysterio wants another piece, he will get it when Andrade beats him again.

The wedding of Lana and Bobby Lashley takes place. During the exchange of vows, Lana demands that the minister read what is exactly on the script, then yells at the fans that the wedding is not about Rusev when the fans chant "Rusev Day." Lana then tells Lashley that today is the luckiest day of his entire life, as she is marrying the greatest woman who ever lived and that no other woman can compare to her. She also says that Lashley has strived for excellence and to be the best his entire life, and that the greatest gift he can ever get is her. Lana and Lashley then make out briefly in the middle of the ring, then Lashley reads the vows, which are written by Lana. After the rings are placed on the fingers, a man shows up to object to the wedding, saying it is a complete sham and should not continue. The man then identifies himself as Lana's first husband, and says that they married when Lana turned 18 only to leave him for Rusev, who she left for Lashley, and says the same things will happen to Lashley only for Lashley to choke slam him. As Lana and Lashley are about to be declared husband and wife, a woman shows up and says that she is Lashley's first wife, and that they met while Bobby was in the military. Lana clocks her off the ring apron with a bouquet of flowers. Suddenly, another woman objects, saying that the love of her life is in the ring and that she came to the WWE as a wild child hoping her dreams would come true, and that she never knew she could be herself until they fell in love. The woman - who happens to be Liv Morgan - asks how they can do this to her, and Lashley says he has never met her in his entire life. Liv says she isn't talking about Bobby; she is talking about Lana. Lana cries, then slaps Liv Morgan and slams her into the corner. This starts a brawl between the two women that referees have to break up so that officials can get Liv out of the ring. As Lana and Lashley are about to be declared man and wife, Rusev comes out of the wedding cake and attacks Lashley. Liv Morgan gets back int the ring and slams Lana into the cake, and the show ends.

Edge and Christian then want to do a five-second pose with the Exotic Express...but not Adam Rose.

He also says that he and Stephanie did Kane a huge favor, saying that if Test did to Stephanie what he did to Tori, he would have done a whole lot worse to Test. He then asks Kane to do him a favor and get in the ring for a no-holds-barred match against The Rock.

Kane grabs the bottom of one of his gloves.

Stephanie tells Al Snow that he will get a bonus if he is successful.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle asks the Richmond, Virginia crowd to allow him to be their honorary hometown hero. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman then shows up, and is handcuffed to the ringpost. Backstage, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley expresses displeasure with this, but Triple H says this is to make sure he does not get involved in this match. Shortly after the match begins, Blackman manages to get himself out of the handcuffs, then throws something into the ring to distract the referee. Blackman then clocks Rikishi in the back of the head with nunchaku, then re-cuffs himself before the referee turns back around. Kurt Angle beats Rikishi. After the match, Triple H is ticked off about what happened, but Stephanie reminds him that Kurt Angle is still undefeated.

We look back at Mankind aka Mick Foley's elbow drop from the top of the steel cage onto Triple H.

We see Jim Ross talking to Mankind in the latter's home.

We look back on Mankind aka Mick Foley's visit to WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's hospital room, which also marks the debut of Mr. Socko.

Jim Ross interviews Mankind in the latter's home. Mankind says he has prepared his family for the day when he would leave professional wrestling, and says he has saved his money as his daughter Noelle knows that he has to wrestle for a living. Nevertheless, his children are sad, as he is their hero. He hopes to do that, but as their father rather than Mankind. He has had his eyes on retirement since last year, and has wanted to retire in the main event at WrestleMania and go out as WWF Champion. He is not bitter about the Pink Slip on a Pole Match, noting that if he won, he would probably be the most hated person in the World Wrestling Federation right now. He is realistic about his role in wrestling and considers himself a very valuable part of the WWF, but right now, The Rock is the man and the future of the WWF. He says that he has his best days behind him while The Rock's best days are ahead. Mankind then says he wants to be remembered for bringing Cactus Jack back to the WWF as well as winning his first WWF Championship. He is happy to be home with his wife and kids, but his wife knows this is not the way he wanted to go out as it was far from beautiful. He says it is pretentious of Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley to finish a career due to getting off on playing with people's lives, dreams and families. He considers their attempt to fire him "woefully inept," and says only he will decide how he goes out and that he will not take this sitting down.

X-Pac, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley are backstage, having watched Jim Ross' interview with mankind. Triple H is livid that Mankind is still getting attention, and wants X-Pac to take his frustrations out for him by putting him in a match against Big Show, and if he loses, he is fired. X-Pac does not take kindly to this as he leaves.

Before the next match, Chyna says there has been a lot of speculation and rumors as to why she has been saving Chris Jericho for the last few weeks. She says it is not because of admiration or mutual respect, but but because she has been biding his time and waiting ofr her thumb to heal so she can face him for the Intercontinental Championship again. She calls out Jericho, so they can see who the true champion is. Jericho shows up, and asks how Chyna dares to lie to the Jerichoholics, saying that she came to the ring only to get close to him as she has a crush on "Y2J." Unfortunately, he does not feel the same way about her.

Chyna vs. Chris Jericho for the WWF Intercontinental Championship ends in a double pinfall. During the match, Jericho hits Chyna with a spinning heel kick, inadvertently sending her into referee Jimmy Korderas. Jericho then grabs a steel chair, but Chyna ducks when he swings it and she hits the Pedigree. Another referee runs into the ring to make the count. Jericho hits Chyna with a suplex and hits his back on the chair, and both referees make the count. Jericho and Chyna both have their shoulders down.

Michael Hayes interviews The Rock. When asked about what happened concerning the end of the Pink Slip on a Pole Match, he turns around and says that Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley fired him, not The Rock, and that he went out there and did what he did best. Tonight, he had to face Kane because of Tori, whom he would not even waste an ounce of muscle to look at. As for Mankind, he is not happy that he is fired. He tells Michael Hayes not to ask him such a question again, or else he will knock his teeth so far down his throat that he will need to stick a toothbrush up his ass to brush them.

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for December 30, 1996

The show begins with The New World Order outside of the arena. They boast that they are stonger than ever. The Giant says he knows he dropped the ball last night, and that he is still waiting for his World title shot from World War 3. "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan tells The Giant that his win at World War 3 is a bye for them, and that it gives them more time to do what they want, and that even though they may have "stutter-stepped a bit," they're still on their way to the top as they still have all the power. Hulk tells The Giant he dropped the ball once, and that he can't drop it again. Ted DiBiase wants the camera turned off so as not to record any more internal dissent within The New World Order.

The Amazing French Canadians (Jacques Rougeau and Carl Ouellet) beat Public Enemy (Johnny Grunge and "Flyboy" Rocco Rock) after Rougeau dodges Public Enemy's double team attack into the table.

Hogan says that he lost a lot of respect for Piper just for showing up for one night, taking a beating and leaving. Eric Bischoff considers having a moment of silence for Piper, but then doesn't. Hogan then poses for the crowd. Tony Schiavone and "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko know Bischoff and Hogan are lying.

Hugh Morrus beats Kensuki Sasaki by disqualification after Sonny Onoo hits Morrus with the pole of his Japanese flag to absolutely no effect. During the match, Eric Bischoff shows up on commentary with a black clamshell VHS case in his hand (which contains the footage of Hogan vs. Piper at Starrcade), telling Tony Schiavone and Larry Zbyszko that he's got the master tape and that they're not proving anything, and that possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Glacier beats Disco Inferno.

"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Chris Jericho. After the match, "Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, Debra McMichael, Benoit, Woman and Steve "Mongo" McMichael. Debra says she was just talking about him, but Woman tells her and Mongo to shut their mouth as they don't have a vote here as they haven't been in the Four Horsemen long enough. As Flair tries to break it up between Benoit and Mongo, Jeff Jarrett shows up and brings up "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson's attack on him at Starrcade. When Woman asks where Anderson is, Flair says he's at the Hyatt with a Miller Lite in his hand that is so cold it would freeze the hand off an Eskimo. Benoit tells Jarrett that he proved himself, and that he can be anything but a Horseman. Debra says Woman is angry because of recent weight gain and says Mongo should be glad she got between him and Benoit.

"Rowdy" Roddy Piper shows up. He says he has heard "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff have insisted Hogan have won, and Piper says that this proves that there is indeed life on Mars as he had Hogan in a sleeper the last time he checked. He is glad history reads that he is the icon, and he is proud that he have been "the Braveheart" of professional wrestling. He says that this is his last fight, and jokes that he's getting too old for this. As he says that he is glad to have his match at Starrcade, Bischoff and Hogan show up. Hogan says it's not going down that way, but Piper says history is history. Hogan tells Piper he is a lucky, lucky person, and the only reason that he didn't end his rivalry with Piper for good is that Piper's son told him to take it easy on him. Piper tells Hogan that they can fight right now, and as that is about to happen, Piper is attacked from behind by the rest of the New World Order. Syxx and The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) join in first, followed by The Giant and Scott "Flash" Norton. Hogan brings a steel chair into the ring and smashes it into Piper's leg. Hogan then commands The Giant to choke slam Piper, but Piper refuses. At this point, Nick Patrick shows up in black denim jeans and a New World Order shirt, and Marcus Bagwell and "Sting" can also be seen. Hogan tells The Giant that he dropped the ball again as Piper is put on a stretcher. Hogan tells him that last night was strike one, and not choke slamming Piper was strike two. He then slaps The Giant, saying "three strikes!" The Giant then grabs Hogan by the throat, and The Giant tells everyone to clear the ring as he tells Hogan to give him his World title shot. Hogan says he's sorry and tells The Giant he's got his title shot as he begs for forgiveness, then Hogan sics the rest of the New World Order on Giant. The numbers game eventually works against The Giant, and Hogan smacks The Giant in the back with the World Heavyweight Championship before everyone else in the nWo stomps on The Giant and rips his nWo shirt into pieces. Hogan speaks into the camera, saying he warned The Giant about messing with him before hitting The Giant with the World Heavyweight Championship again. He tells The Giant that the World title is his. The last thing we see is Piper being transported to the hospital in an ambulance.
