He then reveals a countdown clock until John Cena's final match at Saturday Night's Main Event, then says that beating Cena is not enough for him; he will break his spirit, push him around, bully him, drop him on his head and put him in a sleeper until he forces him to give up.

Rey counters the knockout punch with a kick off the ropes, but Logan soon drops Rey again. Logan goes for the knockout punch again, but Rey trips him into the ropes for the 619. All of a sudden, the man in the black hoodie returns, superkicking Rey before hitting The Stomp and running through the crowd when security arrives. Logan then hits Rey with the knockout punch, then LA Knight runs to the ring.

"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles and Dragon Lee retain the World Tag Team Championships against The War Raiders (Ivar and Erik). The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Grayson Waller watch the match from ringside.

Jimmy announces that The Usos are now back in the tag team division as they have been hit hard and taking loss after loss in the last few months, and after seeing him crash out, he called Jey. Jey they are going "back to us," and Jimmy says that while Styles and Dragon Lee do not know about The Usos yet, Jey says The New Day do and that they will go through them.

She says she is not one who talks too much and that she speaks more through action, and that while Nikki Bella is a legend, the women's division has changed since fifteen years ago. As she says that the women's division is loaded with talent and that she is at the top, Nikki Bella shows up and says that they are not done, and demands a rematch.

Logan Paul then hits LA Knight with a splash from the top rope for the win. After the match, Logan Paul, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker gang up on Knight for a Spear from Breakker followed by two Tsunamis from Bronson. Medical staff have to help Knight out of the ring. After the commercial break, Paul Heyman says he cannot tell the difference between Kansas City, Kansas and Kansas City, Missouri before announcing that Bron Breakker will be the new World Heavyweight Champion on January 5th. Breakker wants to know where CM Punk, and says that if he was here, there would be two losses in back-to-back days in Kansas City, Missouri. He says that he does not buy "the nice guy CM Punk" and says Punk is a fraud. Breakker mocks CM Punk's straight edge lifestyle and says he looks like "the biggest crackhead anyone's ever seen," and says that if he gets that CM Punk, he might as well stay at home, as he can beat that CM Punk easily. He wants to face the CM Punk that existed in the 2010s before he left WWE, saying he was the greatest to ever lace a pair of boots, and that if he does not get that, he will send Punk to the hospital and take his wife along with his title. All of a sudden, LA Knight is seen heading to the ring despite medical staff telling him not to, and as Bronson Reed and Logan Paul head to the back, Breakker says he will Spear and pin Punk. Bronson and Logan find Knight backstage and attack him, and security jumps in only to get attacked as well. The two of them then powerbomb Knight through a table, but Knight still gets up.

The show begins with Deaner making it clear that he will continue where Eric Young left off and that Violent By Design (Eric Young, Deaner, Big Kon, Alan Angels) was a movement to cure the business of the sickness with the designer at the helm. He says that the righteous ones never fade or die, and that the men who walk the valley are not only cleansed, but part of the chosen few. He says that Sami Callihan cut off the snake's head, but three heads grew back. Deaner then tells Sami Callihan go back into the desert and fear the evil that he sees, for what he sees is the design.

He says he will come at him with honor, but it will be up to Eddie if he does the same. Delirious then says that he is on another level right now and that he is very dangerous.

Big Kon - now known as just "Kon" - beats Sami Callihan after Callihan grabs a steel chair only for Alan Angels to take it from him and distract the ref, allowing Deaner to hit a cheap shot that allows Kon to win. (Violent By Design [Deaner, Kon, Alan Angels] is now known as "The Design.")

Trey threatens to give him a better paint job than he did Black Taurus as he runs away. Crazzy Steve laughs.

"The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander heads to the ring. Alexander says Impact management have given him blessing to do things his way, then announces that right here, right now, there will be a Impact World Championship open challenge. He says there is only one person that he wants to see walking down the ramp, then tells Bully Ray that he has nothing to lose, and if he walks down the ramp and beats him right now, he can be world champion. He then says that if Bully Ray loses, he can still call his shot, and that there is no reason to come down the ramp unless he is afraid to face him. Bully Ray shows up on the video screen, and says that while Josh Alexander has a nice offer, he is looking at pictures of Josh and his wife from Over Drive, and he proceeds to mock Josh, his wife and the pain that he put them through. He says that he cannot make it tonight or allow Josh to make him break his word, and that it will happen at Hard To Kill as he wants it. Suddenly, "Speedball" Mike Bailey heads to the ring, and says that while Bully Ray is not here, he is, and if this is still an open challenge, they can do this. Josh calls for a referee to start the world title match.

In a nearly hour-long slugfest, "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander retains the Impact Wrestling World Championship against "Speedball" Mike Bailey.

Those Dynamite Kids - Dynamite recap for December 8, 2021

MJF's theme plays to start tonight's show, but CM Punk comes out instead. CM Punk heads to the ring, makes fun of the fans for not being loud and the Islanders having yet to win a home game in tonight's venue, then says that he delivers unlike MJF. He removes his jacket to reveal an AEW "four pillars" shirt - with none of the pillars being MJF and one of them being Britt Baker, D.M.D. - and says MJF isn't even as good as "Rowdy" Roddy Piper in "Hell Comes To Frogtown." Punk also talks about MJF taking off his sportscoat only to run away from him, then says he is taken aback about MJF being Long Island, New York's "guy," and while he is not mad at the fans, he feels a little bit sorry for them. Punk then says he has his eye on next week's AEW World Championship and says that he wants next, as does MJF, but he says he must settle what is going between him and MJF before going for the World title. He says he has tried twice to get MJF in the ring only for MJF to ring, and proposes that they settle things, especially after MJF had the audacity to bring his dog Larry - who he says has more balls than MJF despite being neutered - into things. Punk says he wants MJF one-on-one in the ring and he wants him to stand and fight like they do in Chicago, Illinois, and he does not have an out for this and neither does MJF, saying he will do this tonight. He then says that if MJF is still Long Island's guy after this, then the fans in Long Island are all "chicken shit."

We see footage of someone driving around in a white Ferrari. We see MJF climb out of the Ferrari as a narrator paints MJF as a hero, then MJF puts on a Plainview Football varsity jacket that he pulls out of the track before walking onto a football field. After MJF's high school accolades are listed off by the narrator, MJF kisses the Dynamite Diamond Ring.

Harwood says that on Friday, they will become the first-ever two-time AEW tag champs and become the greatest tag team of all time.

The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) beat CHAOS (Chuck Taylor and Rocky Romero). After the match, The Young Bucks attack Rocky, Chucky and Orange Cassidy. Wheeler Yuta rushes into the ring, but he soon gets superkicked by The Young Bucks. The Young Bucks then hold Orange Cassidy down so Adam Cole can hit Orange with the Sunset Bomb, but as they all go for a BTE-Trigger on Orange, Sue drives in on her minivan, and Trent returns for the first time in months. Trent becomes a one-man army and decimates Adam Cole, The Young Bucks and Brandon Cutler, then Trent, Sue, Rocky and the rest of Best Friends (Yuta, Chucky, Orange, Kris Statlander) hug in the middle of the ring.

Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Ruby Soho. Suddenly, The Bunny and Penelope Ford show up and tell Ruby that according to "The Native Beast" Nyla Rose, they will be the first in line for title shots when Nyla wins the TBS title. They then challenge Ruby to a six-woman tag match. After Ruby says they don't have to wait until Friday after being called "Ruby Solo," Ruby attacks The Bunny and Penelope, and Nyla Rose joins in. Suddenly, Tay Conti and Anna Jay make the save for Ruby Soho with chairs.

Tony Schivone interviews Sammy Guevara on the stage. Suddenly, "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes shows up, and after congratulating Guevara on doing well on his open challenges so far, announces that Sammy's next TNT Championship defense in the open challenge is against him. After Cody leaves, The Men of the Year (Scorpio Sky and "All Ego" Ethan Page) laugh at Sammy Guevara from the upper seats and mentions Cody skipping to the head of the line for the TNT title before mentioning that Dan Lambert helped him get a title shot and that Lambert is coming back.

Scott D'Amore tells Tommy Dreamer that while he does not like wrestlers making matches, he is okay with Dreamer facing Larry D on Saturday.

Sami Callihan is in the ring. He says he is the highest-rated wrestler in Impact, and ever since he has entered Impact, he has made Impact the company it is today and says Impact needs him more than he needs Impact. He mentions how everyone talked about the moment he hit Eddie Edwards with the baseball bat to the steel chair, saying it was the best moment of Eddie's career before playing it on the video screen. Sami laughs and says that clip gets better every time he sees it, then says Eddie never learns and keeps sticking his nose in his business only to get his ass beat, which is something Sami says will keep happening until he forces Eddie out of the business. He says that his attempt at doing it again got Ken Shamrock suspended, but Shamrock is taking a vacation while he holds things down, then asks for the footage on his recent baseball bat attack to be played.

As he does, Josh Mathews gets through and enters Kenny Omega's tour bus, where he meets Omega and Don Callis.

Callis says he and Omega has planned this for years ever since Omega's uncle The Golden Sheik trained him and introduced him to his nephew Kenny, whom he looked over in his formative years like The Golden Sheik looked over him. Callis says he has come back to the wrestling world after years of inactivity for this moment, and considers himself and Omega family, then says they have changed history not once, but twice. He says the first moment was when Omega teamed with Jericho in the Tokyo Dome, and the second moment was last week on Dynamite when Omega won the AEW World Championship, saying they are righting the course of history. Callis goes on to say some people make matches and memories, but he and Omega make history. When asked if what happened last week tarnishes his legacy, Omega tells Josh Mathews that if someone struck his father figure, he would exact revenge, and says that Moxley made things personal when he laid his hands on Callis. Omega then says his legacy is not tarnished, as everybody wanted him to be champion, and that he has had numerous highly rated matches around the world. He then compares taking the AEW World Championship is like getting Action Comics #1 in his comic book collection, then says that he might add some Impact Wrestling titles to his belt collection. Moxley and Callis then say they have a big announcement tomorrow night on Dynamite, then closes out the interview with a "goodnight bang."

In footage from earlier this week, Curt Hawkins says he lost one of the biggest matches in his career against two men he has never even heard of, saying they have never been where he had been or done what he has done. He says GFW was supposed to be a fresh start for him, and now he has a lot to prove and he is not done yet.

"The Masked Saint" Bret Granstaff beats Juicy Joey.

We hear from Nick Aldis, who is focused on beating Bobby Roode in the GFW Global Championship Tournament. He says that to beat Roode, you have to bring everything you have, and in a title match, you have to bring even more. He has been in the ring with Bobby before; some times he won, some times he lost. All he can do to prepare now is to be as close to 100% as he can possibly be. As for right now, all that is on his mind is that any other distractions or problems become irrelevant, as the Global title is everything.

Chael Sonnen talks about his history with Phil Baroni, and says he is surprised that Phil Baroni turned on him.

They have laid the groundwork, the tournament has been set, and the finalists are in place. He introduces Bobby Roode, followed by Nick Aldis. Roode says he made it perfectly clear why he was coming to GFW. He does not need to be here, as he works for a real wrestling company in TNA, and has held just about every title there, including the King of the Mountain title, which he is holding now. He is here to become the first-ever GFW Global Champion, and the only thing standing in his way is Nick Adlis. They have both comea long way, and he will soo show Aldis what "The It Factor of Professional Wrestling is all about." WHe the bell rings, all he is going to do is kick Aldis' ass, and when he wins, he will take a plane to TNA headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee and have a party, or he can walk to the back, find the closest trash can he can find, throw the title in and light it on fire. When he beats Aldis for the Global title, he will do whatever he wants, and there is nothing anybody can do it. Aldis gives Roode some veteran advice: the last person who was cheerleader for the title ended up getting bitch-slapped and looking at the lights. He agrees that Roode does not need to be here, but says Roode wants to be here, and when he sees the crowd in Las Vegas, Nevada, he knows GFW is a step up. He says that Roode is hedging his bets and wants to keep one of his feet in TNA, but the real winners roll the dice. The only thing that Roode will be taking back to Dixie Carter is his size 12 foot up his rectum. Suddenly, Stu Stone and Chris Mordetzky show up. Stu Stone says Aldis has been ignoring them, but Aldis tells them to go back to the back as nobody cares what they have to say. Stu says that's not true, because when he speaks, people listen. When the time is right, Mordetzky will deliver the flowers in his hands and everything will be alright. Roode tells Aldis to take the flowers home to his wife and kids, since he will not be taking home the title. Aldis tires to attack Roode, but Chael Sonnen holds him back and allows Roode to get a piece of him. When Aldis confronts Sonnen, Roode puts Aldis in the Crossface.

Karen says it is a very exciting time to be in GFW, as they have partnered with 13 organizations around the world - and counting - and says she could not be more excited to kick off tonight's episode. Jeff says he could not be any mor eexcited as the tag team titles are on the line tonight. He says there are four distinct divisions in the company - The Women's Division, The NEX*Gen Division, The Tag Team Division and The Global Division - and they are the centerpiece of the company. He has always wanted to stand on bell-to-bell action for a foundation. Suddenly, Chael Sonnen shows up and says he is responsible for GFW's success, but says Jeff Jarrett has been ducking him while he has burned through so much of his family's money that he might as well call hi m"Dixie." Jeff Jarrett tells Chael Sonnen that he is a promoter at heart, and now is not the time or place about his request, but Chael Sonnen says it is his ring and that is is the place. Jeff Jarrett asks the crowd if they want to see Sonnen in a match, and asks if there are any takers in the crowd. He then says they will figure the match out, and when Sonnen speaks again, Karen grabs Jeff's microphone, tells Sonnen to shut up, and that while he is somebody in MMA, he is nothing in the world of professional wrestling. Sonnen says it never ceases to amaze him how much respect $10,000 worth of silicone can buy somebody, and he is not here to deal with her. He then continues to insult Jeff and Karen, and Karen slaps Sonnen in the face. Sonnen tells Jeff he will go to the graveyard and step on his old man if he has to, and says he is walking out until there is something more on the line. If he does not get him a match, he is out the door. Karen says that is good, as nobody wants to even see him.

We hear from Reno Scum (Adam Thornstowe and Luster the Legend) and The Bollywood Boyz (Harv and Gurv Sihra) prior to their match for the GFW Tag Team Championships.

Total Divas Island - Total Divas recap for December 8, 2013

John Cena and Nikki Bella play around with the muscle simulator.

Bryan and Brie work out. Nikki has been out of action for a while, and Brie has a chance at the Divas title at Night of Champions. She feels she has something to prove in this match.

Nattie and TJ come home to a dead lizard, thanks to their other cat, Charlotte. We also learn a little more about their Persian cat named Gizmo, who gets a Santa hat and beard on him. Nattie credits Gizmo with keeping TJ sane while he was off the road.

Trinity and Jon go ring shopping.

Nattie is glad to help get TJ back on the road, now that's he back in action after his knee surgery.

Brie thinks Nikki is enjoying being a housewife a bit too much, and feels she isn't being serious about her career right now. Nikki, on the other time, knows it's not her time to return and is happy to be on the sideline cheering her sister on right now.

Trinity gets her hair done at the beauty salon for a Jet photo shoot. She's going to be the Beauty of the Week and will be in a bikini for the shoot. Jon Uso is a bit apprehensive about the bikini part.

Nattie is driving when she gets a call from TJ. Gizno's polycystic kidney problems are acting up again. Nattie is shocked and saddened that this is happening as she and TJ head to the vet.

Nikki and Brie go shopping. As they speak, Brie thinks Nikki isn't as driven to get back in the ring. Again, Nikki knows it's not her time to come back yet.

Nattie gets a call from the vet. She finds out Gizmo has lost function in the back side of his body and that he has suffered a stroke. The best option is to put Gizmo to sleep. Nattie is nearly inconsolable.

Trinity and Ariane talk to Mark. Creative wants to put Trinity in a love interest storyline with another WWE Superstar. Trinity wants to take this opportunity to the fullest.

Mark talks to Nikki. The future of the Bellas seems to be in doubt, as Mark wants to know if she wants to be a singles star like Brie or continue as part of a tag team.

TJ returns on SmackDown. When Nattie says that the match tonight is for Gizmo, TJ shows some vulnerability and wonders if he can make it out there.

Nevertheless, TJ heads to the ring, taking on Bo Dallas in a dark match. Nattie is a bit nervous, because she thinks about his knee every time he takes a step. TJ is able to make ir through the match and win, and Nattie can't help but feel proud of him. After the match, Nattie notices that Gizmo's health problems are hitting TJ harder than they're hitting her.

Trinity does the Jet Magazine photo shoot. With help from Mrs. Sandra, she picks out some outfits. At first, the one-piece bikini is planned, but Trinity has to wear a two-piece for the shoot. When Jon Uso shows up and notices this, he seems a bit perturbed.

Nattie and TJ head back to the vet. As they talk, euthanasia is sadly the only option that is left. Nattie wants to spend some more time with Gizmo before they say goodbye. She does, and they sadly watch behind closed doors as they put him into a painless sleep.

The Total Divas have brunch before Night of Champions. Nattie mentions the passing away of Gizmo, but as the Divas talk, Brie and Nikki butt heads over Nikki's time off and Brie's impromptu singles push for the last five months.

Mark talks to Trinity. They tell her that her love interest storyline is killed off when Jon Uso found out about it and told them he objected to it. Trinity knows he needs to talk to Jon Uso about his jealousy issues.

Trinity talks to Brodus Clay about Jon Uso throwing a wrench in the love interest storyline. Trinity and Brodus Clay are on the same page, and Brodus tells her she needs to have a talk with Jon.

Trinity confronts Jon about throwing a wrench in her potential love interest storyline. At the end of the conversation, Jon thinks Trinity would kiss another guy in the storyline and Trinity feels Jon is being selfish. She says if that's how he wants to be, then he won't have to worry about her anymore.

Nikki finds out that she's not valeting Brie at Night of Champions, as Creative wants to push Brie as a solo star. Nikki feels that her spot is threatened as a result.

As the Divas title match happens at Night of Champions, Nikki wonders what her fate on the roster is going to be. After the match, Brie and Nikki make up as they talk with their mom.

Trinity tells Jon Uso she's riding with someone else, causing Jon to almost immediately apologize to her and admit that he does get jealous at times, and is afraid that she might fall in love with someone else and forget all about him. Trinity tells Jon that she knows what she has, and wants Jon to know that, too. They make up and head out of the arena together.

One week after Night of Champions, TJ brings home another Persian cat. Charlotte the cat has also been affected by Gizmo's absence, and TJ feels another Persian would be best for all involved. Since TJ and Natalya called Gizmo the "Louis Vitton of kitties," they name the new member of the family Louis. Natalya becomes a little more appreciative of what she has, and is also happy that TJ is back on track.

...and here's After Total Divas!

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Disco Inferno. He says that his match against Jacqueline at World War 3 was a no-win situation. He says that the locker room has no respect towards him, and if they want to say something about him, they should say it to his face.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Buff Bagwell. For years, he has heard about Lex Luger, who didn't show him anything last week. He says that WCW has kept him down for six, and says it's time to step up to the plate. He knows Luger is in the building, and if he's 1/100th of the man he is, he will accept his challenge. He says Luger can't beat him because he's buff and he's in Buffalo, New York.

We see recorded footage from Kevin Nash, who tells The Giant that he's the true giant of professional wrestling. The Giant may be bigger, but he's the best big man wrestling has ever seen. He says The Giant wanted none of him after he knocked him out with a baseball bat, and calls out The Giant for calling him out while he was injured, knowing he could beat him then. He challenges The Giant to a match at Starrcade, and this time, The Giant is injured and can't used his choke slam. He says The Giant is a giant lamb going to slaughter while he is at the top of his game.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Giant. The Giant agrees with Kevin Nash, saying he is one-dimensional. But that dimension is all he needs, and despite all that's been done to him, he's coming for Kevin Nash at Starrcade He says that there's only one giant, and it's him, and when he comes to Starrcade, he's bringing the choke slam with him.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Raven is scheduled to take on "The Crippler" Chris Benoit, but instead, the as-of-yet-unnamed newest member of his Flock fights him instead. We soon find out that his name is Lodi.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair says that Starrcade is coming soon, and he is betting on Sting to beat "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. He knows that Scott Hall and Kevin Nash are not invinicible, and that The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) will take them down. He tells Curt Hennig he wants him in a cage, where two men enter and one man walks out, and that one man walking out will be The Nature Boy. On the subject of Bret "The Hit Man" Hart supposedly joining the nWo, Flair says he would be remiss to say that Bret calling himself the greatest of all time only works when he has his own newspaper column in his own hometown, and tells him to come to Charlotte, North Carolina so he can show him real life. He says that Bret has joined the nWo to duck him, but he wants to show Bret that the best there is, was or ever will be is The Nature Boy, and comparing Bret to him is like comparing John Elway to Jim Kelly.

Hugh Morrus vs. "Macho Man" Randy Savage ends with the lights going out. When they come back on, both men and the referee are down, and Savage is seen wearing a Sting mask.

Rick Rude and Eric Bischoff show up and approach the commentary table. Rick Rude calls Mike Tenay, Tony Schiavone and Bobby "The Brain" Heenan "the three monkeys," "See No Evil, Hear No Evil, and Speak No Evil." He tells Schiavone that the fans might buy his "crap," but the nWo knows better. Rude says WCW pays them, the production crew and the power bill. He says that if they know what's going on with the lights, they had better pray that it doesn't happen again because they will be back if it does and they will take out the entire commentary team. Rude then forces Tenay and Schiavone's hands on their eyes and mouth, respectively, and Bobby Heenan gets what is going on and places his hands on the speakers of his headset to avoid having Rude put his hands on him. Rude and Bischoff leave, and the commentary team have to take a commercial break to regroup as they are amazed, horrified and fearing for their lives at Rick Rude's behavior.

Diamond Dallas Page beats Scott Hall by disqualification after the nWo runs in and attacks Page. Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up before Hall puts Page in The Outsider's Edge. Another Sting dummy drops down and crashes through the ring, and the nWo get a good laugh out of it. Hogan says that when you're with the nWo, you're with the nWo for life, and that everyone knows that Sting is a coward and that he scares him off. He says that Scott Hall is the clear-cut winner tonight just like everyone in the nWo. The nWo then pull the dummy out of the ring, and Hogan says this is the best thing that can happen as he continues to make fun of Sting, saying he and Scott Hall should be tying up as Sting is just a big disappointment. Hogan then unmasks the dummy only to find out that the dummy is the real, genuine Sting. Sting is still attached to his harness as he fights off the New World Order to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for December 8, 1997

Vince McMahon shows up to start the show. He says that there is no denying the popularity of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, but also says that Austin has been getting away with murder as of late, assaulting WWF officials and announcers, including himself. He then goes on to say that last night, Austin went too far, as he endangered the lives of the fans by driving his pick-up truck into the arena and all the way out to the ring and used it as a weapon against his opponent. He then hit a referee with the Stone Cold Stunner, albeit inadvertently, and as that referee was coming to and ready to disqualify Austin, another referee rushed in to count the pinfall for Austin. As a result, Vince McMahon demands that Austin defend the Intercontinental Championship against "The Rock" Rocky Maivia tonight. Stone Cold shows up and confronts Vince for ordering him to do something, and tells him that Stone Cold does what he wants, when he wants, and doesn't care who Vince is. Vince says he is the proud owner of the WWF and his boss as referees and officials surround the ring, and Austin says he doesn't give a damn. Vince then tells Austin there are consequences if he doesn't defend the Intercontinental Championship tonight, but Austin says he has consequences of his own, and asks the crowd to give him a "hell yeah" if they want to see Vince get his ass whipped. Vince also confronts Austin for his language, but Austin tells Vince he's going to pop a top on a beer, eat a hot dog or two and give him an answer to whether or not he will defend the title while Vince sweats, and if he has to come back to the ring, somebody might get their ass whipped.

Jerry "The King" Lawler beats Sunny to win the 1998 Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament...almost. Turns out Lawler has been caught using gum to keep his Karate Fighter in place and also seducing the opposition with another woman. As a result, the decision is reversed and Sunny wins the 1998 Karate Fighters Holiday Tournament.

Kane and Paul Bearer show up as The Legion of Doom (Road Warrior Animal and Road Warrior Hawk) takes on The Godwinns (Henry O. and Phineas I. Godwinn), who are accompanied to the ring by "Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn. With Animal hurt outside of the ring and James and Gunn hiding behind the Spanish commentary table, Hawk is the only person alone in the ring by the time Kane makes it there, and Kane hits Hawk with a Tombstone Piledriver. He gets up from that, and Kane hits him with a choke slam. Hawk still gets up, and Kane hits Hawk with a Tombstone Piledriver. This time, Hawk doesn't stir, and Kane and Paul Bearer leave. After this, James and Gunn attack Hawk, but Animal grabs a steel chair, and the tag team champs hide behind the Spanish commentary table again.

"Road Dog" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn are in the ring. They say there is no competition in the tag team division anymore, and they have proved it. They then thing Na N Hey Hey (The Goodbye Song) by Steam, and tells them goodbye and good riddance. They then say that the only thing left is singles competition, and issue an open challenge to anyone who thinks they're tough enough to take them on to come on down. They immediately get Dude Love, and Road Dogg says he wanted one guy, not three. Billy Gunn ends up wrestling him while Jesse James guests on commentary.

Dude Love beats "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn. After the match, "Road Dog" Jesse James hits Dude Love in the head with a steel chair, then places the tag team titles across Dude Love's throat before Gunn hits a leg drop on the titles. Referees and officials try to restore order.

The Buried Alive Collector's Set is available now at Target from Jakks Pacific!

"The Rock" Rocky Maivia says nobody in their right mind wants to face him one-on-one, as last night he showed the entire world that it was all about him when he kicked Austin around the ring last night (even though he lost).

In footage from last night, "Too Sexy" Brian Christopher says he should be the Light Heavyweight champion, and that he will have the last laugh against Taka Michinoku.

Jim Cornette interviews Taka Michinoku. We see footage from earlier tonight where Jim Ross teaches him a few words in English. Suddenly, Jerry "The King" Lawler appears, calling Michinoku an imposter and a phony who is "not the true champion" and saying he stole the title from Brian Christopher. He says he is only in America because there are too many people in Japan. He says he doesn't have anything against foreigners, but tells him to speak English or get out before asking him if he knows one English word. Michinoku gives him two: "You, jackass." Lawler takes off his jacket, but Cornette stops Lawler before Taka's challenger, El Unico, shows up. Lawler says that El Unico is another illegal alien and that he is still "dripping wet from swimming across the Rio Grande." He tells El Unico to go back to Mexico only to get pushed. El Unico and Taka then decide to fight off Lawler, but El Unico attacks Taka from behind and Lawler joins him before unmasking to reveal that it was Brian Christopher all along. Lawler and Christopher hit Taka with a double-team spike piledriver before Christopher and Lawler hit Taka with piledrivers of their own. Referees and officials have to get Lawler and Christopher out of the ring.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen eating a hot dog backstage...

The encore for D-Generation X: In Your House is tomorrow night at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM Central on pay-per-view.

We see the footage from One Night Only where "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels further injures The British Bulldog's knee to become the WWF European Champion, followed by the footage from two weeks ago where Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart was double-crossed by Shawn and "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley and stills from last night where Owen Hart attacked Shawn.

Kurrgan - no longer part of The Truth Commission and no longer The Interrogator, but still accompanied by The Jackyl, who guests on commentary - beats Flash Funk with a clawhold. The Jackyl says that Kurrgan's days of being a corporate sideshow freak for the WWF are over as of tonight as the revolution begins. Kurrgan refuses to let go, and Recon and Sniper try to get him off Flash Funk to no avail. Flash Funk wins the match by reverse decision. The Jackyl then slaps Kurrgan, and Kurrgan releases the hold before he and The Jackyl laugh. The Jackyl has to keep Kurrgan from turning on Recon and Sniper.

We see footage from last night where "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock tells "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels that he did what he was going to do until his goons jumped in, and if he has to join the Royal Rumble match to get to him, he feels sorry for everyone else in the match. He says it's not over by a long shot, and that he will get him.

The introduction to War Zone plays to signal the start the second hour.

D-Generation X ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna) show up. Helmsley says the military police shut down WWF Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter last night, and that the only thing Slaughter cut down was his dignity. He then tells Sgt. Slaughter that when his wife yells "The missile has landed" in her sleep, to wake her up and say it's just a dream as Triple H is too much man for both of them. Shawn says that "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock has found out that he's not quite dangerous enough to take him on before running down his recent WWF accolades. After last night, someone tried to rain on his and Triple H's parade, and that someone was Owen Hart. He has had his run-ins with the entire Hart Foundation, and D-Generation X has destroyed them once and for all. He says the entire Hart family are like one big, huge, nasty, smelly, smoking, stinking turd, and when you look down in the toilet and see that turd, it should be flushed. He says that DX did the WWF a favor by flushing the Hart family down the toilet, but there's one small, chunky nugget that always seems to come back up to the surface and keeps coming back up. He says that Owen Hart is that nugget, and knows that Owen is somewhere. He will sit in the ring until Owens shows up so he can get rid of him. He, Triple H and Chyna then decide to play poker on a table and chairs already set up in the ring. He then brings up his promise to show up in the ring naked, thanks to Chyna, and decide to make it a game of strip poker until Owens shows up. All of a sudden, The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull, 8-Ball, Chainz) show up, and the poker game has to be brought to ringside.

Los Boricuas (Jose Estrada Jr. and Jesus Castillo) beat The Disciples of Apocalypse (Skull and 8-Ball) after Savio Vega hits one of the bikers in the back of the knee with a 2x4. D-Generation X ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna) continue to play strip poker at ringside.

D-Generation X's ("The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, "Triple H" Hunter Hearst Helmsley, Chyna) strip poker game is now in the ring. Shawn strips down to his boxers after losing yet another hand. The Headbangers (Trasher and Mosh) show up and disrupt the poker game, which immediately nets them a beating from Shawn and Triple H. Mosh gets hit in the head with a steel chair, while Thrasher is power bombed onto the table. Triple H then chokes Mosh with the steel chair before stomping him in the corner. As D-Generation continues to attack Thrasher, Owen Hart comes out of the crowd, takes down Shawn and runs back into the crowd.

Vader is about to face Jeff Jarrett when Luna Vachon and Goldust arrive. Goldust opens up his black trenchoat and flashes Vader, and Vader chases after Luna and Goldust. Jeff Jarrett beats Vader by count-out.

In footage from last night, "Butterbean" Eric Esch says his match with Marc Mero was not a boxing match, and if Mero thinks he was stalking Sable, he's got another thing coming as he is stalking Mero now, and if he finds Mero, Mero is his.

Before the next match, "Marvelous" Marc Mero shows up without Sable, and brags about what he did last night, saying Butterbean was so swollen up he looked like Uncle Fester on steroids. He then shows his displeasure with Vince McMahon booking him to wrestle a "jobber," saying he always wins and a jobber always loses. He tells Salvatore Sincere that he is a jabroni and a nobody, and says Sincere not "Sal Sincere, the pizza delivery boy," but is in reality Tom Brandi. He says Brandi was given a gimmick and that he should be ashamed of himself for performing it. Mero then announces that Sable is not here as he about it bring in someone who can't do a Merosault, won the Intercontinental Champion or ever beaten anybody: "the new and improved Sable," who is really Sable in a potato sack meant to embarrass her. He tells Sable that things are done his way now and that he is the star. Mero then tells Brandi he'll kick his butt in just a second before telling Sable to disrobe her. Sable does the opposite and disrobes herself, revealing a less than modest swimsuit underneath. Mero turns around, and is shocked as he covers her up. Salvatore Sincere - or Tom Brandi, at this point - drop kicks Mero from behind, and Mero and Sable head to the back. Brandi leads a chant for Sable, and he beats Marc Mero by count-out.

Vince McMahon is ringside before the next match, and referees and officials are at ringside along with him. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin shows up, not dressed to wrestle. Austin tells Vince he's ready to fight, but at the same time, it's not that simple. He says he's not going to wrestle after all, as he has beaten "The Rock" Rocky Maivia once and asks Vince what he's prepared to do. The Rock tells Vince to fire Austin, but Vince tells him to stay out of it and tells Austin he will be forced to strip Austin of the Intercontinental Championship and give it to The Rock. Austin dares him to take the title from him and risk getting his teeth knocked out, then says there's only one championship belt in the WWF that he is interested in: the WWF Championship. He then forfeits the Intercontinental Championship to The Rock and tells him to take it, as he doesn't want it anymore. The Rock reluctantly takes it, then Austin tells him to shake his hand. He reluctantly does, then The Rock becomes the new WWF Intercontinental Champion. Austin then hits The Rock with a Stunner before taking the belt back, saying that he has plans for the belt and that if Vince wants to find out what they are, all he has to do is be here next week. As Vince leaves, Austin knocks him off the apron as he hits the ropes.
