Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 19, 2026

Gunther heads to the ring. He says that "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles made a mistake coming into their match with blinders on and being so focused on making him tap out that he forgot he was in the ring with the greatest wrestler in WWE. Gunther says his future looks very bright and will lead him back to the World Heavyweight Championship; therefore, he is declaring for the men's Royal Rumble match. As he reminds everyone how he lasted over one hour in the Royal Rumble, AJ Styles' entrance theme hits, and Styles heads to the ring. Styles knows that Gunther wants to move on, but he does not, and he demands a rematch at Royal Rumble. Gunther says he does not plan on pulling double duty and declines, but Styles accuses Gunther of being a coward as he leaves. Styles admits Gunther's hand may have been raised, but he beat himself when he did not rip his leg off and beat him with it, and tells Gunther that he "tapped out like a little bitch" to the Calf Crusher. He tells Gunther to admit if he is scared so they can both move on, and Gunther says he proved he is the smarter and better wrestler compared to Styles, and states that there is no incentive to wrestle him again. Gunther declines again, but he does not leave the ring when he gets an idea that there is something that Styles can do to get a rematch. Gunther stipulates that Styles must put his career on the line, then tells Styles to think about it and to think if this is a hill worth dying on before demanding his answer by the end of the night, unless Styles is "a little bit scared."



Backstage, Maxxine Dupri is met by Natalya, who wants to be in Maxxine's corner so that what happened between Maxxine and Becky Lynch does not happen tonight. Maxxine is happy, and says that she will see Natalya out there.

Becky Lynch retains the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship against Maxxine Dupri. During the match, Natalya puts Becky's foot on the rope during a pinfall attempt, and that allows Becky to hit the Manhandle Slam to win and retain. After the match, Natalya attacks Maxxine and eventually puts her in the Sharpshooter.



Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce talks with "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, telling him that he does not have to take Gunther's challenge. Styles says he will talk to his wife, and as he leaves, "The Oracle" Paul Heyman shows up. Pearce laughs, saying he has been thinking about Heyman and has had a great week, then says Bron Breakker is still suspended. Pearce tells Heyman that The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) should be on their best behavior, because he will be ringside for their match.

Backstage, Raquel Rodriguez tells the rest of The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, Liv Morgan, Roxanne Perez) that Stephanie Vaquer is still not medically cleared, and that when Vaquer does come back and put the Women's World Championship on the line, she will beat her worse than she did last week. Liv says that 2026 will be their year, as Finn and Raquel are about to become world champions while she and Roxanne are going to be Women's Tag Team Champions. Finn says that they are on his island tonight and that he is not leaving without the World Heavyweight Championship.

"Main Event" Jey Uso shows up in the crowd, says that he is here tonight and that he is declaring for the men's Royal Rumble match. He says that he will become a back-to-back Royal Rumble winner, and that he is firing his warning shot.

Backstage, General Manager Adam Pearce runs into The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) and Grayson Waller, who demand their World Tag Team title rematch. Pearce gives them an opportunity next week in a Fatal 4-Way match, where the winning team will get a title shot. Adam Pearce then heads to ringside for the next match.

Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee and Penta beat The Vision ("Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory)in a six-man tag match. During the match, both General Manager Adam Pearce and "The Oracle" Paul Heyman argue on the ring apron, but when Logan Paul passes the brass knuckles to Austin Theory, Adam Pearce catches them out and the referee stops whatever plans Theory had with the brass knuckles with Pearce's help, as Pearce takes the brass knuckles away. Paul Heyman confronts Adam Pearce, and Rey Mysterio uses the brass knuckles - which Pearce has left on the ring apron - against Logan Paul before Penta hits Austin Theory with a Mexican Destroyer for the win.



Backstage, Jackie Demond interviews CM Punk. Punk says he is playing an away game going into double overtime, and that he wants the game on his stick. He says that this is the kind of pressure that gets him out of bed in the morning and proves he is the best in the world, and that this pressure will break Finn Balor.

WWE acknowledges Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States.

Backstage, "The Oracle" Paul Heyman rushes to catch up with General Manager Adam Pearce (and as he does, a boom mic hits him in the head). Heyman hands Pearce a phone and says he may want to take that phone call.



Iyo Sky and Rhea Ripley head to the ring. Rhea mentions their Women's Tag Team Championship defense against Liv Morgan and Roxanne Perez at Saturday Night's Main Event, then asks when they are going to learn that when it comes to them, "Rhiyo" is always on top. Rhea also announces that once they win and retain at Saturday Night's Main Event, they will be participating in the women's Royal Rumble match. All of a sudden, Liv and Roxanne show up, and Liv says that Rhea and Iyo are more delusional than they thought and that she is taking the women's tag titles back. She also advises Iyo to dump Rhea before she turns on her, stating that Rhea's selfishness will get the better of her and leave her with no one. Roxanne announces that she, Liv and Raquel Rodriguez will all also be entering the women's Royal Rumble match and that one of them will headline WrestleMania. Rhea chalks this all up to projection, then asks how the three of them being in the Royal Rumble match will work.

Rhea Ripley fights back, but the numbers game takes over, and Liv hits Rhea with Ob-Liv-Ion.

El Grande Americano beats Je'Von Evans by referee stoppage after Je'Von Evans gets injured. Early in the match, El Grande Americano accidentally bump heads at the ring apron following a back drop.



Backstage, Jackie Redmond interviews Finn Balor. Finn says the magnitude of tonight is not lost on him, but it may be lost on CM Punk. He says that Punk is a fighting champion and that he respects him, but he questions his judgment, for he is on his island in front of his people, and in Belfast, Northern Ireland, there will be a new Irish World Heavyweight Champion.

We see a vignette for Oba Femi.

Backstage, The Vision ("The Oracle" Paul Heyman, "Big" Bronson Reed, Logan Paul, Austin Theory) run into General Manager Adam Pearce. Pearce asks for Bron Breakker to meet with him next week so they can iron things out, and that the recent phone call had nothing to do with it. Heyman says that can be done before mockingly telling Pearce to be on his best behavior.

Pearce makes Gunther vs. Styles with Styles' career on the line official for Royal Rumble.

Styles arrives first and immediately signs the contract, followed by LA Knight (who also immediately signs), Randy Orton (who also immediately signs) and Roman Reigns. Instead of Roman, however, Paul Heyman shows up. Heyman says that the contract for the match has yet to have been put forth to Roman's attorney; therefore, Roman will not the sign the contract on this evening. Nick Aldis says that this is absolutely fine, as the three signatures that are already on it make it so that they can wrestle for the "vacant" Undisputed WWE Championship. An incensed Heyman heads to the ring apron and tells Aldis that he is concerned about him, as he looks good despite the "mediocre" job that he does, yet has no way to sell this match to the fans, the board of direction, or Roman Reigns. As Heyman says Roman should be defending the title in a one-on-one match, LA Knight tells Heyman to shut up, sayin it should be a one-on-one match after Roman's cousins saved him before threatening to beat Heyman up. He also says that "Johnny-come-latelys" Randy Orton and AJ Styles showed up and walked into the picture, but Styles tells him that he walked over him to get his shot at Roman and lose, and that he should be lucky to be in the match. Knight tells Styles to watch the bass in his voice, then says he will become the champion and that if he has to walk over him again and be the one to leave him laying, he will do it.

We then see footage from WrestleMania 37 where Owens gave Logan Paul a Stunner, and Logan says that he had to prove that he belonged in WWE as the crowd chants "one more time." Owens says he barely remembers giving Logan Paul a Stunner, then says that he has done this for almost 25 years and is but one of many that he has hit with the Stunner, and thought of Logan as "just another celebrity guest." He gives credit to Logan for sticking around and getting much better at wrestling than anyone would ever has thought, but as good as he is, he is not him. Logan says he is "one of one" and would rather not be one of the guys in the back, then says he is a multi-talented billionaire while "Kevin Owens is Kevin Owens." Owens says that he has heard everything Logan has said about him, then says there is a lot of things that Owens cannot mention about Logan is because Logan is "protected and sheltered" and given all the tools needed to win a title. He then says that while Logan made use of those tools to win a title, that makes him a joke that he has to end at Royal Rumble. Logan then says that Owens' right hand is protected and that Owens only knocked him out because he had a cast on. Logan then says he has knocked out everyone that he has clean and that it will only take a few seconds for him to knock Owens. Owens says that for the last ten years, he has proven that he can take a lot of punishment and can still get back up, and that there is no punch Logan can throw that can knock him out for three seconds. Owens then gives him his word that he will not have his cast on at Royal Rumble, then takes it off. When Owens turns his back to take the cast off, Logan punches Owens in the face.

He says that they will meet face-to-face next week, and then, the world will see who the true "All Mighty" actually are.

Backstage, Cathy Kelley interviews Carmelo Hayes. Carmelo Hayes that things like what happened last week happen, and that he and Austin Theory were able to walk away from it.

Austin Theory and Grayson Waller show up, and Theory takes the interview as Carmelo getting rewarded with an interview in his own city. Carmelo challenges him for next week, and as Theory says he is busy, Grayson accepts on his behalf, much to Theory's chagrin.

He says he has been to Hell and that it has been very liberating, then says nobody can put him through more hell than he has already been through and says that if people thought he was dangerous now, then he is thirsty and all he drinks is blood.



Backstage, we hear from MJF and Wardlow. MJF says that instead of taking the loss on the chin, Punk took the easy way out against Wardlow. He apologizes to Wardlow - whose birthday is today - then docks his pay for putting his hands on him, saying the money will go back up if he can qualify for the World title picture.

When Billy grabs him, Christian pushes his arm away only to be attacked from behind by Austin and Colten Gunn, and Austin says "Statement made."

"The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes heads to the ring, which has a giant ladder in it. Cody says he is reminded from the last match of CM Punk's "Pipebomb" promo, then says that Punk laid out a roadmap of things that were taboo at the time, such as working with other companies and teaming with The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson). He says that Punk would eventually do these things in AEW in what would be "the comeback of the decade," yet in his absence, somebody did do every one of those things: him. Cody says he held every grain of that revolution in his hands and people cheered, and says he will not turn heel because people cheered when he needed them the most. On the subject of "The Forbidden Door," he was the one who built it, then says that in the two weeks he was gone, The Young Bucks nearly started the Wednesday Night Wars all over again, Ricky Starks started a fight with Jay Lethal, and Brody King had the balls to show up.

After the match, Malakai Black asks that the members of The House of Black rise before PAC shows up on the video screen to state that he has found a new vision and purpose, and that he sees Malakai as just the same as every other cretin in AEW: self-obsessed and power-hungry.

The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson) show up. Anderson asks Gallows how many more times they have to continue proving that they are the draw of the entire wrestling world as he talks about how they set the wrestling world on fire Saturday and made headlines. Gallows says this is what they do and why they are the placeholders of the industry, and that they will keep the Impact World Tag Team Championships as long as they please. Suddenly, Chris Sabin shows up. Sabin says that while he knows The Good Brothers want to treat Impact like their own personal tour bus, he cannot tell if they are drunk or stupid, as The Motor City Machine Guns were not pinned when they lost the tag titles. Sabin demands a tag team title rematch, but Gallows tells him he has no business doing so because he has no tag team partner, but Sabin says he has a partner who knows a lot about tag team wrestling: "The Cowboy" James Storm. Storm introduces himself to The Good Brothers, then says he and Sabin want the tag team titles and tells them to put up or shut up. Suddenly, Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) - members of the All Elite Wrestling roster - show up. After talking about their six-man tag team match against Matt Sydal and Top Flight (Darius and Dante Martin) tomorrow night on Dynamite, he announces that he has brought Private Party in for a warm-up match. Storm tells Matt Hardy this was a private conversation, not a private party, but Hardy says everyone else should be praising him for putting Impact Wrestling on his back and saved it from bankruptcy in 2016, and also mentions how he and Jeff Hardy lost the tag team titles in a "teleportation gone wrong" angle. He then says the warm-up match should be against The Good Brothers, and after mentioning how he and Jeff Hardy lost the tag titles, Gallows says Private Party and the team of Sabin and Storm should fight it out to see who faces them for the tag titles.

Bravo joke that Taya might do time in Jacksonville, Florida; Stanford, Connecticut or Baltimore, Maryland - references to All Elite Wrestling, WWE and Ring of Honor respectively.) Rosemary scares security away and confronts Taya for her behavior. Taya says she does not regret having Rosemary as a friend regardless of what happens. Taya is hauled off, and Crazzy Steve shows up. Rosemary says this is why she does not have friends, as it never works out. After Rosemary asks if this frightens Steve, Steve says this excites him. (This ends up being Taya Valkyrie's last appearance in Impact Wrestling, as her contract has expired.)

We hear from Tony Schiavone, who takes it to Tony Khan and Jerry Lynn. Khan says he and Jerry will be watching closely as Matt Hardy and Private Party (Marq Quen and Isiah Kassidy) appear on tonight's show.

Afterwards, Khan says Matt Hardy is at Impact because he asked him to be there and that he expects results. It is then revealed that Jerry Lynn and Tony Khan are in the arena right now.



Rich Swann shows up. Swann says he felt the pressure of being Impact World Champion and leading the company into war at Hard To Kill, saying he lives and thrives off that pressure and that he, Chris Sabin and Moose left their hearts in the ring. He admits he had some trust issues with Moose given what all Moose has done, but that his attention was on Kenny Omega and The Good Brothers ("The Big LG" Doc Gallows and "Machine Gun" Karl Anderson). Now that Moose has his attention, he wants him to get in the ring so they can settle things. Moose shows up and reminds Swann that people make bad decisions when they are angry and that those decisions tend to make him angry, then says nothing between them will be settled until he gets a World title shot. Swann then gives Moose a World title shot right then and there, but Moose says he says when they will go at it because Swann is on his time. Swann asks what they will do now before starting a brawl.

Brian Myers beats Fallah Bahh with a kick to the groin following an inadvertent eye poke from Fallah Bahh.



Backstage, Gia Miller interviews Ace Austin and Madman Fulton. Austin says what happened at Hard To Kill was a tragedy, as he was forced to sit on a countdown show panel and comment on a match, and says "The Walking Weapon" Josh Alexander's time as a tag team champion is done and that Alexander should fade into the background. Ace Austin also shows his disgust with having to face Matt Cardona instead of taking part in the X Division Championship match. Suddenly, Alexander shows up and says he will make sure Austin will not reach his potential and that opportunities are earned. After Alexander shoves Austin, Fulton grabs Alexander from behind. As Austin is about to punch Alexander, Matt Cardona shows up and beats up Austin, forcing Austin and Fulton to retreat.

Backstage, a trainer tends to Eddie Edwards and tells him not to do barbed wire matches anymore. Suddenly, Brian Myers demands the doctor tend to his poked eye while calling Eddie "a backyarder."

Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 19, 2015

WWE remembers Martin Luther King, Jr.



Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman start the show, and Lesnar immediately calls out Seth Rollins. Rollins has ten seconds, and he doesn't show up...but Triple H does. He wants Brock Lesnar to calm down and also wants to put the whole thing with last week's contract signing behind them. Lesnar asks Triple H if he's here to fix this or if he's here to fight. Stephanie McMahon, Kane and Big Show try to de-escalate this, but Seth Rollins appears on the TitanTron and tells Lesnar to wait for his shot at him at Royal Rumble. Heyman tells Rollins to "let the adults speak" and says Lesnar will still be champ after Sunday night. John Cena shows up and says the plot to get rid of him as well as the recent guilt-tripping concerning the firings of Dolph Ziggler, Ryback and Erick Rowan won't work, then calls HHH and Stephanie "the world's biggest ash-holes." Stephanie tries to guilt-trip Cena again, saying he's not the Cena he used to be, and Seth Rollins says that nobody wants to see Cena win. Cena says we'll see about that, and that if he wins the title on Sunday, then Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan get their jobs back. Triple H decides to make a match tonight, and if he wins it, they're re-hired. If he loses, they're still fired and he's no longer in the title match at Royal Rumble. Triple H then decides to hold a WWE App vote to see if people want him to risk his title opportunity this Sunday to get them re-hired.



Bray Wyatt beats Daniel Bryan after Kane interferes behind the referee's back. After the match, Kane attacks Daniel Bryan.



Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Kevin Nash, Scott Hall and X-Pac are all in the same room. Damien Mizdow does his best X-Pac impression, but The Miz isn't pleased with this.



We see the Royal Rumble Legends Panel: Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Hulk and HBK say Cena should risk his title opportunity, Flair says he should not. They all come to agreement on one thing, though: the Royal Rumble match is a dangerous, unpredictable match that should not be taken lightly. HBK thinks Bray Wyatt will win the Rumble, while Hulk Hogan picks Daniel Bryan and Ric Flair picks Dean Ambrose. Suddenly, Big Show comes out and says he doesn't see legends in the ring, but "washed-up has beens." Show says they didn't pick him to win the Royal Rumble match because "they're jealous of him," when Show clearly knows he's beaten them all at various points in his career. Show says he's going to win the Rumble, since there's nobody in the back who can toss him over the top rope, and tells the Legends to leave the ring and "go back to the old folks' home." Instead, Flair fights him off only to get knocked out...then Roman Reigns shows up ready to do the same to Big Show. Show tells him to get out of the ring before he gets knocked out. Roman Reigns fights Show and sends him over the top rope, forcing Show to retreat.

Renee Young interviews John Cena. The WWE App vote has concluded, and the WWE Universe has voted by a landslide to see him fight. Cena's ready to do just that.

Dean Ambrose beats Bad News Barrett after reversing Wasteland.



The Royal Rumble match, by the numbers.



The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Big E) beat Cesaro and Tyson Kidd.



This Thursday's match between Daniel Bryan vs. Kane on SmackDown is now a no-disqualification match!

Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and X-Pac show up for the New World Order reunion. Without them, there would be no Monday Night War. As they speak, The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) suddenly show up and proclaim they're better than everyone. Suddenly, JBL takes off the commentary headset and proclaims he's had enough. He takes off the shirt to reveal an Acolytes Protection Agency T-shirt underneath, Ron Simmons show up, and before they can fight The Ascension, The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) make a surprise appearance. They say that the ring contains racehorses and thoroughbreds, but calls The Ascension "jackasses" before fighting them. The Outlaws completely destroy The Ascension, then JBL hits the Clothesline From Hell on Viktor.



Triple H and Stephanie McMahon announce John Cena's opponent: Seth Rollins, Big Show and Kane. All the while, they use a drum roll guy that they constantly give crap, and a guy with a horn plays "Taps" afterwards.



The Bella Twins (Brie and Nikki Bella) guest on commentary for the next match.

Paige and Natalya beat Alicia Fox and Summer Rae with the PTO.



The Royal Rumble kick-off match will be The New Day (Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Big E) vs. Cesaro, Tyson Kidd and Adam Rose.

After the match, Triple H wants Sting, whom he says doesn't belong here. Not long after, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman show up, and Lesnar lays waste to Rollins, Kane and Show.





Here's the top 10 moments from tonight's show!

Saturday Morning Slam Masters - Saturday Morning Slam recap for January 19, 2013

SmackDown General Manager Booker T guests on commentary this week.

Natalya beats Alicia Fox with the Sharpshooter.

Sheamus is this week's Saturday Morning Spotlight.

Before the next match, Sheamus welcomes everyone to Saturday Morning Slam and talks about how he spent his Saturday mornings watching WWF Superstars with his grandmother and enjoying Superstars such as "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Bret "The Hit Man" Hart and "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels. Years later, he is now a WWE Superstars, and there is no greater feeling in the world. He then declares that he wants the World Heavyweight Championship back, and he wants to prove himself against the biggest, baddest, toughest Superstar the world has ever seen. Unfortunately, that Superstar wasn't available, so he brings out Michael McGillicutty.

Sheamus warns us: Don't Try This.

Sheamus beats Michael McGillicutty. During the match, Sheamus and McGillicutty hit the ropes on opposite sides of the ring, and Sheamus sneaks over to the commentary table for a sip of bottled water. This continues until the commercial break, when McGillicutty is finally winded. Sheamus checks on him and offers him some water, then is shocked when he sees Sheamus and shouts "Are you kidding me? This is supposed to be serious! I am a serious wrestler! This is a joke!" He then rolls out of the ring and tries to hide from Sheamus. Unfortunately for McGillicutty, Sheamus finds him and kicks him in the rear end. Later in the match, Sheamus gets McGillicutty in the airplane spin, and McGilicutty gets the referee in a schoolboy pin. McGillicutty thinks he has won after Sheamus makes the three-count, then Sheamus raises McGillicutty's hand before hitting him with White Noise for the win.

Natalya interviews The Miz. Next week, The Miz will face Darren Young. Miz says that The Prime Time Players (Titus O'Neil and Darren Young) remind him of himself when he started out in the WWE: young, hungry and entertaining. The Prime Time Players show up, and Titus blows the whistle on Miz. Titus calls foul on The Miz comparing himself to them, and Darren Young tells Miz he is played out. Titus tells Miz talk is cheap, but when The Prime Time Players talk, you can take it to the bank. Miz cuts the "millions of dollars" dance short and tells them to go to Las Vegas to bet on him taking Darren Young out. Miz leaves, then Darren Young tells Miz he is going to get done in next week.

Now go watch Sheamus' entrance video!

Nitro-Glycerin - Monday Nitro recap for January 19, 1998

The show starts with a performance by The Nitro Girls.

Rick Martel beats Eddie Guerrero with the Quebec Crab.

Eric Bischoff and "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan show up. Bischoff says that while Hogan was proving he was the real World Heavyweight champion and stealing Sting's dreams and soul, he had the honor of appropriating his baseball bat, as Hogan is the glue that holds the nWo - and the entire industry - together. He then presents the bat to Hogan so that Hogan can continue to control the world as he sees fits. Hogan says it's not a situation of "spare the rod, spoil the child," and admits there tensions are high in the nWo, but the nWo is falling in line as there is a pecking order and he is the one running everything. If anyone steps out of line, it'll be "batter up," even if he loves them like a father. He says that the nWo has shown WCW legally, physically and emotionally that they are here for life. He says that he is the true World champion, that he will never be beaten for a three count, and that the fans pray for the situation to be rectified as he has beaten Sting. Hogan then says that people are asking why Hogan wants to beat up The Giant and just accept his belt gracefully after the paperwork is put aside, and then says he is a fighting champion and the man the fans - his disciples - worship each and every day. He then says he can beat The Giant tonight, and then he'll beat Sting when he gets in the ring again.

"The Crippler" Chris Benoit beats Marty Jannetty with the Crippler Crossface as Raven's Flock (Raven, Saturn, Billy Kidman, Sick Boy, Lodi, Van Hammer, Scotty Riggs) shows up. Sick Boy attacks Benoit, but Benoit puts him in the Crippler Crossface. Marty Jannetty tries to fight Raven's Flock, and he helps Benoit clean house as Lodi becomes the next victim of a top rope diving headbutt.

Ernest "The Cat Miller" beats Jerry Flynn. Before the match, it is announced that WCW Nitro is now available for the Sony PlayStation.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Scott Hall shows up. After the usual nWo survey, Scott Hall calls out "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko, mentions that he gets a World title shot at SuperBrawl in February, and gives Zbyszko a chance to bow out gracefully as he has more important things to take care of than him. He mentions Zbyszko being AWA World Heavyweight Championship when the owner was his father-in-law and that the company went out of business with him as champion. He says that Zbyszko isn't he best and definitely not Dusty Rhodes, who got him started. He says that Zbyszko wants no part of him, but Zbyszko tells him he wants every part of him. He slowly approaches the ring as the show goes to break.

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beats Vicious and Delicious (Buff Bagwell and Scott Norton), but Ted DiBiase and Rick Steiner confront Scott for not tagging Rick in. Scott runs right into Rick for a few seconds, then leaves the ring.

Pyrotechnics signal the start of the second hour.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews The Giant. The Giant tells "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan he has a choke slam for him. Suddenly, Hogan shows up with Kevin Nash. Hogan is carrying Sting's baseball bat while Nash has a pot of coffee. As Nash taunts The Giant right in his face, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up and tries to go after Nash again. Savage leaves, but Savage gets back in the ring and pushes Hogan into Nash. The Giant is about to choke slam Nash when Nash tosses the coffee into The Giant's face and Hogan hits The Giant with the bat. Sting then shows up and hits Hogan with the Scorpion Death Drop to reclaim his bat. Sting then says something into The Giant's ear, which fires him up.

We see another performance by The Nitro Girls.

Booker T retains the WCW World Television Championship against Mortis. Before the match, it is announced that starting next week, Nitro will officially go to three hours and that this episode will go past two hours. After the match, Wrath goes on the attack and hits Booker T with the Death Penalty. Rick Martel shows up and returns the favor for Booker T, confronting Wrath. Wrath leaves along with James Vandenberg. Booker T thanks Rick Martel, who asks for the title shot at Souled Out. Booker T tells Rick Martel to sort it out with the WCW Executive Committee, and he's got his title shot.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. Flair wonders what everyone will call him after he beats Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at Souled Out. Suddenly, Bret shows up, and says he knows Flair has a lot of problems and a lot of respect from other people, and tells Flair that he has a lot of respect for him to the point that he'd be the last person to say he's not a credit to the sport, as he agrees that he is one of the greatest wrestlers of all time. He wants him to understand one thing: he grew up with wrestling his entire life, he has waited for this very moment, and he didn't come out here to disrespect Flair, America or WCW, and that he knew he had to earn a reputation when he came here as it was akin to starting his career. He says that Saturday will be a long day for Flair, as he has one mission and one goal: running right over him. Bret then says that after Souled Out, Flair will feel his words that he is the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be. Flair says it is moments like this that people remember for a long time, as when they both say they're best and have the opportunity to prove it, one of them will come up short. Flair says he might love his father and his family and respect his heritage, but he won't let Bret tell him one more time that he's a better wrestler than he is. Flair tells Bret he won't fight him tonight as he's going downtown, he gives Bret a chance to either say he's the best or he can do the "best there is" line again. Bret says he's going downtown tonight, too, and he tells Flair that come Sunday, those words will be ringing in his ears.

Chris Jericho beats Juventud Guerrera with the Lion Tamer, and puts it on him for a few seconds. After the match, Jericho says he didn't realize that Guerrera was tapping out and that the referee didn't make it clear enough to him. He says this will never happen again, then apologizes to Guerrera. When Guerrera refuses to listen to him, Jericho attacks Guerrera, and Rey Mysterio Jr. shows up to fight Jericho. Jericho and Guerrera team up to give Jericho what for and toss him over the top rope.

Robert Rice of Warren, Michigan is the winner of this week's Nitro Prize Pack. We see footage of his Nitro party.

Lex Luger beats Scott Hall by disqualification after "Macho Man" Randy Savage interferes. Luger fights off both men, but the numbers game catches up to him. "The Living Legend" Larry Zbyszko gets in the ring, but he doesn't fare any better until Lex Luger rushes back into the ring with a steel chair to send Hall and Savage running out of the ring.

Before the next match, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan suddenly shows up in a neck brace. Eric Bischoff says that due to the actions of The Giant, Hogan will not be able to participate in the main event tonight. This doesn't stop The Giant, who grabs Hogan from outside of the ring and rips the neck brace off.

The Giant beats "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. During the match, Hogan body slams The Giant and hits the leg drop, but the referee stops the count when he sees "Macho Man" Randy Savage on the top rope. Giant hits the choke slam and gets the win, and when he goes after Savage, Kevin Nash attacks The Giant from behind. He almost puts The Giant in the Jackknife Power Bomb when Lex Luger attacks him. The rest of the New World Order rushes in and attacks Luger, then Sting drops down from the rafters and confronts Hogan in the ring. He and Luger fight off the entire nWo along with The Giant to end the show.
