He says there is not many people who would come back after the two beatings he has given him. At Royal Rumble, they will find out how tough Shawn really is, as he can do with Shawn what he wants to do when he fees like it, and there is nothing he or D-Generation X (Shawn, Triple H, Chyna, "Ravishing" Rick Rude) can do about it.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels apologizes for not being defensive enough after accusations of being defensive last week. He does not mind humiliation or being whacked with a TV camera, but he does have a problem with Jose Lothario being attacked with a TV camera, and says his emotions got the best of him last week even though he is emotional inside and outside of the ring. He says the same element that cheers Sycho Sid also cheers his flamboyant, and when his name is on the card, he gives the people what they want, as he is "a man's man." He promises he will come through at Royal Rumble and become WWF Champion again, and shuts down any doubt that he is a good role model, saying that he will continue to tell the truth, speak his mind and be who he is.

Sid and Bret stare down when Austin returns and knees Bret from behind, allowing Sid to choke slam Bret. Austin says he had Sycho Sid in the middle of the ring where he wanted him when the interference happens. The British Bulldog says he came back to stick it to Austin, and Owen tells him not to worry about Austin as they are tag team champions and that they need to focus on "Diesel" and "Razor Ramon" and the tag team titles. Bret "The Hit Man" Hart tells Bulldog he returned the favor, and tells Austin that he'll see him down the road. All Bret is focused on is taking the WWF Championship from Sycho Sid on December 15th. Sid says everyone is sticking their nose in his business, and that they messing with the champion, master and ruler of the world.

Jerry "The King" Lawler makes fun of Jake "The Snake" Roberts and implies that Roberts has relapsed on his alcohol addiction yet again before the next match. Jake "The Snake" Roberts shows up with a bag with the snake in one hand and a bottle in a paper bag in the other, revealing that Roberts is drunk. WWF President Gorilla Monsoon shows up and checks on Roberts, and we find out it's all a set-up. After the break, Jake "The Snake" Roberts beats Jerry "The King" Lawler with a single DDT, then grabs the bottle of Jim Beam in the paper bag and pours it on Lawler's face before he sics Revelations on him.

Faarooq Asaad beats Alex "The Pug" Porteau.

The rain has stopped, but The Undertaker says that this is only the calm before the real storm. He tells Mankind that he grew stronger and evil the more he evaded his grasp, and now he must be his judge, jury and executioner, and if it takes destroying The Undertaker to destroy Mankind, then so be it. He then tells Mankind to imagine what it will be like when he is buried alive and unable to rest in peace.

Vader and Jim Cornette are watching the main event from backstage. Jim Cornette says what he sees does not impress him, and he and Vader plan to be in the title hunt again after Survivor Series.

Sycho Sid tells Vader that he plans to lift him seven feet in the air and drop him to the mat at In Your House: Buried Alive. He apologizes to "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, as he will have to face him at Survivor Series.

"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels vs. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin ends when Vader interferes. Savio Vega shows up to even the numbers game, but eats a Stone Cold Stunner from Austin. Austin and Vader continue to attack Shawn before Sycho Sid gets in the ring and forces Vader to retreat.
