A white limousine shows up backstage, and out of it comes Master P and The No Limit Soldiers. Curt Hennig meets them and tries to kiss up to them, going so far as to say he loves rap music. One of the Soldiers hands Master P an album, which Master P signs, and Master P hands it to him. Hennig respects Master P so much he breaks the album, jewel case and all, with his bare hands. This leads to Master P and The No Limit Soldiers going after Hennig.
It is announced that Kevin Nash will make it to The Great American Bash tonight, though he will not be at 100% due to what happened to him last week on Nitro.
Before the next match, Brian Knobbs says it is a nasty day in Baltimore, Maryland because it it Mrs. Nasty's birthday today, and he promised her a birthday present in form of destroying Hak. He proposed that he and Hak ditch all the weapons and see who's really hardcore. When the match starts, however, Knobbs is already using weapons.
Hak beats Brian Knobbs in a Kendo Stick Match that ends up being a Hardcore Match after sending Knobbs into a steel chair held by Jimmy Hart before whacking him with a Kendo stick. After the match, Hugh Morrus shows up, and Morrus, Hart and Knobbs triple-team Hak before Morrus hits Hak with a No Laughing Matter on a ladder on top of Hak and Knobbs drops off the top rope and hits the ladder with a trash can. Hak is in need of medical attention, but he is able to get up under his own power.
Backstage, Buff Bagwell thanks "Rowdy" Roddy Piper for last Thursday, and tells him he has his back tonight.
Van Hammer beats Mikey Whipwreck.
Buff Bagwell beats Disco Inferno.
Before the next match, Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum Jr. come out to new music, which features the vocals of Hennig and features a prominent "I hate rap" chorus. Also, Rey Mysterio Jr. and Konnan are seen with Master P and The No Limit Soldiers, who are all in the front row between the aisle and the ring. Hennig tells Master P that his music sounds like something he would hear in the men's room and that it belongs in the toilet. This leads to Konnan and Rey attacking Hennig and Duncum from behind to start their match early.
Konnan and Rey Mysterio Jr. beat Curt Hennig and Bobby Duncum Jr. During the match, Barry Windham, who has not been seen in some time, jumps the guardrail and goes after Konnan. Big Swoll, Master P's bodyguard, jumps the guardrail, punches Duncum from the apron and goes after Windham as Rey pins Duncum. After the match, WCW security eject Master P and The No Limit Soldiers out of the building. As this happens, Windham and Duncum attack Rey, then hold him and hogtie him before taking out Konnan.
Before the next match, Horace Hogan shows up and calls out Ernest "The Cat" Miller for hitting him with a crowbar last week, and says that everybody in the crowd as well as the black-and-white nWo would rather do than to see him get in the ring and beat the crap out of him. The Cat says he has already beaten him, and calls out Scott Norton, saying that if Norton does not show up in three minutes, he will beat the crap out of everybody in the building. Horace tells Miller that he couldn't even beat himself up, and runs in the ring and fights him, starting a match.
Ernest "The Cat" Miller beats Horace Hogan after Sonny Onoo pulls a red shoe out of his briefcase and hands it to The Cat, who puts it on and superkicks Horace with it. After the match, he puts on the other shoe as well as a red cape saying "the greatest," then limps towards the aisle before waving the cape off and dancing like James Brown.
"The Nature Boy" Ric Flair beats "Rowdy" Roddy Piper by disqualification and remains president of WCW. During the match, Flair pulls out a taped-up brass knuckle and punches Piper with it behind the referee's back, but Piper kicks out. After that, Flair goes for a Figure Four and grabs on to "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson's hands for leverage. Saturn attacks Anderson, then Buff attacks Flair, and the bell rings. Piper attacks Flair in the corner, then Piper attacks Bagwell before Anderson does the same. Flair and Anderson then hold Bagwell down as Piper whips Bagwell in the back with a leather belt. Flair and Anderson leave with Asya, but Piper whips Bagwell with the leather belt one more time.
Rick Steiner vs. Sting in a no-disqualification match ends with Rick Steiner taking Sting to the backstage area, where Tank Abbott grabs Sting from behind and Scott Steiner sics two Doberman Pinschers and a Rottweiler on Sting. All three dogs attack Sting, and WCW security has to spring into action. The camera cuts to the crowd, and Scott Steiner shows up with Rick and referee Mickey Jay. Scott says that to his understanding, falls count anywhere, and that WCW is protecting Sting because it is too graphic for WCW to show, Scott Steiner says he and Rick are doing things their way, then he tosses Mickey Jay out of the ring after he raises Rick's hand. Rick tells Sting not to come back to the dog pound, as they will cut him down to size like a pack of wild dogs like they just did. Scott goes on to say that Rick is with him in the nWo because WCW sucks, and that they are the greatest tag team in wrestling before Rick calls Baltimore, Maryland "the shittiest town in America."
The Jersey Triad (Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon) beat "The Crippler" Chris Benoit and Perry Saturn to win the WCW World Tag Team Championships for their group for the second time. During the match, it is confirmed that the dogs that have attacked Sting have been pulled off of him, and that while Sting is being tended to by trainer Danny Young, the extent of his injuries is still uncertain. Later on, Dean Malenko shows up and checks on Saturn as Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow hit Benoit with a double-team Diamond Cutter before placing Kanyon's arm on top of Benoit's chest. Malenko gets Saturn back in the ring, but by then it is too late. After the match, Malenko is hit with a double-team Diamond Cutter.
Kevin Nash retains the WCW World Heavyweight Championship against "Macho Man" Randy Savage by disqualification after he is suddenly attacked by Sid (aka Sycho Sid) as Nash fights off the interference of Miss Madness, Madusa and Gorgeous George. Sid leaves with Savage and his entourage, and helps Savage to the back.

Kanyon beats Saturn. Raven's Flock tries to get involved in the match, but they are ejected and banned from ringside by referee Nick Patrick. Later on in the match, two men dressed as Mortis appear, roll Kanyon and Saturn back into the ring, then wrestle each other upon seeing each other. This distracts Saturn, allowing Kanyon to hit the Flatliner after Saturn leaps from the top rope. One of the Mortises raises Kanyon's arm in victory, then hits him with the Evenflow DDT and reveals himself as Raven. Raven then berates Saturn for losing to Kanyon, and tells him he can't do anything right. Raven tells him to forget about it as it's only one loss, then tell Saturn he's sick of him. When he asks Saturn if he wants a piece of him, Saturn goes after Raven. Raven's Flock returns just before this happens, and try to outnumber Saturn only to be decimated as Raven leaves.
Chris Jericho beats Dean Malenko by disqualification after angering Malenko by telling him he is nothing just like his dead father. This enrages Malenko, who takes Jericho ringside and hits him with a steel chair. The match ends up turning into a brawl that goes all the way backstage and to the outside of the arena. Head of WCW Security separates both men, and Jericho runs into a building across the street. The status of the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, still held up, is up in the air.
Eddie Guerrero tells Chavo Guerrero Jr. in an interview for WCWWrestling.com that he may be overreacting and apologizes to him, saying he doesn't want to fight him, their relatives don't want them to fight and that he loves him.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, who brings out Chris Benoit. Anderson says that there were wannabes who wanted to be Horsemen who are out of here, and there are people whith aspirations and dreams to be a Horseman, and that Benoit earned the right to be a Horseman. He says that The Taskmaster's defeat was the head of the snake being severed, and that Taskmaster tried to poison the most elite fighting unit in the union of all professional sports. He says that Chris Benoit earned his stripes tonight, and tells The Dungeon of Doom they are ready for war and loaded for bear. Benoit tells The Taskmaster that he warned him not to mess with The Four Horsemen, but he didn't listen and now he has put him in his place. Anderson tells Kevin Green and Steve "Mongo" McMichael that if they needed a visual aid, they just got it. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair says he just saw Greene and McMichael with their wives, and wonders what they're thinking now before telling them to take a look at their team. Bobby "The Brain" Heenan says he's not terrified tonight. Flair says that the Horsemen are in town.

Bischoff tells them they have their match at Bash At The Beach on July 7th, then asks them a few questions. When asked if they work for the WWF, Razor and Diesel both say no. Razor tells Bischoff to forget about the past and worry about the future, and wants to know who Bischoff's three guys are. He tells Bischoff to tell "Billionaire Ted" to break out the money, because at Bash At The Beach, he and Diesel are going to carve Bischoff's guys up. Bischoff tells Razor he'll find out who the three men are tomorrow night on Nitro, but Razor thinks that Bischoff is messing with him and punches him in the gut before Diesel hits him with a Jackknife Power Bomb into a nearby table.
