Backstage, Saturn says there will be no gauntlet match, and if anyone in the Flock doesn't like it, they can take their anger out on him even though they know what he is capable of. When he came to WCW, he only trusted Raven to guide his career, and all he's heard is "What about me?" Saturn answers with "What about me? What about Saturn?" From now on, he takes care of himself, and tonight he starts with Goldberg. It's his opportunity to become United States Champion, and there's nothing anybody can do about it...not even Raven.
Before the next match, Chris Jericho shows up, calls David Penzer a dweeb who knows nothing about wrestling, and makes himself special guest ring announcer for the Cruiserweight Battle Royal. Notable introductions are for Silver King ("If he wins 12 more matches, he'll be promoted to Golden King"), El Dandy ("He is the winner of the Lou Ferrigno look-alike contest"), Lenny Lane ("I want my Loverboy tape back, Lenny Lane!") and Villano IV ("Representing Villanos I-LXII").

As Riggs breaks the lock to the cage door with bolt cutters, Hammer comes out from underneath the ring and nails Flock members with a stop sign, then handcuffs Reese to the guardrail. Two members of the riot squad come in and attack DDP, and they are none other than Kidman and Horace Boulder, who feel the bang of the Diamond Cutter. After a few Diamond Cutters - including one from Raven to DDP after a fire extinguisher shot to the head - DDP gets the win and almost immediately leaves through the crowd to celebrate. After the match, a member of the riot squad cuffs Sick Boy and Riggs to the cage, then gets in the cage to the handcuff Horace and Kidman. He then tosses Raven to the cage wall and attacks him some more before cuffing his other arm to the cage and removes his helmet to reveal himself as...Mortis, who hasn't been seen in month. He unmasks agains, this time taking his own mask off and yelling at Raven before attacking him with a steel chair. It is then revealed and realized by commentary that Mortis is the man who has worked in disguise as a member of the ring crew and as a food vendor in the last couple of months in an attempt to join Raven's Flock only to be rejected.

Everyone - the crowd, Bischoff, the referee and even ring announcer Michael Buffer - counts together, and Eric Bischoff beats Vince McMahon by count-out.

Bischoff says that McMahon will have to be counted out, as this is a sanctioned WCW/nWo event, and asks the crowd to do it together, as Bischoff was hoping McMahon would show up. Everyone - the crowd, Bischoff, the referee and even ring announcer Michael Buffer - counts together, and Eric Bischoff beats Vince McMahon by count-out.
Bret "The Hit Man" Hart beats "Macho Man" Randy Savage with the Sharpshooter. During the match, Miss Elizabeth - who hasn't been seen in weeks - argues with Piper. Savage pushes Piper, who pushes back and tells him to fight Bret. Bret kicks Savage in the groin, then hits piper in the back of the head with a foreign object, which he is almost able to use on Savage before Savage blocks it and takes it away from him. Suddenly, "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan shows up and goes for Savage's injured knee, allowing Bret to put Savage in the Sharpshooter to get the win as Piper removes the foreign object from around Savage's knuckles, believing that Savage was the one who hit him from behind and not Bret. Bret spits on Savage after the match. Also during the match, it is announced that Scott Hall is in the building and will be participating in the next match.
Scott Hall shows up for the first time in months with Kevin Nash and "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes as promised, wearing the red and black of the Wolfpac.
Sting and The Giant beat The Outsiders (Kevin Nash and Scott Hall) to become the WCW World Tag Team Champions after Scott Hall takes one of the tag team belts and hits Kevin Nash in the back with it as he has The Giant ready for the Jackknife Power Bomb, betraying Nash and putting an end to The Outsiders. Sting stands on the apron in disbelief as Scott Hall embraces The Giant before placing his nWo Wolfpac tanktop on top of a downed Nash. The Giant tells Sting to make the right choice.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund plus the WCW Hotline, announcing that there is an interim change in talent coordination in WCW, and that the exclusive details are on the Hotline, as well as news that a WCW Superstar may be leaving. Suddenly, "Macho Man" Randy Savage shows up with Miss Elizabeth, takes Okerlund's microphone and shoos him away before he and Miss Elizabeth head to the ring. Savage rattles off some name from the New World Order, and says that Diamond Dallas Page doesn't want to feel the madness or want a piece of him anymore. Page shows up in the crowd with a bent crutch in his hands, and his advance towards the ring proves otherwise. Eric Bischoff shows and helps Savage to the entrance ramp where Buff Bagwell, Vincent and Scott Norton wait as Bischoff, and Page says that Savage doesn't want to feel the madness anymore, and implies that Savage is running to Hogan by saying that Savage is going to his house to wash his car and kiss his ass. Savage tells the nWo that he's taking care of business. Savage then slowly heads to the ring, but when he slides in, Page bashes him with the crutch. When the rest of the nWo get in, they feel that crutch, too, but Scott Norton is able to get his hands on Page and slug him, ripping his shirt off and exposing his taped ribs. As the nWo stomp on Page, The Giant runs in and comes to the aid of Page. Savage tries to get back into the ring, but the nWo have to hold him back.
