• Vince McMahon Interview.
-Vince McMahon was with The Big Boss Man, Pat Patterson, Gerald
Brisco, Commissoner Slaughter, and a ton of lawyers. McMahon took
notice that Stone Cold Steve Austin was in the arena. McMahon
said he held Austin, the fans, and his associates responsible for
Austin's attack the previous week on Raw is War. McMahon said the
papers Austin handed him were legal documents. McMahon introduced
his lawyers, and said he would fight Austin in court. Austin
appeared on the Titan Tron, and basically showed he wasn't scared
of McMahon.
• X-Pac and Steve Blackman
went to a No-Contest, to let X-Pac retain the European Title.
-Backstage, Vince McMahon told his lawyers he wanted Stone Cold
Steve Austin's document broken. In the match, Steve Blackman
clothes-lined X-Pac on the outside of the ring. As X-Pac was
recovering, Steven Regal ran down, and began to attack X-Pac. The
New Age Outlaws came down to make the save. Regal was held back
by several officials.

• The Rock defeated Darren
Drozdov (w/Animal and Hawk) with the People's Elbow.
-After Darren Drozdov missed a clothes-line, The Rock hit the
Rock Bottom, followed by the People's Elbow, to take the win. It
should be noted that Hawk inadverently distracted the referee
during the match, which let The Rock take advantage of the
situation, and nail Drozdov with a low-blow. Following the match,
Hawk went to go check-up on Droz, but was then left in the ring
alone, after Animal and Droz left.
• Backstage, Michael Cole asked Stone Cold Steve Austin what was inside the legal document he gave Vince McMahon. Austin talked to someone in the background, and said "we" would have a statement later in the show.
• Backstage, two of Vince McMahon's lawyers walked out of the conference room, and said McMahon just didn't get it.

(w/Christian) with the Choke Slam.
-After Kane took the match with the Choke Slam, Gangrel and
Christian began to attack him. Kane got right back up from the
attack, and in came Edge. Edge helped Gangrel and Christian
attack Kane, proving he had turned to Gangrel. Kane got back up
again, and Gangrel, Edge, and Christian left through the crowd
together.

• Stone Cold Steve Austin
Interview.
-Stone Cold Steve Austin mentioned he did exactly what he said he
would do to Vince McMahon the previous week on Raw is War. Austin
pulled out a brand-new contract he received from the WWF, and
announced he was back. The contract guaranteed he would get at
least one title shot. Vince McMahon appeared by the entrance-way,
with his associates and The Big Bossman. McMahon said his lawyers
couldn't do anything about the contract, but announced Austin
would take on Ken Shamrock in an "I Quit" (submission)
match later in the show. Shane McMahon made his way into the
ring, with his dad, Vince, telling him to "get back over
here." Shane said he doesn't listen to his dad anymore.
Shane said what his dad to Austin was wrong. Shane announced he
was the one that re-hired Austin. Shane said after 28 years, he
finally got his dad's attention. Shane said he was tired of his
dad's ego, and said Vince never cared about him. Shane continued
to discuss some family problems he had with his father, as Vince
was in tears. Shane said he was a man, no longer a boy, and proud
of who he has become.
• Backstage, Shane McMahon walked out of the arena. Stone Cold Steve Austin showed his appreciation to Shane by throwing him a beer.
• Tiger Ali Singh (w/Babu)
and The Godfather went to a No-Contest.
-The Godfather was without the assistance of his ho's, and said
Tiger Ali Singh wouldn't get any. The match turned out to be very
slow, and nothing but a brawl. The Godfather began to hit Singh
with several punches, and the referee all of a sudden called for
the bell. The Godfather and Singh continued to brawl, with
officials holding them back. Babu was hit purposely by both The
Godfather and Singh (the way he treats Babu) during the match.
• Backstage, Michael Cole asked Vince McMahon how he felt. McMahon basically had no response and was very sad.
• Kaientai (w/Yamaguchi San)
defeated Golga, Kurrgan, Giant Silva, and The Insane Clown Posse
(w/Luna) by Disqualification.
-The Insane Clown Posse worked on Sho Funaki throughout the
match. Violent J, out of no-where, threw down the referee. The
Oddities and The Insane Clown Posse were disqualified, giving
Kaientai the win. The Oddities were not to pleased with what ICP
did.
• Backstage, Vince McMahon left the arena. The associates told McMahon they were sure Stone Cold Steve Austin would lose the "I Quit" match later in the show.

defeated Goldust by Disqualification.

prompted Marc Mero on the turnbuckle, Jackie got in his face.
Goldust kissed Jackie, and this kicked Mero in the groin. Goldust
was disqualified, giving Mero the victory. Following the match,
Sable made her way out. Sable challenged Jackie to a Women's
Title match for Survivor Series.

Socko would finish off the match. Jesse James rolled-up Al Snow
from behind, scoring the pin, letting The New Age Outlaws retain
the Tag Team Titles. Afterwards, Mark Henry and D-Lo Brown
attacked Jesse James and Billy Gunn. On the outside of the ring,
Mankind had The Head, while Al Snow had Mr. Socko. Both made a
quick trade, and left the ring.

• I Quit Match: Stone Cold
Steve Austin defeated Ken Shamrock.
-Vince McMahon's associates were near ringside, encouraging Ken
Shamrock to win the match for McMahon. The match between the two
superstars was a pure brawl in-and-out of the ring. Both used
several submission maneuvers to take down each other. Gerald
Brisco assaulted Austin, and hit the referee. Austin went to the
outside of the ring, attacked the associates, while Mankind gave
Shamrock the Mandible Claw. Austin came back into the ring with a
chair, and nailed Shamrock. Austin put Shamrock in a very light
submission maneuver to take the win. Following the match, Gerald
