tricked them, and ran off through the other side of the ring.
• Diamond Dallas Page Interview - (With Tony Schiavone)
-Diamond Dallas Page first said Eric Bischoff couldn't fire
anyone in WCW, since Roddy Piper is the Commissioner. He also

would happen later in the show.

Splash.

• As Saturn made his way, Lodi confronted him. Lodi claimed
Saturn broke his fingers, when it was actually Raven. Lodi issued
a challenge to Saturn. Saturn wanted no part of Lodi, because he
knew Lodi didn't stand a chance. Lodi made the following
stipulations - If Saturn won, Lodi would leave The Flock; if Lodi
won, Saturn would have to be his slave until Fall Brawl. With
confidence, Saturn accepted. Of course, the match was under
Raven's Rules.
• Lodi defeated Saturn via Pinfall [Saturn becomes Lodi's
slave].
-During the match, The Flock interfered, but Saturn took them all
out. While the referee was distracted by Sick Boy, Raven entered,
but Raven was destroyed by Saturn. Kanyon, out of no-where,
slammed Saturn with the Flatliner. Lodi, helplessly, put his arm
on top of Saturn, to score the victory. Saturn would now have to
become the slave of Lodi to the Fall Brawl pay-per-view. The
commentators speculated that Kanyon was under the mind-control of
Raven.

bailed out DDP.
