Monday Night Raw 272: August 3, 1998

A rift in DX begins to form when X-Pac and Triple H go one-on-one for a chance at the Intercontinental Championship. Mr. Yamaguchi-San and Kaentai seek revenge on Val Venis.
==Event recap==
===Golga vs. Marc Mero===
* Please note the following segment was cut from the WWE Network version of the episode. However, a clip is available on WWE.com
Mero and Jacqueline are sporting the trophy that Jacqueline earned for winning the Fully Loaded bikini contest. Sable unveils a “surprise” by accompanying Golga to the ring. Kurrgan and Giant Silva walk out in tuxedos and Kurrgan sings the Miss America song before Luna Vachon walks out. Sable joins commentary. Jacqueline tries to interfere, Luna attacks her with the roses she has. Silva chokeslams Mero behind the referee’s back and that sets up Golga’s win.
===Triple H promotes Stridex===
Chyna appeared with Triple H in a Stridex commercial.
===Triple H vs. X-Pac===
Chyna, who should be impartial in the match, trips X-Pac before he can do a Bronco Buster and that results in Triple H taking advantage of the situation and getting an Intercontinental title shot against the Rock at SummerSlam. After the match, X-Pac argues with Triple H, who feigns ignorance about Chyna’s interference.
===Val Venis & Taka Michinoku vs. Kaientai===
When Venis goes to tag in Michinoku after absorbing some of Kaientai’s early offense, Michinoku dropkicks him in the face, thereby turning heel. You see, Mrs. Yamaguchi-San is Michinoku’s sister. Kaientai beat Venis up and carry him backstage.
===Kaientai gang up on Val Venis===
Kaientai is shown beating down Venis some more backstage as Mrs. Yamaguchi looked on.
===Kaientai continue to attack Venis===
Backstage, Yamaguchi-San has the camera crew leave Kaientai’s locker room, where they are carrying Val Venis to a cutting board.
===Kaientai get Venis where they want him===
WWF officials are shown breaking down the door to Kaientai’s dressing room and find Val Venis held up with his tights down. Yamaguchi-San has a sword held up high and he comes down with it, but the lights in the room go dark and that ends the show.
