Monday Night Raw 245: January 26, 1998

Owen Hart faces Triple H for the European Championship in the main event. Vader faces Goldust in a rematch.
==Event recap==
===DX backstage===
DX will say some things. Helmsley is nude right now for some reason. Chyna and Shawn hold title belts in front of Helmsley’s nether regions for laughs.
We go back to the locker room to hear from DX. While Chyna ever-so-gently wraps up Helmsley’s knee, he says tonight he’s going to show Owen that he’s more man than Owen will ever aspire to be. Triple H is going to flush the nugget down the toilet one more time and send him to the cesspool down south where he belongs. Shawn says he is beloved by millions and he’s the role model of the WWF for kids and parents alike. He wants to do what is best for the WWF and decides to sit out his WWF title defense against Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania 14 and let Austin and Tyson settle their differences. Helmsley adds that the modest Shawn Michaels should still be involved in some way on the biggest stage of them all. Can Shawn handle Sable? No, someone will get mad. How about manage one of the minis? No, they don’t like him right now. Well, wouldn’t you know it? Shawn is wearing a referee shirt under that sports jacket. He then decides he will be the special referee for Tyson versus Austin.
===DX confront Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie===
In the back, we hoped to hear from Chainsaw Charlie and Cactus Jack. Right after they start speaking, DX comes over calling them hardcore legends and getting them distracted as the Outlaws turn the cyclone fencing onto them. With the fence keeping them trapped, DX and the Outlaws beat the crap out of Chainsaw and Cactus.
==Match results==
* Singles match: Vader fought TAFKA Goldust (w/ Luna Vachon) to a no contest when Kane came to the ring with Vader dropping him with a piledriver; moments later, Kane sat up and dropped Vader with the tombstone.
* Singles match: Owen Hart defeated TAFKA Goldust (w/ Luna Vachon) (sub. for WWF European Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley) via submission with the Sharpshooter at around the 7-minute mark after avoiding the Pedigree; Goldust came to the ring dressed as the champion while Luna was dressed as Chyna; after the bout, WWF World Champion Shawn Michaels, Triple H, & Chyna appeared on the Titantron, proud of getting out of the title defense, until Sgt. Slaughter came out and ruled that Hart's victory over Triple H's stand-in would constitute the title changing hands; upon the announcement, Triple H began throwing chairs backstage and said he would get payback on Hart.
