WWE mourns the untimely passing of Flyin' Brian Pillman. The Hart Foundation come face-to-face with Shawn Michaels and his band of degenerates as Bret Hart faces Hunter Hearst Helmsley in the main event.
==Event recap==
===10 bell salute to Brian Pillman===
Included an opening segment in which Vince McMahon announced that Brian Pillman was found dead the day before and then had the bell tolled 10 times as the WWF roster stood on the entrance stage.
===DX in-ring segment===
Featured Michael Cole interviewing WWF European Champion Shawn Michaels, Triple H, & Chyna in which Michaels ended up cutting his own in-ring promo as Triple H and Chyna harassed Cole, with Michaels referring to himself as the man, the icon, the show stopper, and the main event; moments later, Michaels put over his win against the Undertaker the previous night and then went to show footage from the match; however, after a lengthy pause, handheld camera footage from the 5/19/96 MSG show was shown instead, with Michaels and Triple H then confronting McMahon outside the ring about that still being a sore subject; the two continued to bully McMahon during the commercial break, with Rick Rude eventually appearing as well, until WWF World Champion Bret Hart, Jim Neidhart, WWF IC Champion Owen Hart, and Davey Boy Smith came out, with Bret referring to both Michaels and Helmsley as degenerates and homos and that Michaels would never be the show stopper until he took the belt from him; Hart then challenged Triple H to a match later that night; moments later, Michaels said the Clique owned the wrestling business and that it would also own Hart.

* Triple H (w/ Chyna) defeated WWF World Champion Bret Hart via count-out in a non-title match at around 10:30 after Bret sustained a superkick from Shawn Michaels outside the ring as Hart grabbed an interfering Chyna and looked like he was about to punch her; Michaels came ringside early on, and even stuffed Hart's Canadian flag up his nose, with Owen Hart and Jim Neidhart coming out moments later to be in the champion's corner
