In Your House 5: Empire Rises was the fifth In Your House event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 6th December 1992. It is widely regarded as one of the worst PPV's in WWF history

## Background

The main match heading into the show is World Heaviweight champion Tatanka defending against Randy Savage. At Survivor Series, Savage's stable Empire defeated Four Horsemen to win the Survivor Series tag team match, they were traded to Smackdown as they became allies of SD GM Bobby Heenan. For the first time ever in history, Bobby Heenan went against the Survivor Series Lottery as he decided that Steiner Brothers would be going for the tag titles and Randy Savage and Sycho Sid would fight each other, the winner got the world title match and the loser got the IC title match, Randy Savage ended up winning. After a series of bad matches, Tatanka is getting 0 crowd reaction so Savage is the huge favorite in this match even if he's the heel.

Due to the Survivor Series win, Steiner Brothers will face Demolition for the tag titles tonight

Sycho Sid lost against Randy Savage and because of that he only gets an IC title match against Crush, Empire want to complete the prophecy that all stables try to achieve, winning every single championship of their brand.

At Survivor Series, Money Inc, Jeff Jarrett, Jerry Lawler and Barry Horowitz formed a shortlived alliance to face the threat that was Doink The Clown but they got absolutely mauled in a handicap match to the point where Ted Dibiase and IRS ran away from the match. The match ended with Horowitz gone missing and presumed dead, a memorial service was held for him where Jarrett and Lawler called out Money Inc as pussies and the reason why Horowitz is dead. They challenged them to a match but Money Inc only accepted if Lawler could defeat Million Dollar Corporation member Yokozuna which he did.

Yokozuna was injured by Doink in an episode of Smackdown and practically brainwashed as he beat up multiple members of his own group Million Dollar Corporation, they managed to take the devil out of him but Yoko still wasn't at 100 percent and was still being targeted by Doink as he made it clear using multiple mind games like replacing Barry Horowitz's memorial pic with a pic of Yokozuna, the lights going out during his matches, coming back on and Yokozuna being laid on the ground. Yokozuna finally had enough and challenged Doink to not even a match, just him showing up like a man as Doink had been missing since Survivor Series.
