## Background

The main match heading into the show is Stone Cold defending the WWF Championship against Shawn Michaels in a ladder match. At Wrestlemania 14, the austin era begun as he defeated Shawn Michaels to become WWF champion, Vince Mcmahon said he wanted a corporate champion and Austin answered that by stunning the boss, Vince Mcmahon formed The Corporation to take down Austin and their allies were DX, Vince gave Shawn his rematch in a ladder match tonight

Owen Hart reintroduced the european championship into WWF as he held a 6 men package for the title at Wrestlemania 14 and said whoever man won would face the longest reigning european champion tonight, Jeff Jarrett won the 6 men package but a day later he was destroyed by the debuting Dan Severn managed by Jim Cornette who won the title, Cornette sent another unnamed man to beat up Owen during his entrance as Owen might not have an easy match tonight like he thought

Cactus Jack is split within 3 personalities, him, Mankind and Dude Love and only Cactus is friendly with Terry. At Wrestlemania 14, Cactus and Terry became tag team champions, on the following RAW Cactus turned into Dude Love and started a rivalry with Terry saying he wanted those tag titles and he would find a partner to get them, New Age Outlaws also wanted the tag titles so Dude Love challenged them tonight

Ken Shamrock won the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal to become NO1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship, Shane Mcmahon has recently defeated Austin to win it with Vince helping him out but Shane has ran away from any confrontation possible even against Shamrock

Paul Bearer turned on Undertaker and started to say that he was gonna unveil Taker's secret and that "Kane is coming". On an episode of RAW, Bearer finally revealed that in 1981, Undertaker put his house on fire as he killed his mother, father and brother BUT what he didn't know is that HIS BROTHER MADE IT OUT ALIVE and he's coming for revenge. At Badd Blood, during a HIAC match between Shawn and Undertaker, Kane made his debut as he ripped the cage door apart and tombstone'd Taker, Taker intially refused to face his younger brother as he felt remorse for what he did but he kept having segments talking to an unknown man who said it'd be better if Kane was taken out as soon as possible for their plans not to be ruined. Kane continued taunting Taker by beating up his members of the Ministry of Darkness, Taker accepted a match against Kane but only if he could defeat MOD in a gauntlet match which Kane did last pinning Undertaker in 16 SECONDS, Undertaker now felt no remorse and said he wouldn't fail to kill Kane this time, at Wrestlemania 14 after 3 tombstones Undertaker defeated Kane. He wasn't done with him as Bearer challenged Taker to Kane's speciality match, an inferno match, Taker said that the burning of '81 was enough to put Kane on a mask, the burning of '98 will make sure he never wrestles again

Taka Michinoku suffered a neck injury in the match where he won the lightweight championship against Jeff Hardy at Wrestlemania 14, he vacated the belt and announced it would be put up to grabs in a battle royal

Bob Holly, Steve Blackman, Goldust and Jeff Jarrett were tired of this "black dominance" that surged due to Nation of Domination as they pledged for their white power, Dusty Rhodes recently made a shocking appearence on WWF as he slapped Goldust as he wanted to make him into a man. The Man Formerly Known as Goldust made his debut the week after as they all challenged Nation of Domination to a match tonight
