## Details

* Brian Adams comes out with Arn Anderson, Arn says Adams is his new assistant and he has something exciting to reveal, Adams has been checking out this NWO Civil War up close and non endless battles will not solve anything on who truly is the great NWO leader and group, he has checked all the battles between NWO members since february that have ended in a clean way and the numbers are as follows: NWO Wolfpac: 10; NWO Chaos: 7; NWO Hollywood: 11. Arn decides that by november 16th right after the World War 3 PPV, the stable that has achieved more wins in this war will be declared the best NWO and therefore will be getting all of the title matches at Starrcade and the leader of it will become one of WCW's co-owners yet again
* Meng says that he has seen Goldberg's matches and he reminds him of himself in 1991, a huge monster who suddenly became the star of the company but he also knows all the stress amounts and he wants to take his stress out as he takes that WCW heaviweight title from him at Fall Brawl
* Steiner Brothers are pissed that everything they worked for last year, it's all gone because of this civil war as one of NWO's leaders will become co-owner of the company again. NWO Wolfpac come out, Hall says he understands their fury but he's got nothing to worry if Hall becomes co-owner, Scott punches him and Los Guerreros attack Steiner Bros
* Jericho congratulates Kidman and says he's moving away from the CW division, Malenko beats up Jericho
* During Jericho vs Malenko, Malenko gets up and takes out his jacket to reveal a NWO Wolfpac shirt
* Kevin Nash is with all the NWO Chaos members in the ring, Nash says that if he had gotten injured, the group would be in good hands as he would hand over the leadership position to Roddy Piper, instead Rey went behind his orders and made him lose the match. Rey is mad saying he saved Nash from injury and he should be thanking him, Nash says a chairshot would not leave him injured, he showed up before Booker could even do anything and now he's forced to kick out a member, Rey says "what has this war done to you gringos, you think NWO Chaos will always be behind you licking your ass? We're all equal here, I joined this group because I believed you and HHH were the ones that should be leading the prestigius NWO brand, but from day 1, you told me, we're all equal here, the NWO CHAOS PLEDGE OF ALLIANCE HAS IT "WE'RE ALL ONE." I saved you and you don't even thank me." Nash thanks Rey for making this decision a lot easier as he big boots him and kicks him out of NWO Chaos
* Hogan meets with HHH backstage saying that it must suck being in a group since the start but the leader appreciates more Roddy Piper, HHH punches Hogan
* Hennig vs Kanyon ends in a DQ as NWO Chaos and Wolfpac storm the ring, Psicosis rolls up Hennig to become champion, Hennig pushes him, Kanyon hits him with a superkick and tries to pin Psicosis but Wolfpac don't allow it
* DBS is getting ready for his match as Hall, Hennig and Meng hype him up, Psicosis is still knocked out on another room and Liger enters it to win
* Sting ends the show saying that for the first time since 1992, he's on the active roster but not doing anything or being at the top so he has made his mission to beat up as many of the NWO guys as he can, he will be lurking in the shadows again
