Judgment Day 1998 was the first Judgment Day event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 6th December 1998.

## Background

The main match heading into the show is The Rock defending the WWF Championship against Dan Severn. The Union managed to defeat Team Vince at Survivor Series which got Jim Cornette the co-ownership spot as well as the Survivor Series Briefcases, Severn got a WWF title shot due to it, The Union and The Corporation have tried being allies due to Vince and Cornette now being co-owners but the animosity is clear as Severn has attacked Rock multiple times and even knocked out Vince Mcmahon in one instance

Due to the Survivor Series Briefcases, Dr.Death and Mark Henry will be getting a tag title shot against Legion of Devils

Owen Hart got an Intercontinental Championship shot against Chyna due to the Survivor Series Briefcases, he called out the fact that it was embarassing a woman was holding a men's belt and a belt his own brother made prestigious, he's hoping to end this reign tonight

Kurt Angle will have a European Championship shot, ever since the G1 he's been obsessed with calling himself the greatest professional wrestler in the world and making other people say it, he started targeting european champion Christian telling him to say it but Christian refused to do so, he added a stipulation where if Christian lost, he'd be forced to call Kurt Angle the greatest pro wrestler in the world

Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness have been terrorizing WWF since 1996, with its main goal being to please the higher power, he started a feud with The Corporation at G1 Finals as they interfered in his WWF title match against Austin and made him lose, Vince Mcmahon explained that he knew The Rock could defeat Austin for the title but he wasn't sure if he could defeat Undertaker as he was a demon, Taker tried having a match against Vince which his son Shane Mcmahon refused, Taker sent Shane through a wall and threatened that if he didn't get Vince, he would simply kill his son. Shane requested a match against him to Vince but he immediatly refused, Shane was kidnapped and put on a dark alley and forced to sign a contract for a match between Shane and Taker

Val Venis has wanted to film a porno with Tori and Sunny ever since they aligned with each other but Tori said she would only film it if she became women's champion so Val put in the work to get Tori to become NO1 contender, Venis and Tori managed to defeat The Blue Meanie and Sable with Tori pinning Sable to get the title shot, she has decided that this match will be a MUD MATCH

At Survivor Series, New Age Outlaws, The Blue Meanie and Mr.Imperfect Al Snow defeated HHL, Pager T and Kaientai in the classic 4 on 4 Survivor Series tag team match. Tonight, they face each other with the winner getting a world tag title match at Wrestlemania
