## Details

* Animal and Hawk put Droz on their shoulders celebrating when Dick Togo clothslines Droz off of their shoulders as Kaientai attack them saying this should be their tag titles, The Brood come out and Taka runs away, Lucifer attacks him and wins the hardcore title
* Mankind challenges the Brothers of Destruction to a handicap match
* Lucifer's going through backstage when Gillberg tries to spear him but fails, Meanie rolls Lucifer up and wins the title
* Jim Cornette says everything is falling into the right pieces and soon he'll finally be co-owner of this company, Austin comes out with a chair as Cornette says that if he hits any of them, he will fire him as soon as he becomes co-owner, Austin chairshots Cornette in the head, The Union beat him up BUT THE ROCK COMES OUT TO SAVE AUSTIN, afterwards Austin stuns The Rock
* Vince says "last week, I made a rash decision as I was PISSED that Austin had destroyed my own house, I wasn't thinking straight...but now I have the obligation of giving Cornette that match but Cornette, I AIN'T gonna fail, as you will face the team of THE UNDERTAKER, SHAWN MICHAELS, KANE, MANKIND AND KEN SHAMROCK." . Kane comes out as he talks for the first time saying he refuses to be on this team after he didn't let him unleash hell on every G1 participant, Kane big boots the boss.
* Meanie is running away from wrestlers when Kane is in the ring, every wrestler stops except Holly Cousins who try to take down Kane but Kane beats them up and sends them flying onto all the wrestlers, in the midst of all the confusion, Jerry Lynn jumps the barricade and becomes hardcore champ
* Later we are shown footage of Edge beating up Lynn on the street and becoming hardcore champ
* Jeff Jarrett rolls up Edge as he's making his entrance to become champion
* Mankind is being destroyed by BoD when Vince shows up on the stage and sends The Corporation to save Mankind, Undertaker is pissed and beats them up, Taker gets a mic and and says The Corporation attacked him during the title match that would harness enough power for the higher power to reveal himself, NO WAY Taker would enter Vince's team against The Union
* Shawn Michaels returns to end the show "In early 98, me, Owen and Vince screwed Bret out of the title, I thought that with this, I would've become huge, THE defining star of this new attitude era, I had finally driven out Bret Hart out of the WWF title contendership and yet I stopped being showcased weekly as new talent have been coming in taking my spot but hey, at least I was the golden boy of The Corporation right? The owner's right hand, I wanna know why you did it Vince." Vince comes out, he explains "Shawn...HOW many times have you beaten Stone Cold Steve Austin? Yeah, that's right, never, you were once the golden boy of WWF absolutely but times are changing and if you don't change along with them, you're gonna be forgotten EASILY, I did what I did because The Rock has beaten Austin before, this is what this is all about, getting a corporate champion and if you can't beat Austin but your opponent could...I would've screwed you out of the match even if it was damn Gillberg." "Then why did you help Austin defend against Taker? I've beaten Taker before so if it was Shawn vs Taker, I could win it and you would have a corporate champion, You clearly just wanted The Rock to be champion so don't go out spitting that bullshit that if I would've beaten Austin earlier, you wouldn't have screwed me, YOU'VE HAD A GRUDGE AGAINST ME EVER SINCE 1995, D-GENERATION X, YOU SCREWED OVER YOUR OWN COMPANY, AND DX CALLED YOU OUT ON IT AND EVER SINCE THEN YOU WANTED TO DESTROY ME." Vince says "but the grudge has passed...think of this like your punishment for all those years." Vince wants to shake hands with Shawn, Shawn looks at the crowd and SCM's Vince, he refuses to be in Vince's team against The Union as well
