• Stone Cold Steve Austin Interview.
- The crowd chanted, "Austin." Stone Cold Steve Austin said he talked to his attorneys about setting up the solid stipulations for his First Bloody-Heavyweight Title match with The Undertaker at the Fully Loaded PPV, which were that if Austin won, Vince McMahon would no longer be seen in the WWF, but if The Undertaker won, Austin would never again receive a title shot. McMahon made his way out in a wheelchair. Austin had the crowd say "Hell Yeah" if they thought McMahon looked completely pathetic. Austin pulled out the papers and the pen for McMahon to sign on a table. The fans chanted, "Asshole," as Austin pointed it out for McMahon. McMahon said he was in a wheelchair after suffering multiple injuries from a motorcyle accident (he can really walk). McMahon put on his glasses and said he wouldn't sign it until Austin did, since he didn't trust Austin. Austin had the fans yell out "Hell Yeah" if they wanted him to sign it. Austin yelled at McMahon to hand over his custom-made title belt first. Kane's music played. Austin was about to push McMahon up the rampway, when The Undertaker nailed him from behind with the smoking skull belt. The Undertaker continued his assault on a busted open Austin, with McMahon cheering on. The Undertaker then filled McMahon's pen with blood, as McMahon signed his name on the contract with it. Shane made his way down to push his dad up the rampway.
• Backstage, medical officials told Stone Cold Steve Austin he needed to see a doctor for stitches. Austin told the medics to hurry and get the doctor because he had some business to take care of.
• Edge and Gangrel went to a No-Contest.
- Edge dominated in the beginning, but Gangrel took control after a powerbomb. Edge was back on top once he knocked Gangrel off the top ropes. Edge shoved the referee, as Gangrel went to the outisde. The brawled to the stage area, where Gangrel shoved Edge into the pit that was surrounded by fire where Gangrel makes his usual entrance.
• Backstage, the doctor told Stone Cold Steve Austin he would need at least 10 to 12 stitches. Austin said he didn't need any and to just stop the bleeding.
• Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler announced that Jesse Ventura would be returning to the ring at the Summerslam PPV. The press conference would be held this Wednesday at 11:00am at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota with The McMahon's, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Undertaker, The Rock, Triple H, and Chyna all in attendance.
• D-Generation X Interview.
- Before X-Pac and Road Dogg made their entrance to the ring, in the backstage area, they had Howard Finkel on his knees in an RD t-shirt, begging. They poured some sticky liquid on him and poured feathers all over him, basically for giving away where they were the previous week, causing them to get arrested. X-Pac told the crowd to raise some hell and make a little noise. He called Triple H, Chyna, and Mr. Ass corporate kiss-asses and said he they had to go through him and RD to get the rights to D-Generation X, which would happen at the Fully Loaded PPV. He said their asses were grass and they were going to smoke it. RD spelled out his letters and said he and X-Pac would always be representing DX. Kane made his way out to the ring, as X-Pac asked him what the deal was. X-Pac said Kane couldn't let his brother The Undertaker manipulate him like before. He said if Kane aligned himself once again with his brother, he didn't want anything to do with him. He told Kane to make a choice. Triple H, Chyna, and Ass then ran in before Kane could say anything. An attack continued on Kane and DX, with The Undertaker making the save for his brother. The Undertaker and Kane stared off, with The Undertaker saying he was Kane's brother. He said he didn't want Kane to choose. RD and X-Pac were left standing in the ring, confused, as Kane standed in the middle of the rampway, trying to decide which way to go.
• Backstage, Michael Cole said he would have an interview later in the show with Triple H, Chyna, and Mr. Ass since they had something to say.
• Val Venis and The Godfather (w/ho's) defeated The Hardy Boyz (w/Michael Hayes) by Disqualification, to let The Hardy Boyz retain the Tag Team Titles.
- Val Venis did his sexual joke, comparing himself to Mick Foley (Mankind), saying he is hard to beat, and he never ever seems to want to stay down. Before the match, Jim Ross announced the doctor had stopped Stone Cold Steve Austin's bleeding. Ross also noted, like earlier in the show, that Droz had challenged anyone to an Evening Gown Match. The Godfather hyped up the crowd with his ring introduction. As the match continued, Venis and The Gofather had the win with the Pimp Drop and Money Shot, but Michael Hayes hit Venis from behind with one of the Tag Team Title belts when the pin was being made, resulting in a Disqualification. As The Hardy Boyz and Hayes made their ways back, taunting Venis and The Godfather, The Acolytes came from behind to an attack. Venis and The Godfather joined in, making it a five-on-one attack. Officials entered to stop the the attack.
• Backstage, Michael Cole interviewed Triple H, Chyna, and Mr. Ass. They said they should be called D-Generation X, they were DX, they owned it, etc. Triple H said Ass and Chyna would take care of X-Pac and Road Dogg at the Fully Loaded PPV, but later in the show, they would get a piece on X-Pac and RD. He told them to bring Kane along, if they could get his head out of The Undertaker's ass.
• Backstage, Jeff Jarrett, along with Debra, made his way to the ring.
• Backstage, Stone Cold Steve Austin's head was wrapped up and he took off.
• A Tori vignette aired, where it talked about submission, passion, and enigma.
• Jeff Jarrett Interview, with Debra.
- Jeff Jarrett said until the fans showed him some respect for being in the Intercontinental Champion, Debra's puppies would stay in his house. Debra didn't look too happy. Stone Cold Steve Austin made his way out and destroyed Jarrett with a Stunner (Austin and Debra are a legit couple). Austin said if The Undertaker wanted his blood, calling him a son of a bitch, he wanted his ass. He challenged The Undertaker to a fight later in the show with no rules or no referee. The Big Show made his way out. Big Show said it wouldn't work out, because Austin would be taking on Kane and The Undertaker, so he offered to team up with Austin since he wanted to kick their asses just as bad as Austin did. Austin said someone was going to get their ass whipped because he said so, which basically meant the match would take place later in the show. Jarrett told everyone to cut the music, at which point Austin came back in and gave him a Stunner.
• Backstage, Triple H, Chyna, and Mr. Ass made their ways to the ring. Road Dogg and X-Pac were also shown making their ways down on a separate screen, with RD saying it would be three-on-two since Kane was too confused.
• The Rock, Road Dogg, and X-Pac defeated Triple H, Chyna, and Mr. Ass with The Rock's People's Elbow.
- Triple H, Chyna, and Mr. Ass came out to the entrance music of D-Generation X, as did Road Dogg and X-Pac. Kane's music played twice, but he didn't show up. Triple H said Kane wasn't going to make it, so he told RD and X-Pac if they gave them the rights to DX then and there, they woudn't kick their asses three-on-two. X-Pac had the crowd say "suck it" to Triple H, Chyna, and Ass. The Rock then made his way out, basically to get his hands on Triple H, but he did substitute for Kane. The Rock set Ass up for the Rock Bottom, but Chyna lowblowed him as the referee was arguing with RD. Triple H then took advantage of The Rock on the outside of the ring. The Rock took control after Ass stepped in the ring. RD was then tagged in and he started to clean house, even to the point where he took out Chyna. He put Ass through the Pumphandle Slam (making a doggystyle gesture before he did so), but Chyna made the save when the pin was being made. RD once again knocked out Chyna, as X-Pac put Ass through the Bronco Buster and X-Factor. Triple H made the save this time. As RD and Triple H and X-Pac and Chyna battled on the outside, The Rock put Ass through the People's Elbow for the win.
• Jim Ross told "The Rooster" to take it away. In the backstage area, Terry Taylor interviewed, Droz, in a dress, along with Prince Albert. Droz said he was serious and it was about experimentation and something different. He said he was looking forward to an Evening Gown Match, with the first man to be stripped down to his bra and panties being the loser. Droz told Albert, "Let's go," as he slapped him on the rear.
• Evening Gown Match: Al Snow defeated Droz, to retain the Hardcore Title.
- Droz asked who was man enough to accept his challenge. Al Snow made his way out a dress, with Head, and the Hardcore Title. Snow said since he wrestled mini luchadores the previous night on Sunday Night Heat, so he would do the Evening Gown Match, but Hardcore Rules would have to be on the line. Droz said, "Bring it, bitch." Cookie sheets, tables, powder, garbage lids, chairs, tongs. After Snow used the tongs on Droz, he stripped Droz' dress off. Droz was in panty hose and a thong. Snow then dived onto Droz, who was lying in the corner of the ring on a table. Prince Albert then ran in and pierced Snow with a hammer and railroad spike.
• In pre-recorded footage, Mark Henry, along with D-Lo Brown, was told he couldn't wrestle.
• Backstage, The Undertaker was shown talking to Kane.
• Acolytes Interview.
- The Acolytes challenged anyone to the match. Bradshaw said since no one was coming out, he and Faarooq would head to the back. Hardcore Holly then came out and attacked the both of them, setting up a Handicap Match.
• The Acolytes and Hardcore Holly went to a No-Contest.
- As the match continued, with The Acolytes mainly dominating, The Big Show interfered. He destroyed everyone and carried Holly to the back.
• In this week's installment of G-TV, Joey Abs asked Stephanie McMahon out on a date. She said that she went out with him before only for Shane, and it wouldn't happen again.
• Gauntlet Match: Test defeated The Mean Street Posse by Disqualification.
- Test first eliminated Pete Gas taking him down with a top rope maneuver. After Rodney was eliminated, Test and Joey Abs went at it, only to have Shane McMahon interfere, resulting in a Disqualification. Steve Blackman made the save as Test was all over Shane. Ken Shamrock then ran in and brawled with Blackman throughout the crowd, as The Mean Street Posse once again took the opportunity to beat on Test. Stephanie came down and tried to hold Shane back, with Shane accidently hitting her. Shane had Stephanie receive help in the backstage area. During the break, footage was shown of Blackman and Shamrock continuing to brawl, with officials breaking it up.
• Backstage, The Undertaker said he and Kane were once again a team. He said he would recapture the Heavyweight Title from Stone Cold Steve Austin in their First Blood match at the Fully Loaded PPV and would make Austin suffer in his own blood.
• Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Big Show defeated The Undertaker and Kane with Austin's Stunner.
- Kane brought a wrench to the ring. The Big Show immediately went at him, as they brawled near the ringside area, while Stone Cold Steve Austin brawled on the stage area. Back in the ring, Austin attempted to use an exposed turnbuckle, but couldn't get the pad off. Big Show chokeslammed Kane, but Kane later came back by nailing Big Show with the wrench. The Undertaker and Kane then worked on Austin. Kane went for a cover, but Big Show made the save. A busted open Austin then gave Kane the Stunner for the win.
