• Linda McMahon Interview, with Gerald Brisco, Pat Patterson.
- Linda McMahon said there were so many who deserved Heavyweight Title shots, so she decided that The Rock, Mankind, The Big Show, The Undertaker, and Kane would all go at it later in the night in a No Holds Barred, Five-Man Free-For All Match to determine the number one contender. Triple H, along with Chyna and police officers, were shown in the backstage area, with a smile on his face. Triple H, however, may not be the champion come the Unforgiven PPV. She said someone who is recovering from an injury may show up later in the night, demanding a title shot, which he can contractually get. That person turned out to be Stone Cold Steve Austin. Triple H, along with Chyna and somewhere around 15 police officers, then made his way down. Triple H and Chyna immediately attacked Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco. Before Triple H could say much, Big Show and The Undertaker and The Rock and Mankind made their ways in through the crowd. They were stopped at ringside by the officers, who surrounded the ring. Kane then made his way down and all hell broke loose at that point, with Mankind and The Rock coming out on top of the brawl.

The Big Bossman then made his way out. He told Bulldog he shouldn't have stuck his nose in his business. Snow then appeared near the entranceway. He challenged Bossman to a match where there would be one steel cage that would be covered by a Hell in the Cell steel cage. Bossman said he would only accept of the Hardcore Title was on the line. Snow agreed, but also said Pepper's friends would be inbetween the two cages. Two trainers then brought out a couple of Rot Wilers. As Snow laughed, Bulldog attacked Bossman from behind. Bossman, though, ended up slamming Bulldog into the ringpost. Snow and the dogs then chased after Bossman.

During the match, a crying Mariana came down, wearing sunglasses. When she removed the glasses, she revealed a blackeye. She continued to say, "Why, Chaz, why?"

McMahon said he promised he wouldn't get involved in WWF business anymore, but the situation with his wife and Triple H had gone too far and was personal. McMahon called Triple H a son of a bitch and told him to remember who got him to the level where he could become a Heavyweight Champion. McMahon removed his jacket and threw it in Triple H's face. Austin then ran out and took on Triple H, to get their match underway.

Triple H and Austin then brawled on the outside, while the steel cage was lowered. The bell was rung. After Austin took out Triple H with the Stunner, he celebrated on the top of the cage as the show went off the air.
