• Vince McMahon Interview.
- Vince McMahon came down to a big pop. When he got in the ring, he opened his jacket and exposed the Heavyweight Title that was around his waist. He announced that he would relinquish the title since he couldn't be involved in WWF business and the winner of the Six Pack Unforgiven PPV main event between The Rock, Mankind, The Undertaker, The Big Show, and Kane would become the undisputed Heaveyweight Champion. Stone Cold Steve Austin then made his way out. He said that the WWF has not been the same since McMahon had left, even though they still may not like each other. Austin said he would be in the Six Pack match at Unforgiven, since McMahon wasn't in it, which put it back at six superstars in the match. Triple H and Chyna then came down, along with local police officers. Triple H said he wanted the title shot in the and if he didn't get it, someone in The McMahon Family would get hurt. Shane McMahon came down and said no one in his family would get hurt. He also announced that later on, he and his father would team up to take on Triple H and Chyna. Austin told Vince that he needed to take back his company, but Vince said that couldn't happen because of his contract. However, Austin said that it said in his contract that he could reinstate Vince if he wanted to. Austin said he would only do so if he received a title shot. Vince granted him that opportunity, but it wouldn't be until the following night after Unforgiven. Vince let Triple H into the six-pack match instead. Vince said since the referees are on strike, Austin would be the special enforcer for the Six-Pack match.

• Backstage, a woman police officer, named Louise, told The Rock she was a fan of his and it was her birthday. He sung "Smackdown Hotel" for her, as the woman snapped her fingers. He then gave her $100 out of his waud of cash, so she could buy her something nice. He then asked her if she liked pancakes and had a pain in her stomatch. She said she did. The Rock told her to go to the store, buy some Maloxx, and was about to tell her to turn it sideways and stick it straight up her candyass, but decided to tell her to just have a good birthday.

• Backstage, The Undertaker, The Big Show, Mideon, and Viscera were talking. The Undertaker directed Mideon to go attack Mankind, who was in the boiler room. Mideon went in and got knocked out with a trash can by Mankind. The Undertaker then told Viscera to go in, who nailed Mankind with a garbage can. When they came out of the boiler room, Big Show joined in on the attack. The Rock then made the save.

• Chris Jericho (w/Mr. Hughes) defeated Mr. Ass with the Walls of Jericho (Lion Tamer) submission.
- This match was originally supposed to be a "First Blood Match" between Chris Jericho and Ken Shamrock, but no word on why it didn't take place. Anyway, as it went on, with Mr. Ass mainly dominating, Mr. Hughes DDT'd Ass on the outside on the exposed concrete floor. Chris Jericho capitalized with the Walls of Jericho submission hold for the win.

• Backstage, Michael Cole interviewed The Rock and Mankind. Mankind said he was dominating The Undertaker's gang when The Rock came in. The Rock said he broke his rolex for Mankind. He put a t-shirt over Cole's head. He said The Undertaker spoke so much trash, that he did it in his sleep. He next did his usual mic work, with the fans chanting, "Rocky." While Mankind asked The Rock if he could keep the t-shirt, The Rock challenged The Undertaker and The Big Show to a Tag Team Title match.

- Ivory came down and complained about Houston, Texas and the Compaq Center, saying the baggage department smelt like urine, and she had rats and cockroaches in her locker room. She announced that she would give Luna a Women's Title shot at the Unforgiven PPV, but tonight, she would challenge anyone (or any skank) to enter the ring. She picked someone and it turned out to be Luna, who was in a wig. Luna attacked her and pinned her in a non-title match.

After Mankind nailed Mideon with the double-arm DDT, he tagged in The Rock. The Rock soon took Viscera down with the Rock Bottom. Kane came down and clotheslined Big Show, which made The Undertaker irrate. While Mankind stuffed Mr. Sock down the throat of Mideon, The Rock finished off with the People's Elbow.
