McMahon-Helmsley interview
-HHH and Stephanie came out. HHH said that he understood why the rest of DX had abandoned him on Monday. He understood that he needed some tough love, but would make it up to them tonight. He said the NAO’s would have two handicap matches against Bradshaw and then Farooq. The other Acolyte was not allowed to interfere or they would lose their title shot. He then said that he would join X-Pac in a tag team match against Big Show and The Rock. HHH then turned his attention to Mankind. He said that their match at Royal Rumble would be a streetfight. He then called out Mankind. The fake Mankind then came out and begged HHH for forgiveness. The real Mankind then came out. Mankind said that HHH was right that Mankind couldn’t beat HHH in a streetfight, therefore he was pulling out of the match. He said he did have a substitute for Mankind though, and began to take off his Mankind gear. He said that replacement would be Cactus Jack. Cactus Jack then ran to the ring and cleared it. He dropped his flying elbow off the apron on to the fake Mankind. He then told HHH that he was ready to bleed, and would take the title belt, Bang, Bang.
The New Age Outlaws defeated Bradshaw in a No Disqualification Handicap Match
-The Outlaws did their usual routine prior to the match. Bradshaw did have a little success early in the match, but as you might expect the Outlaws soon gained control and got the pin by both covering Bradshaw after nailing Bradshaw with a chair.
Too Cool & Rakishi Phatu defeated The Hollys & Al Snow
-Al Snow talked to his head during most of the match. Grandmaster Sexay had the early momentum. Scotty maintained the control until Al Snow pulled him out of the ring. When Rakishi entered he took out all three opponents and hit his sit-down piledriver on Crash and got the pin. Al Snow attacked the Hollys after the match. Too Cool and Rakishi then got jiggy with it.
Test defeated Gangrel with Luna by disqualification
-Test wore his mask during the match. The match went back and forth throughout. Each time Test went for the pin, however, Luna distracted the ref. Luna then hit the ref and attacked Test, drawing the disqualification.
The Hardys with Terri defeated The Bossman & Prince Albert
-The Hardys used double teams to get the early control over Prince Albert. Albert used his power to reverse the momentum and tag in the Bossman. Bossman picked up Terri and appeared to want to leave with her, but Jeff came in for the save. Bossman and Albert had control, but the two began to argue and allowed Jeff Hardy roll up Bossman for the win. Bossman and Albert then went at it after the bell.
Edge & Christian defeated Kurt Angle & Steve Blackmun
-Val Venis came over the TitonTron during the match and distracted Blackmun and Edge got the pin. Angle then yelled at Blackmun for losing again.
The New Age Outlaws defeated Farooq in a No Disqualification Handicap Match
-Farooq ran in and tried to get the early advantage, but similar to the Bradshaw match, The Outlaws quickly gained the advantage and got the pin. After the match, Bradshaw ran in for the save.
The Godfather & D’lo Brown with 7 hos defeated The Headbangers
-Taz’s light and symbol were shown before the match. The match went back and forth throughout. D’lo made a hot tag to the Godfather and the Godfather took control. D’lo hit his frogsplash from the top turnbuckle and got the win.
Kane with Torrie defeated Chris Jericho in a Non-Title Match
-Jericho insulted Kane and Torrie several times before the match. Kane dominated the match. Jericho was able to get the advantage, however, when he went for the Walls of Jericho, Chyna came out. She distracted Jericho which allowed Kane to hit a chokeslam and then the Tombstone. Kane then got the pin. The Kat then took the belt back for Chyna.
HHH & X-Pac with Stephanie defeated The Big Show & The Rock
-In the beginning, Big Show refused to tag in the Rock. The Rock tagged Big Show when he called for a chokeslam. The Rock was in for the rest of the match. HHH and X-Pac started to gain control and beat on the Rock for a while. The Rock regained control and went for a tag, but Big Show refused to tag in. While he and The Rock argued, HHH applied the Pedigree and got the pin. Big Show then entered and chokeslammed the Rock. END OF SHOW.
