| Jake "The Snake" Roberts | def. | Vader w/James E. Cornette |

| Match #4 | |||
| The Ultimate Warrior | def. | Jerry "The King" Lawler | via Pinfall (3:51) |
| Notes: Why did they even bother bringing this guy back? To the Ultimate Warrior fans out there: Both of you should wake up and realize that he is a no-talent hack. | |||
| Match #5 | |||
| Mankind | def. | The Undertaker w/Paul Bearer |
via TKO (18:20) |
| Notes: Paul Bearer 'accidentally' hit 'Taker with the urn and Mankind slapped on the Madible Claw and 'Taker was out. What a bout. | |||

def. | Goldust Champion w/Marlena |
via Pinfall (15:33) |
| Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- Ahmed won with the Pearl River Plunge. | |||

| Match #7 - KOTR Final | |||
| "Stone Cold" Steve Austin | def. | Jake "The Snake" Roberts | via Pinfall (4:36) |
| Notes: Gorilla Monsoon came out and nearly ended the match due to Roberts' injured ribs, but the match continued. I'll give Roberts credit, he continued, and really looked hurt. Roberts never stood a chance and Steve Austin became the 4th King of the Ring. In the post-match interview, "Austin 3:16" was born, right here in good old Milwaukee. | |||
| Match #8 - WWF World Heavyweight Championship | |||
| Shawn Michaels Champion w/Jose Lothario |
def. | The British Bulldog Challenger w/Diana Smith, James E. Cornette |
via Pinfall (26:23) |
| Notes: Mr. Perfect was to be the guest referee, but Monsoon made it so he was the referee just for the outside of the ring (lame). Bulldog's wife is hot, and I only wish he would've won. Owen Hart, Vader, and Cornette came in and beat the crap out of Michaels after the match. Ahmed tried to help, but the idiot got his clock cleaned too. The Ultimate Warrior saved the day though. | |||
