| Match #6 | |||
| Shawn Michaels | DRAW | "Stone Cold" Steve Austin | via Dbl DQ (23:03) |
| Notes: The referee went down, and Austin gave HBK the Stunner. The ref was down, so Austin picked him up and gave him a Stunner. Michaels recovered and gave Austin Sweet Chin Music, and made the cover. Another ref came down, but instead of counting the fall, he checked on the first referee. Michaels kicked him for his trouble. Then Hebner came down and DQed both men. | |||
| Match #7 - WWF World Heavyweight Championship | |||
| The Undertaker Champion w/Paul Bearer |
def. | Faarooq Challenger w/Nation of Domination |
via Pinfall (13:42) |
| Notes: Crush and Savio Vega got into a tiff outside the ring, and that caused Faarooq to come over and investigate. That gave Undertaker the opening he needed to get in the Tombstone. Paul Bearer, holder of a dark secret over Undertaker, made him chokeslam Faarooq again and again. Ahmed Johnson came out to try and talk some sense to 'Taker, but ended up just laying him out instead. | |||
