| Match #2 - KOTR Round 2 | |||
| Ken Shamrock | def. | "Double J" Jeff Jarrett w/Tennessee Lee |
via Submission (24:06) |

| The Rock w/Mark Henry, Godfather |
def. | Dan "The Beast" Severn | via Pinfall (4:25) |
| Notes: Henry and Godfather were sent back to the locker room, but reappeared at a convenient time to distract the ref and allow D'Lo Brown to splash Severn. D'Lo wore his chest protector for the first time. | |||
| Match #4 | |||
| "Too Much" (Brian Christopher & Scott Taylor) |
def. | Al Snow & Head |
via Pinfall (8:26) |

| Match #5 | |||
| X-Pac w/Chyna |
def. | Owen Hart | via Pinfall (8:30) |
| Notes: Mark Henry came out and splashed X-Pac, and Vader came down and attacked him. Chyna then went into the ring and DDT'd Owen Hart, freeing X-Pac from the Sharpshooter. | |||
| Match #6 - WWF World Tag Team Championship | |||

def. | "The New Midnight Express" (Bob Holly & Bart Gunn) Challengers w/James E. Cornette |

| Ken Shamrock | def. | The Rock | via Submission (14:10) |
| Notes: Triple H joined commentary, and Chyna joined Spanish commentary. | |||
| Match #8 - Hell In A Cell Match | |||
| The Undertaker | def. | Mankind | via Pinfall (17:41) |
| Notes: One of the most brutal matches in WWF history. Mankind was thrown off the top of the cell and into the spanish announcers' table. Foley wasn't done, since he went back to the top of the cell and was thrown through it to the mat below. After being dropped and chokeslammed onto thumbtacks and Tombstoned, Foley finally had enough and Undertaker pinned him. I think that the footage of Foley flying off the cage will go down in history, right up there with Hogan slamming Andre. | |||
| Match #9 - WWF World Heavyweight Championship - First Blood Match | |||
| Kane Challenger w/Paul Bearer |
def. | "Stone Cold" Steve Austin Champion |
(14:51) |
| Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- McMahon watched this match from his owner's box. During the match, the cell was raised and lowered. Eventually, Hebner went down (to no one's surprise) and Mankind attacked Austin. Austin was fighting him off when the Undertaker got involved. 'Taker took a swing at Mankind with a chair, but Mankind ducked and 'Taker hit Austin instead, bustin him open. Hebner recovered and saw the blood, match over and new champion. | |||
