|---|---|---|---|
| Duke "The Dumpster" Droese | def. | Hunter Hearst Helmsley | via DQ (6:25) |
| Notes: Hunter was DQed for using some sort of plastic knuckles to hit Droese. | |||
| Match #1 | |||
| Ahmed Johnson | def. | Jeff Jarrett | via DQ (6:38) |
| Notes: Jeff jumped off the top rope with his guitar and laid out Ahmed with it. It was pretty cool. | |||
| Match #2 - WWF World Tag Team Championship | |||
| "The Smoking Gunns" (Billy & Bart Gunn) Champions |
def. | "The Body Donnas" (Skip & Zip) Challengers w/Sunny |
via Pinfall (11:10) |
| Notes: Bart pinned Zip. The Donnas were trying a double suplex on Bart when Billy took out Skip. Bart fell on Zip and got him in a small package. | |||
| Match #3 - WWF Intercontinental Championship | |||
| Goldust Challenger w/Marlena, Usher |
def. | Razor Ramon Champion |
via Pinfall (14:15) |
| Notes: -TITLE CHANGE- 1-2-3 Kid came out of nowhere and took out Razor. The ref was distracted by Marlena, who was at this time unknown. | |||
| Match #4 - Royal Rumble Match | |||
| Shawn Michaels | def. | (See Below) | (58:45) |
| Notes: Lawler nearly slopped Godwinn, but Godwinn gained control of the bucket and cleared the ring. Lawler wasn't looking and Godwinn hit him with the slop. Jake Roberts cleared out everyone when he came out and took his python out of the bag. About 12 minutes in, Lawler hid under the ring until the 40 minute mark, when Michaels dragged him out and eliminated him. Squat Team Guy 1 was eliminated and was walking out when his brother (Guy 2) came out. Both entered the ring and one was eliminated by Vader and the other by Yokozuna. After Michaels eliminated him, Vader got back into the ring and threw everyone out. Gorilla Monsoon let everyone get back in, since Vader was eliminated. This completely contradicts the '93 Rumble in which Giant Gonzales, not ever entered in the Rumble, eliminated the Undertaker. Sigh. | |||
| Match #5 - WWF World Heavyweight Championship | |||
| The Undertaker Challenger w/Paul Bearer |
def. | Bret "Hitman" Hart Champion |
via DQ (28:28) |
| Notes: On his way to the ring, Undertaker faced off with Diesel, who left without incident. Later, Undertaker had just given Bret the Tombstone when Diesel came back out and pulled the referee out of the ring, causing the DQ. Diesel then flipped off 'Taker and left. | |||
