Segment 2: Tony Schiavone interviews Paul E. Dangerously and Stunning Steve Austin
Schiavone: Steve Austin, 2 straight matches vs Barry Windham and then vs Johnny B. Bad, you have been counted out, what some would say intentionally, when your back was against the wall, in order to retain your WCW Television Title. What do you have to say for yourself?
Paul E: OBJECTION “YOUR HONOR”! Badgering the witness. My client does not need to take the easy way out Mr. Schiavone. We do not appreciate your tone, SIR!
Austin: When you’re as good as Stunning Steve Austin, you don’t have to take the easy way out! And I won’t have to take any shortcuts tonight against that pathetic excuse for an opponent in Ricky Steamboat. Do you understand me?
Segment 3: United States Tag Team Championship
The Steiner Brothers vs The Young Pistols ©
Winners: The Steiner Brothers via DQ after Tracy Smothers hit Rick Steiner with the US Tag belt
Segment 4: Backstage Vignette of Sting talking about his match at the Clash of the Champions vs Lex Luger
Sting: Luger, you were a good friend. But when you aligned with Harley Race, you turned your back on your friends and the fans. At Clash of the Champions, that World Title is going around my waist for all of my little Stingers.
Segment 5: Singles Match
Mr Hughes w/Harley Race vs Ron Simmons
Winner: Ron Simmons via The Dominator
(Out of nowhere, Vader attacks Simmons from behind. Hughes, Race and Vader stomp on Simmons. Race and Hughes clear out of the way and Vader lands a Vader Bomb on Simmons)

Ventura: I would say that looks like the case Schiavone. I love it!
