Dean Malenko vs. Eddy Guerrero
In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Eddy Guerrero defeated Dean Malenko in 14:33 by pinfall with a Frogsplash.
"Ted DiBiase? What is he doing here!?" Schiavone exclaims.
"Five? What does he mean by five, Schiavone?" Zbyszko asks.
"I don't know Larry and fans, given how things have been going with outsiders coming through the crowd, I don't like what he is indicating" Schiavone confesses.
Lex Luger vs. M Wallstreet
In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Lex Luger defeated M Wallstreet in 5:34 by disqualification after The Outsiders attacked Luger as he had the Torture Rack on Wallstreet.
The Outsiders continue to put the boots to Luger. As Wallstreet gets up, he puts his hands on Hall's shoulder and spins him around. Hall and Nash dare him to hit them, but Wallstreet quickly leaves the ring unharmed.
WCW World Television Championship
Jim Powers vs. Lord Steven Regal (c)
In a bout that had terrible wrestling and non-existent crowd heat, Lord Steven Regal defeated Jim Powers in 5:35 by pinfall to retain the WCW World Television Championship.
Backstage, cameras find Lex Luger and Sting arguing.
"Sting, I'm tired of this hero of WCW act you're pulling. Give it up, and just tell us you're with the New World Order!" Lex demands as he pokes Sting in the chest.
"Le...what? Really? Of all people, Lex? I'm trying to keep WCW together. Fall Brawl is coming up and we need to put an end to the nWo, and we can do that in War Games!" Sting says.
"In a cage with a man who has been questionable as of late? I don't think so, Sting!" Luger says, still poking Sting in the chest.
Sting swats Lugers hand away and then gives him a slight shove. Luger shoves back and before the two can touch each other again, The Steiner Brothers, Dusty Rhodes and Ricky Steamboat come from off camera to get between the two men.
The Booty Man vs. Ric Flair
In a good match, Ric Flair defeated The Booty Man in 6:03 by submission with a Figure Four Leglock.
As we return from commercial, the Outsiders are on the announce podium as Eric Bischoff and Larry Zbyszko make their way up. The nWo give Bischoff a hard time and shove him around before leaving towards the ring laughing.
Public Enemy vs. The Outsiders
In an extremely short match, The Outsiders defeated Public Enemy in 5:25 when Scott Hall pinned Johnny Grunge with an Outsider's Edge.
After the match, The Outsiders continue to work over Public Enemy. Hall maneuvers the table Public Enemy brought to ringside in position and sets Rocco Rock on the table. From inside the ring, Johnny Grunge is lifted in the air and Powerbombed over the top rope, crashing through Rock and the table by Nash.
Konnan vs. Pat Tanaka
In an abysmal match, Konnan defeated Pat Tanaka in 9:47 by submission with a Tequila Sunrise.
Mean Gene is backstage with Sting, who is quite fired up. Gene tries to get a word in, but Sting interrupts him.
"Gene, the inmates are trying to run WCW, and I don't mean the nWo" Sting says intensely as he walks off camera.
Arn Anderson vs. Sting
In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, Arn Anderson drew with Sting in 11:54 when the match was ruled a no-contest as the nWo made their way ringside, distracting both Anderson and Sting.
As the nWo make their way around the ring, Sting and Anderson stand side by side until Anderson grabs Sting's shoulder, spins him around, then points at the nWo, questioning Sting. Sting and Anderson trade words until Sting walks by Anderson, exits the ring and heads towards the back.
As Sting is walking to the back, Anderson turns around to find the nWo already in the ring. Without hesitating, Anderson begins to swing at all four men, but it's no use.
"It's the rest of the Horsemen!" Heenan says as Flair, Benoit and captured on camera running down the ramp.
"Fans, we're out of the time! We'll see you next Monday!" Bischoff says as Flair, Benoit and McMichael hit the ring and start brawling with the nWo!
