He rammed Hunter's head into the steps, but he didn't come close to hitting them. A few minutes later, Hunter broke up The Undertaker's figure four leglock, which caused a brawl between the two on the outside (which The Undertaker dominated). Paul Bearer threatened Chyna.

"Shane McMahon had it all figured out!" screams Jim Ross, talking about how the match was made no-holds barred. "It's no DQ! The ref can't do anything!" X-Pac, Kane, The Brood and Mankind soon run down and turn the match into a major brawl. Hunter held Austin for Chyna; she does a cool back-flip, forward cartwheel into a splash only to have Austin kick her in the gut. He hit the Stunner while Hunter was sleeping, then hit Triple H himself with it for the win. After the match, X-Pac and Austin beat up Chyna, Shane and Hunter, and gave all three the Bronco Buster and had some beers.
