Lawler:"Well J.R., if Stacy wants to go anywhere, I'll be glad to make an offer"! Mixed Gender Tag "High Octane" Damion West and Molly Holly vs. Carney and Stacy Kiebler The match opened with High Octane and Carney having a great series in the ring. High Octane caught him with a hurracane into a few rapid punches but Carney came back with a few arm drags and a nice dropkick. But Carney went over to make the tag and Stacy was paying attention to the crowd. She finally tagged in and High Octane tagged in Molly. Stacy held her own against Molly and after ducking a clothesline, Stacy slapped her across the face. But this lit a fire inside Molly and her wrestling ability began to take over as she hip tossed Stacy and caught her with a northern lights suplex in which Carney had to come in and stop a sure pin. High Octane tried to come at Carney but Carney used a nice wheel kick on him. Stacy went to slap Molly but Molly ducked and she nailed Carney! Molly then used a quick rollup and got the on Carney. As High Octane and Molly left in celebration, Carney looked furiously at Stacy who seemed to have a little smirk on her face. Lawler:"Look at Carney, how could you be mad at her"? J.R.:"She just cost him the match King and she doesn't seem to care"! Lawler:"Oh lighthen up Carney, geez"! THE SOUND OF BAGPIPES PLAYING HITS AS COMMISSIONER PIPER COMES OUT TO A GREAT OVATION. HE COMES OUT AND ANNOUNCES A FEW MATCHES FOR CODE RED: AN AMBULANCE MATCH BETWEEN JORDAN ROCKWELL AND SCOTT STEINER AND AN ULTIMATE SUBMISSION MATCH BETWEEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN AND KEN SHAMROCK FOR THE UFC TITLE.

AFTER THAT, PIPER SAYS CODE RED WOULDN'T BE A GOOD EVENT WITHOUT A MAIN EVENT, SO HE SIGNS A 6 MAN TAG TEAM MATCH BETWEEN HOLLYWOOD HOGAN, SCOTT HALL AND KEVIN NASH VS.

Triple Threat/Number 1 contender for TWF Lightheavyweight Title Tajiri vs. Justin Sane vs. Essa Rios This was a very exciting match that showcased 3 very different superstars. After a Tajiri and Justin Sane had the same thought double clotheslining each other, Rios tried to hit his pretty top rope moonsault but Tajiri rolled out of the way, avoiding it. Tajiri then put on a tremendous display, knocking both men to their knees with swift kicks and taking them out together with 1 roundhouse kick. Tajiri then whipped Sane to the corner and charged in but Sane stuck a boot in his face and threw him out of the ring. Rios came from behind and tried for a crucifix pin but Sane rolled out of it and locked in the "Straight Jacket" and Rios tapped out. As referee Jim Corderis raised Sane's arm in victory, Tajiri came from behind and drilled Sane with a stiff savot kick as he turned around. Match Time: 7:56 Lawler:"What a sore loser! What's Tajiri's problem"? J.R.:"Well Justin Sane will go on to Code Red to face Scott Taylor but bad blood still exists between he and Tajiri for sure". Evolution vs. Yuji Matasamo and Muta Evolution showed no fear of the Japanese duo as they brought their high flying attack. Nova used a few double team moves that dazzled the crowd including Nova superplexing Matasamo off Kazarian's shoulders from the top rope. Kazarain then jumped off the top rope and took Muta out with a cross body press and when he got up, he and Nova used a double dropkick to knock Matasamo out of the ring. Kazarian then whipped his own partner Nova into Muta but Muta backdropped him to the floor. Referee Tim White was focused on Nova and Matasamo who were trading knifedge chops outside the ring when Kazarian tried a superkick on Muta but he ducked and sprayed green mist in his face. Muta then went to the middle turnbuckle and hit his "Rising Sun" neckbreaker to get the pin. The fight between Matasamo and Nova came back into the ring and after reversing an irish whip, Matasamo and Muta used a double superkick right on Nova's chin. Match Time: 10:29 J.R.:"An emphatic win for Extreme Japan and hopefully a learning experience for the young duo Evolution". Lawler:"Yeah, they don't have a bright future if they decide to take on Extreme Japan again". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL... BACKSTAGE.... STRIFE AND BAHAMUT ARE BACKSTAGE WHEN FAAROOQ AND BRADSHAW APPROACH. Bradshaw:"Hey boys". Bahamut:"What's up Bradshaw, Faarooq"? Faarooq:"That's what the hell we wanna know. How do you two feel about the NWO"? Strife:"We think they're a bunch of assholes"! Bradshaw:"Well you guys sure don't act like it. I mean, you're not out there helping us fight them". Strife:"We're just waiting for the right oppurtunity. Now before you go accusing us of somethin', you better get the hell out of our faces". Faarooq:"Tell you two what. Why don't you put those belts on the line at Code Red and we'll find out what the story is". Bahamut:"Yeah, we'll give you two a shot and I'll go one better for ya. You and me in the ring tonight, Faarooq". Faarooq:"Oh yeah, me and you are gonna get it on". Bradshaw:"Shine them belts up boys". COMMERCIAL..... TWF OUTBREAK PROMO IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... J.R.:"Well folks, prior to commercial, we saw a challenge for the tag team titles at Code Red but take a look at what happened during the break". FOOTAGE IS SHOWN VLAD THE IMPALER HAD JUST ENTERED THE ARENA WHEN HE WAS SAVAGELY ATTACKED BY DREW BLOOD WITH A KENDO STICK. SEVERAL TWF OFFICIALS FINALLY CAME AND PULLED DREW BLOOD OFF THE BLOODY VLAD. J.R.:"Definitely a disturbing scene folks and those two will meet in a hardcore rules match at Code Red". Lawler:"Hey look, it's Trish". BACKSTAGE TRISH IS ON HER CELL PHONE Trish:"Yeah, but Travis won't let that happen". SUDDENLY, KEN SHAMROCK's BACKSTAGE GUEST, VIN DIESEL WALKS BY AND LOOKS TRISH UP AND DOWN. Vin Diesel:"My, my, my. Kenny's gonna have fun with you girl". Trish:"Oh yeah. Well you tell Kenny that he'd have to give me some pretty strong drugs for me to lay a hand on him". THE BODY DONNAS MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT WITH TERRI. KIP IS CARRYING A SIGN THAT SAYS LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS ARE OUT OF SHAPE AND SHOWS A UNIVERSITY STUDENT CARTOON DRINKING A CAN OF BEER. THIS DRAWS A LOT OF HEAT FROM THE CROWD. J.R.:"A rather unflattering comment there by Trish but she better hope Wakeman wins that match at Code Red or she'll have to spend twenty four hours with Ken Shamrock". THE HARDY BOYZ' MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GREAT REACTION. Lawler:"Look at the sign Kip has J.R.". (he starts laughing) J.R.:"Yeah I saw it King but here comes the Hardy Boyz and what a position the newly crowned European champion Jeff Hardy is gonna be in at Code Red as the special referee of that match between Carney and Matt Hardy, his brother". Lawler:"I don't even know what to make of that situation anymore J.R. but one thing I will say is my offer to Stacy is still on the table"! J.R.:"It's definitely worthy of a Jerry Springer appearance but I'd suggest that there's something to the story we don't fully understand or know. However, tag team action here as the Hardy's will have to put all that aside for the time being and function as a team here". The Hardy Boyz vs. The Body Donnas Before the bell rang, Matt stared very enviously at Jeff's European title as he handed it to the timekeeper. With experience on their side, Matt and Jeff stayed in control, always keeping a fresh man in the ring by making frequent tags. Jeff hit Skip with a sit down jawbreaker and then they hit him with Poetry in Motion before Matt delivered his legdrop off the middle turnbuckle. Matt made the cover but Terri put Skip's foot on the rope to stop the count. Matt then tossed Skip over the top rope and Jeff went over to continue the attack. Kip came in and kicked Matt in the stomach and used a double underhook suplex followed by a big elbow drop. He then whipped him into the ropes but he put his head down too early and Matt delivered the "Twist of Fate". But Terri was on the apron distracting referee Mike Sparks. Terri pointed Sparks over to Jeff and Skip who were brawling in front of the announce table when Carney came out and Stacy was lagging behind him. Carney grabbed a steel chair and cracked it across Matt's back, allowing Kip to deliver a sit down powerbomb for the win. After the match, Terri took her boys away as Carney came in to do more damage to Matt. But Stacy followed him in and low blowed him! Matt then hit Carney with a ddt. Matt and Stacy looked at each other for a second before a big smile came to both their faces and Matt grabbed her and slid his tongue down her throat! Outside the ring, Jeff had just grabbed his European title and looked very confused. Match Time: 10:26 J.R.:"Oh my god! What has happened here"! Lawler:"Apparently, Stacy fell for her secret admirer which was revealed as Matt several weeks ago"! J.R.:"What does this do to the match at Code Red and the relationship between Matt and Jeff for that matter"?! BRIEF INTERMISSION AS LILIAN GARCIA GOES OVER SOME OF THE MERCHANDISE FOR SALE AT STANDS AROUND THE ARENA. THOSE ARE THE BRAND NEW TWF WRESTLEMANIA 3 SPECIAL COLLECTOR's EDITION MAGAZINE AND A NEW SET OF 3 6 x 10 AUTOGRAPHED PHOTOS OF TWF WOMEN's CHAMPION CAMMIE COPELAND. THE LEVIATHAN's MUSIC HITS J.R.:"Back to the action folks and we've already had one hell of a night as we prepare for what should be one heck of a slobberknocker". "IF YA SMELL....WHAT THE ROCK...IS COOKIN'" HITS AS THE ROCK COMES OUT TO A GREAT POP FROM THE CROWD. Lawler:"Listen to these people J.R."! J.R.:"They love The Rock in Cajun country but he needs to stay focused in this match as The Leviathan can be a dangerous opponent". The Leviathan vs. The Rock This was one hell of a match. The Leviathan started by attacking The Rock's lower back, pounding it with hammering forearms and a hard backbreaker. The Rock battled back after reversing an irish whip to the corner and catching Leviathan with a hard clothesline. But The Rock charged Leviathan and Leviathan went down to one knee and hit him with a right hand in the gut and delivered his huge powerbomb. Fortunately for The Rock, he was next to the ropes and was able to get a foot on them before a 3 count. After weathering some more of the Demon of the Deep's attack, The Rock used a slingshot to the turnbuckle and when Leviathan bounced off, Rock dropped him with the "Rock Bottom" and referee Chad Patton made the count 1......2....., but Leviathan got a shoulder up! The Rock couldn't believe it as he tried to whip Leviathan into the ropes but Leviathan pulled him back in and the 2 cracked heads. As the two laid on the mat in the center of the ring, the lights dimmed and a scene from Scorpion King: The Mummy Returns appeared on the TWF tron showing The Rock. The Rock popped up and his eyes widened as Goldust's music hit! Goldust over the PA:"Rock, you are the one, you are that glimmering star. (his voice turns more evil) You are the man Hollywood looked at. You are the man who stole what belonged to me and for that you will pay, you will pay dearly Rock and you will never forget the name of.....oooooh.....Goldust". The Rock didn't know what to make of what he just heard but when he turned around, Levithan kicked him in the stomach and delivered a devastating reverse death valley driver to pick up the huge upset win. Match Time: 8:33 J.R.:"What the hell was that all about"? Lawler:"Goldust has always been known as the bizarre one J.R. and he didn't disappoint there"! J.R.:"Stole what that belonged to him? That is a sick individual King but we have finally figured out the star Goldust was talking about and I promise ya that The Rock will have a response to that"! PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL.... NWO OFFICE.... X-Pac:"So you think you're ready"? William Regal:"Am I ready? Of course I'm ready sunshine and at TWF Outbreak, I'm gonna pull that miserable Jimmy Snuka apart". THERE IS A KNOCK AT THE DOOR. WALLY WILLSON GETS UP TO ANSWER IT. Wally Willson:"What the hell do you want? This is a private office". Earl Hebner:"I was told to give X-Pac a message from Commissioner Piper". X-Pac:"Yeah, what's that jerk want"? Hebner:"Uh, he wanted me to inform you that you'll be facing Triple H one on one, tonight". Lawler:"Tonight? Someone needs to take the power away from Piper, not Steph"! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... A SIREN BLARES AND SCOTT STEINER's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND THE NEW TWF LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION "TOO HOT" TAYLOR MAKE THEIR WAY TO THE RING. J.R:"We're back on RAW folks and what a night it's been so far as you see Scott Steiner and Scott Taylor make their way ring and King, we know Scott Steiner will meet Jordan Rockwell in the first ever Ambulance match at Code Red and we also found out that "Too Hot" Taylor is gonna defend that Lightheavyweight title against Justin Sane". PERRY SATURN's MUSIC HITS AND HE AND SPIKE COME OUT TO A GREAT REACTION. Lawler:"Look at this team J.R., they could earn the parts if they ever make a Dumb and Dumber part two"! J.R.:"Say what you will about Spike and Saturn King but they are two of the toughest guys I've ever been around and Steiner and Taylor are gonna have their hands full". Scott Steiner and "Too Hot" Taylor vs. Saturn and Spike Saturn started the match with Taylor and began pummelling him early, catching him with a gutwrench suplex and a big clothesline. But as he came off the ropes, Taylor used a drop toe hold and made the tag to Steiner who came in and slowed the pace down, overpowering Saturn with a backbreaker and a big powerslam that drew a 2 count. Steiner whipped Saturn into the ropes but he put his head down too early and Saturn kicked him in the head and clotheslined him. He then made the tag to Spike who came in and hit Steiner with 2 dropkicks and then he and Saturn caught him with a double clothesline. Taylor came into the ring and Spike gained the upperhand on him, hitting him with an enziguri. Steiner clotheslined Saturn out of the ring as Spike went for the "Dudley Dog" on Taylor. But on the way down, Taylor tossed Spike several feet across the ring. Spike landed on his feet but when he turned around, he was drilled with a Steiner Line and Steiner covered him for the win. Match Time: 16:49 J.R.:"What a clothesline! I thought he decapitated Spike"! Lawler:"Ya never know J.R., he may have knocked some sense into him"! J.R.:"Things aren't gonna be that easy at Code Red fans! Either Scott Steiner or Jordan Rockwell will leave Joe Louis Arena in an ambulance"! Lawler:"Literally"! THE LIGHTS DIM AND ORANGE FLASHES AROUND THE ARENA AS THE SOUND OF A PULSE IS HEARD AND TAZZ' MUSIC HITS. HE COMES OUT TO A GOOD REACTION. J.R.:"Here comes the man from Red Hook King and what a match this should be". Lawler:"I don't think Red Hook even prepared him for what he's in for tonight. "MAKE WAY" BY METHOD MAN HITS AS TRAVIS WAKEMAN IS LED TO THE RING BY TRISH STRATUS. This man is not in the best of moods". J.R.:"This man will meet Ken Shamrock at Code Red in an Ultimate Submission match for the UFC Title and if he loses, Trish goes with Shamrock for a whole day King"! Lawler:"Oh don't even say it J.R.! Poor Trish, you gotta win that match Wakeman"! J.R.:"Well he's got Tazz to worry about tonight". Travis Wakeman vs. Tazz Wakeman used a very aggressive approach, surprising Tazz with hard elbow shots and a vicious european uppercut. After a very innovative sit down spinebuster, Wakeman locked in the sharpshooter and Tazz was forced to struggle to the ropes to break the hold. Wakeman kept the pressure on but Tazz finally countered with a belly to belly suplex. Trish then got up on the apron and slapped Tazz but this only infuriated the Human Suplex Machine as he suplexed Wakeman from one side of the ring to the other. Tazz then went for an irish whip but Wakeman held onto his arms, slid between his legs and somehow rolled Tazz up into an incredible pinning predicament and Tazz could not escape. Match Time: 6:22 Lawler:"What kind of pin was that"?! J.R.:"I don't believe I have ever seen that one but what a move by Wakeman"! Lawler:"That win gives Wakeman the momentum he needs! Shamrock, you better kiss that UFC Title goodbye"! "ROLLIN'" BY LIMP BIZKIT HITS AS THE UNDERTAKER COMES WALKING TO THE RING TO A MIXED REACTION. J.R.:"Well here comes the man who won the Royal Rumble and still holds the number one contenders spot for WrestleMania". Lawler:"He looks to be in a foul mood too J.R."! Undertaker:"First off, don't get me wrong, I may hate the NWO, but I still hate all of you too! (the crowd loudly boos in unison) Now Piper, you were out here earlier runnin' your mouth but I think there's one match you forgot to add to Code Red. Nails, you stuck your nose in my business and now, I wanna stick my nose in yours. So how about it, you and me, man to man at Code Red and boy, I'll make it so you wanna hide the rest of your body, not just your face"! NAILS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON, HIS HOCKEY MASK SLIGHTLY COVERED BY HIS LONG STRINGY BLACK HAIR. Nails:"Undertaker, do you remember the last time you messed with me? I helped stick you in a casket and we threw you off the stage. At Code Red, you'll be out for good". NAILS ACCEPTANCE IS FOLLOWED BY A VERY DEMENTED LAUGH. J.R.:"Who's gonna survive that one? My god what else can happen tonight"? COMMERCIAL.... PROMO FOR CODE RED IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK... AS RAW RETURNS, THE UNDERTAKER's CHALLENGE TO NAILS IS REPLAYED. Loser Leaves the New Breed Special Referee: Jordan Rockwell Sean O'haire vs. Chuck Palumbo Right after the bell rang, Palumbo demanded Rockwell search O'haire when out of the crowd came Billy Gunn! Making his return to the TWF, Gunn and Palumbo attacked Rockwell and O'haire and Gunn hit them both with the "Fame-Asser". Palumbo then grabbed a microphone. Chuck Palumbo:"Sean, you can stay in the New Breed because I always hated being a part of it. Rockwell, you can go to hell, I've found a real partner now". As Palumbo and Gunn left together, Scott Steiner and Scott Taylor came out as Lita tried to help up Rockwell and Taylor. Taylor pulled up Rockwell by the hair as Steiner threw Lita down and put her in the "Steiner Recliner" as Taylor made Rockwell watch! Finally, Steiner let go of the hold and as he and Taylor walked out of the ring, Steiner spit on the fallen Rockwell. J.R.:"My god, how much more personal can this get"? Lawler:"Steiner may have gone too far this time J.R.". J.R.:"He's assaulted Lita! What kind of man is he"?! Faarooq vs. Bahamut Both Bradshaw and Strife were asked to go to the back by referee Mike Chioda so this was a fair brawl and a hard hitting one at that. The two jockeyed for position early and Faarooq took a cheap shot at Bahamut as Chioda tried to make a clean break. Bahamut then picked up Faarooq and tossed him into the corner and threw a few wild haymakers at Faarooq. But as he bounced off the ropes, Faarooq hit his 1 handed spinebuster and almost got a pin. Faarooq then used a big powerslam off an irish whip for a long 2 count. But after a series of ducking clotheslines by both men, Bahamut caught Faarooq with a boot to the face followed by a big chokeslam. Bahamut then picked Faarooq up by the hair and went for a scoop slam but he got a little careless and Faarooq used a clever small package and got a quick 1...2...3. Match Time: 9:06 BAHAMUT POUNDED THE MAT IN FRUSTRATION AS FAAROOQ WALKED AWAY THE WINNER. J.R.:"That's gotta be considered a mild upset folks but what a momentum builder for the Acolytes that is". Lawler:"Look at Bahamut, he can't believe it"! J.R.:"It'll be a lot tougher than that for the Acolytes to wrestle those tag team belts away though, I'll gaurantee that". PRIOR TO COMMERCIAL... BACKSTAGE.... VIN DIESEL IS SIGNING AN AUTOGRAPH FOR A FAN WHEN TRAVIS WAKEMAN COMES UP. Travis Wakeman:"Hey man, I hear you like to mess with women back here. Is that true"? Vin Diesel:"I don't know, is it"? Wakeman:"Tell you what man, you tell your partner Shamrock that his UFC Title is mine in just a few days". vin Diesel:"Why don't you just tell him that now"? SUDDENLY, SHAMROCK ATTACKS WAKEMAN FROM BEHIND AND LOCKS IN THE ANKLE LOCK. FINALLY, VIN DIESEL PULLS HIM OFF. Vin Diesel:"Just wait a few more days man and he's all yours". Shamrock:"I'm gonna destroy you Wakeman"! COMMERCIAL..... RETURN FROM BREAK.... Mr. PERFECT IS SHOWN AT A CASINO STANDING BEHIND A LADY WHO IS PLAYING A SLOT MACHINE. SHE HAS JUST LOST AGAIN.

Mr. Perfect: (to himself, laughing) "Now that's perfect". J.R.:"Who's ever heard of slot machines in Louisiana"? Lawler:"It doesn't matter J.R., that's Mr. Perfect. He can do anything"! CHRIS BENOIT's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO NOTHING BUT BOOS. J.R.:"Non-title match coming up folks and I'll tell ya what, this man here used to be one of the most respected men in the business but when he turned his back on all that to join the NWO, I lost all my admiration for him". Lawler:"But you watch J.R., Benoit's career is gonna skyrocket because of it"! ROB VAN DAM's MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT WITH THE HARDCORE TITLE AS THE CROWD CHANTS R-----V----D. J.R.:"Well you talk about a guy who's been on a real roll of late, it's this man, Rob Van Dam"! Lawler:"Well he better have studied up cause he's gonna get taken to scholl tonight"! Rob Van Dam vs. Chris Benoit RVD came out with some high powered offense, hitting Benoit with a spinning heel kick after ducking a clothesline and following that with Rolling Thunder. But Benoit came back and hit RVD with a nice stomach crusher and a beautiful german suplex, only to see him kick out at 2. The match continued and Benoit could not get control of the pace as RVD wrestled his type of match. But after a jumping spin kick by RVD, William Regal made his way to the ring. He jumped on the apron and threw a right hand but RVD ducked and superkicked Regal to the floor. He then charged Benoit as he got to his feet and went for a clothesline but Benoit used a gorgeous armbar takedown and turned that into the Crossface. RVD had no choice but to tap out. Match Time: 3:40 Lawler:"What did I tell you J.R.? RVD just got taken to school"! J.R.:"Yeah, and Benoit needed a substitute teacher! What is William Regal doing out here"? Lawler:"Well remember J.R., when you're NWO, you're NWO for life and you look out for each other, that's all". J.R.:"Well I don't like it and I think RVD got robbed of a win here". Val Venis vs. Shawn Michaels The crowd went nuts for the return of HBK but Venis quickly quited them with a russian leg sweep followed by a big kneedrop. Venis then used a powerslam and got a near fall. But HBK came back, scoring with a flying back elbow after reversing an irish whip. But just as HBK was gaining some steam, Venis caught him with a big clothesline and started distracting referee Tim White as Hollywood Hogan came to the ring. Hogan hit HBK with his big boot and then the legdrop. Venis then went for the cover but White saw Hogan and struggled to remove him while Venis was making his own 3 count. When he finally did make the count, Michaels kicked out. Venis jumped in Tim White's face but Michaels got up and planted him with a ddt. He followed that with a picture perfect elbow drop to get the pin. But after the match, Hogan came in and nailed Michaels with the TWF Title belt and he and Venis gave him a few extra stomps before leaving to the NWO theme. Match Time: 5:56 J.R.:"It's just never one on one with these guys is it"?! Lawler:"You mess with one, you mess with em all J.R."! J.R.:"Well the game might have to do that next as he and X-Pac are gonna go at it, don't go away"! Lawler:"And who's the other man Piper's kept a secret about"?! COMMERCIAL.... RETURN FROM BREAK.... X-PAC's THEME BY SALIVA HITS AND HE COMES DANCING OUT TO A CHORUS OF BOOS. J.R.:"Back on RAW folks as we're ready for a match that was made by Commissioner Piper about midway through tonight's broadcast and it should be a dandy". Lawler:"What an oppurtunity for X-Pac to defeat his old best friend J.R."! "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO MAYBE THE LOUDEST OVATION OF THE NIGHT. J.R.:"It was X-Pac if you remember fans that stabbed his back on his long time friend Triple H to join the NWO and I gaurantee it's fresh in the game's mind tonight". Lawler:"He got sick of being in his shadow J.R. and I don't blame him. This is X-Pac's night to make a statement". X-Pac vs. Triple H Before the match started, Triple H asked for a mic and dared Hollywood Hogan to come out and interfere in this match. He then threw the mic down and took X-Pac down after a collar and elbow tie up. X-Pac got up and caught Helmsley with a few knifedge chops and a spin kick to the chin. Helmsley fell straight down to the bottom turnbuckle and X-Pac circled the ring before delivering the bronco buster. X-Pac was in control and then he went to the top rope and hit a cross body press to get a long 2 count. But Triple H ducked a clothesline and stopped, grabbing X-Pac around the head and dropping down with a neckbreaker. He then whipped X-Pac into the ropes and after ducking a clothesline, X-Pac was drilled by a flying knee to the head. After Triple H hit his facebuster to the knee, Scott Hall and Kevin Nash came out. But before they could interject themselves, referee Earl Hebner went out and got in Nash's face, telling him to leave. As this went on, Shawn Michaels came out and cracked a steel chair across the back of Scott Hall. He then threw the chair under the ropes into the ring as Nash came after him. But in the ring, X-Pac used a low blow on Triple H followed by the "X-Factor" onto the chair as Hebner turned and counted the 3 for the big upset. Lawler:"Ahahahaha, X-Pac has done it"! J.R.:"Wait a minute, what's this"? HALL, NASH AND X-PAC GANGED UP ON MICHAELS AND TRIPLE H, BEATING THEM DOWN IN THE RING WHEN THE SOUND OF GLASS BREAKING HIT AND "STONE COLD" STEVE AUSTIN CAME OUT TO A DEAFENING CHEER. X-PAC TRIED HIM FIRST BUT FELL VICTIM TO A STUNNER. AUSTIN THEN DRILLED HALL WITH THE STUNNER AND DUCKED A CLOTHESLINE BY NASH BEFORE HITTING THE STUNNER ON HIM AS WELL. HOLLYWOOD HOGAN AND VAL VENIS CAME OUT INTO THE ENTRANCEWAY BUT STOPPED. FROM THE RING, AUSTIN FLIPPED THEM BOTH OFF. J.R.:"Oh my god! Now business has picked up and the TWF has life! The rattlesnake has returned"! Lawler:"This is the worst thing that could've happened! I forgot all about him"! J.R.:"This is it King, it's gotta be, Austin is the man Piper was eluding to"! Lawler:"Code Red is gonna be a dark day J.R., a dark day"! J.R.:"But for who"? OFF AIR.....
