Richards hit Test with a huge powerbomb and got the three count to become the new (temporary) champ. Holly hit Test with an Alabama Slam to become the champ.
Boss Man finally entered the match. The other four competitors are beaten down. Test took out Holly and got the three count. Holly, Test and Shamrock were all bleeding.

Rock was up and countered Big Show's run into a Samoan drop. A minute later, Rock hit the Rock Bottom. Big Show got up and speared The Rock. He was then able to climb out of the cage.
Main Event. Triple H w/ Stephanie vs. Mankind WWF Championship
Will Mankind make it a clean sweep with a title change? Triple H landed a super hip toss and a knee smash. The match then spilled to the outside. Mankind went to spear Triple H through the barricade, but he blocked it and hit a DDT. Manking got up and shoved Mr. Socko down The Game's throat. Triple H threw Mankind back in the ring. He hit some right hands and hit two knee smashes. After a two count, Triple H hit the Pedigree to retain the title.
