Sycho Sid, Mike Awesome and Tajiri defeated Diesel, Davey Boy Smith and Power Warrior when Sycho Sid pinned P. Warrior with the Power Bomb in 7:06. DUD
Commissioner Slaughter decided to have Warrior, Diesel and Davey Boy settle their issues with each other by having them team against Sid and Awesome and the newly acquired Tajiri. The plan backfired when Warrior and Diesel squabbled, and Warrior fell into a Sid power bomb. Davey Boy was cut off, and Sid's team scored the win.
In-Ring: The Hell-Raisers
Austin and Goldberg came down to ringside as the wrestlers left, but Power Warrior was still in the ring alone after being powerbombed by Sycho Sid. Hawk came out to defend his friend, but he was outnumbered. As Goldberg and Austin were about to attack him, the mystery man came out of the crowd. Security stopped Austin and Goldberg from confronting him, and escorted them up the ramp. As security tried to divide the men, a second masked man hit them from behind with a chair! Hawk and Power Warrior and the two masked men dragged Austin and Goldberg out, and tossed them out of the arena. Goldberg and Austin, enraged, promised to see the four men again, and pay them back at the Crushed PPV!
