- Vince McMahon makes his way down to the ring. He wishes us all a happy New Year and states that his New Year's resolution is to embarass and humilliate Ric Flair at the Royal Rumble (to beat him beyond recognition). The fans are chanting "WHAT" and McMahon asks for some courtesy but doesn't get any. He then moves to Time Magazine's "Person of the Year". It is Rudy Guilliani, mayor of New York. He says that there were others considered for this honor and he shows his own picture on Time Magazine. The fans continue to chant "WHAT" and Vince says that if they don't stop he will take action. The fans continue and Vince asks for sections of the audience to have their lights cut out. Pretty soon the whole arena is dark and the Titan Tron is gone. He comments on his power before Stone Cold Steve Austin's music hits. McMahon hollers for the lights to come back up and when they do, Austin is in the ring right behind him. Austin starts the "WHAT" chant and asks Vince if he just called himself the Person of the Year. He says that whoever thinks Vince is the Jackass of the Year, gimme a hell yeah. Stone Cold then goes onto touch on his New Year's resolutions. "Drink more beer, drink more whiskey, more tequilla, more vodka, more red wine," he said. The biggest resolution he has is that the first time he lays eyes on him, he would knock him out. Booker T and Big Bossman make their way out and McMahon tries to attack Austin but Stone Cold catches him with a punch. This allows Bossman and Booker T to overpower Stone Cold and the two lay a beating on him. Bossman grabs the mic and drives it into Austin's head repeatedly causing Austin's head to bleed. They continue their vicious assault, taking turns with Vince standing over them smiling. The three finally leave with the bloodied Austin laid out in the ring, walking away with smiles.

Match #2:
"Mighty" Molly vs. Jazz
Outcome: Three double underhook suplexes by Jazz results in only a two count. Jazz goes for a splash, but misses, and Molly attempts a rollup but she too only gets a two count. Jazz finally nails a fisherman's DDT for the 1-2-3 pinfall.
Winner: Jazz

- Backstage, Test tells Lance Storm and Christian that he hooked up with a European woman. Christian asks him what her name was and Test says that he didn't even ask her. Lance interrupts the two and says "what are we here for again" because they were asked to be here. Before anyone can answer, Chris Jericho enters the lockerroom and says that these three are his best buddies. Jericho gives them each a present and Christian wonders whether this festive mood Jericho's in is because Triple H returns this Monday on Raw. Jericho says no and gave them gifts because they deserve them - Test, Mr. Immunity; Christian - Champion of Europe; Lance Storm - Beat the Rock, 1-2-3 to get his job back. The gifts are a token of his appreciation for men who will watch each others backs. Jericho tells them he has a match and so they should leave. They do.

- Still backstage, Test is walking in the hallway when Torrie Wilson walks past. He says he bought her a present - the same present that Jericho gave him. She opens it and it's a Jericho shirt. Test says it's all about the thought. He asks her if after the show they want to go out and party. Torrie says that she's already taken, but Test responds by saying that he doesn't want to be her boyfriend. Test asks her how she can refuse him. "If you get with the Test, you forget about the rest," he says. Torrie once again says that she has a boyfriend and Test gets upset and challenges Tajiri to a match tonight to see who the better man is.

Match #3:
Big Show vs. The Undertaker
Outcome: Undertaker walks towards Big Show with a chair, but "The Showster" punches it, knocking The Undertaker in the face. Big Show signals for the Last Ride, but Undertaker low blows him and hits the Dragon Sleeper and Show taps out.
Winner: The Undertaker

Match #4:
Kurt Angle & Chris Jericho vs. Edge & Rob Van Dam
Outcome: All four men are in the ring and Edge hits the Edge-E-Cution on Jericho, but Angle sneaks up behind him and throws down the Angle Slam. Jericho slowly rolls over top of the dazed Edge and gets the 1-2-3 pinfall with Van Dam and Angle fighting outside the ring.
Winner: Kurt Angle & Chris Jericho

- Ric Flair enters the arena and meets with Arn Anderson. Flair says that he's been taking care of serious business. Anderson tells Flair what happened during the Vince/Austin altercation with Booker and Bossman attacking Austin. Flair can't believe it and tells Anderson to watch what he's gonna do as he heads to the ring, presumably for an announcement of some sort. Flair then emerges from the back and walks down the ramp to the ring. He asks the fans if Vince McMahon has been acting up again and we hear a positive response. He goes on to say that he endorses The Rock in his match against Booker T tonight. Flair then calls out Vince McMahon, saying that he has to face him at Royal Rumble where he has to be a wrestler. Stephanie McMahon comes rumbling through the audience and is held back by security. Flair tells them to let her go and Stephanie enters the ring, buttoning up her pants. Flair asks Steph if she wants to talk to him. Steph takes the mic and says that letting her into this ring was a smart business decision. She then says that she's been impressed with Flair for a very long time, stating that she's a Ric Flair fan. She's been watching wrestling for a long time and when she was little, she had a crush on the "Nature Boy". But as she grew older, that crush turned into respect. She sucks up to Flair and says that she respects him so much that she sold him all her stock in the WWF. But when it comes to business, Flair just falls a little bit short. She says that with all due respect, he is the man but when it comes to business, she is the man. She has no doubt that he will annihiliate her father at the Royal Rumble. Flair starts strutting around, bouncing off the ring ropes, etc. Stephanie gets upset and ends up slapping Flair. Stephanie then says that he needs her but he only has four days to make his decision because, come this Monday when Triple H returns on Raw, the Game will really begin.

Match #5:
Tajiri vs. Test
Outcome: Test goes for the big boot, but Tajiri ducks underneath it and kicks Test in the face instead. Tajiri goes for a running spinning heel kick, but misses and ends up meeting the big boot. Test covers him and gets the 1-2-3 pinfall.
Winner: Test

Match #6:
Booker T vs. The Rock
Outcome: The hits a spinebuster and goes for the People's Elbow. Bossman comes down and distracts Rock. Clothesline by Booker T and The Rock sends Booker into Bossman. Booker turns around and walks right into the Rock Bottom. The Rock covers him for the 1-2-3 pinfall. The Rock will face Chris Jericho at the Royal Rumble.
Winner: The Rock

- After the match, Bossman attacks The Rock and hits the Bossman slam on him. Booker T and Bossman double team The Rock, with Booker T hitting the Book-End. Bossman starts pounding on The Rock while several more officials enter the ring to stop the attack. Stone Cold's music hits and he comes out bandaged up and ready to fight. Austin enters and goes after Booker T. Bossman tries to blindside Austin but Austin handles him and clotheslines Booker T to the outside. He then turns to Bossman, stomping away and punching on him repeatedly. Booker T sneaks in from behind and clocks Austin with a steel chair. Austin and The Rock are both laid out in the ring and Bossman and Booker T leave, as Smackdown! goes off the air!
