Tag Team Title Tournament: Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko defeated Fit Finlay and Dave Taylor

Bret Hart defeated Will Sasso (w/Debra Wilson)
- Will Sasso was wearing a black football jersey, blue shorts, red knee bads, and white boots. Debra Wilson, also from MAD TV, accompanied her fellow partner, Sasso. Bret Hart dominated Sasso, who sold the moves very well. At one point, Hart brought a chair and a bottle of water in the ring, to rest. On the outside of the ring, Hart choked Sasso with cables. He wanted to hit Sasso with a chair, but Wilson stopped the move. Wilson automatically turned on Sasso, and nailed him with a chair. Hart dragged Sasso into the ring, hit him in the groin, and strapped him in the Sharpshooter for the win. Wilson raised Hart's hand in the end, and they both hugged each other.
• Backstage, The Wolfpac-NWO arrived in their black jeeps. The announcer's had no idea what they were laughing about, since they didn't see the footage of Ric Flair being beaten down in the middle of no where. The Wolfpac-NWO made their ways in through the crowd, instead of the entrance way. Hollywood Hogan, remaining in a ski-mask at some point, said he was not afraid to face Flair at Super Brawl IX. The rest of The Wolfpac-NWO took off to the locker room for some reason. Hogan said he would give Flair a Heavyweight Title shot right then and there. Hogan gave Flair a 10 count to come to the ring, but Flair never did since he was attacked earlier in the night. United States Champion, Roddy Piper, made his way down instead. Piper said he was tired of Hogan, and would give Hogan a reality check (he was sporting a T-shirt of it). Piper said since he was still WCW Commissioner, he would wrestle Hogan then and there for the title.
Roddy Piper defeated Hollywood Hogan by Disqualification, to let Hogan retain the Heavyweight Title.
- Roddy Piper and Hollywood Hogan brawled around the ring. Piper was able to slap around Hogan with Hogan's belt. Piper had his usual sleeper finishing maneuver on Hogan, but it was broken once Scott Hall entered. Hall stunned Piper all over with the taser. Other Wolfpac-NWO members made their ways in. Hall dawned Piper's quilt, bowed to the crowd, and acted like a bashful woman.
• Footage was shown of one of Ric Flair's friend picking him up from the ground. Flair moaned to his friend to take him to the Fairgrounds.
• Footage was shown of Scott Steiner's lawyer issuing a statement. Steiner was supposedly injured by Diamond Dallas Page. DDP would be taken to court.
• An Elizabeth and Lex Luger promo was shown, where they insulted Konnan and Rey Mysterio, Jr.
Tag Team Title Tournament: Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko defeated Mike Enos and Scotty Riggs with Benoit's Crippler Crossface.
- While the match went to a commercial break, Ric Flair's friend stopped his truck at a gas station. Flair tried to get out of the truck, but his friend brought him right back in. Scotty Riggs and Mike Enos came very close to beating Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit. Malenko and Benoit were about to finish off the match with the same maneuver they finished off Fit Finlay and Dave Taylor with, but were unsuccessful. Instead, Benoit finished off Riggs with the Crippler Crossface, while Malenko held back Enos on the outside of the ring.
Ric Flair's friend continued to drive to the Fairgrounds.
• More footage was shown of the woman coming on to the guy behind the camera in their hotel room. She was in a robe, and said to the man behind the camera they still had a few minutes to have fun before he went to go "talk to those guys."
• Michael Buffer gave the main event introduction, but The Wolfpac-NWO interfered. Hollywood Hogan said Ric Flair was backstage hiding from him. Hogan gave Flair a 20 count to come down to the ring and face him for the Heavyweight Title. Flair and his friend arrived in their pick-up truck. A beaten down Flair fell out of the truck, picked up a stick from the behind of the truck, and slowly made his way down to the ring through the crowd, falling most of the time. Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko came in to try and put The Wolfpac-NWO to a stop, but were out-numbered. Flair was beaten down once again with a stick. Flair, desperately, tried to fight back, but nothing. The show went off the air with Hall in the back with his taser. He said, "Now you know how it's done. Don't mess it up."
