6. WWF Championship Match:
   Sycho Sid def. Shawn Michaels (ch)
   In this match between the two former friends, to some surprise, the audience seemed to cheer more toward Sid than to Shawn. At moments, Shawn was even boo'ed out! The match consisted of tiresome power wrestling, with Sid in control most of the time. Outside the ring, Sid attacked Shawn's manager, Jose Lothario, with a TV camera. When Shawn tried to help him, Sid attacked him too, with the camera. Sid then won after a power bomb.

In Your House XII

1. Rocky Maivia def. Salvatore Sincere
   Rocky Maivia won with a shoulderbreaker. Once again Jim Cornette comes up short in his quest to get back at Rocky for refusing to let him manage his career.
2. Flash Funk def. Leif Cassidy
   Two former ECW stars opened the IYH PPV when Leif Cassidy went up against Flash Funk. Cassidy showed that he can work well without Marty performing not one but two planchas, one over the top rope and another from the top of the turnbuckle. Funk performed the usual aerial tactics and also went for his signature 2 Cold maneuver (Shooting Star Press) from the top rope and got the win.
3. Tag Team Championship Match:
   Owen Hart & British Bulldog (ch) def. "Razor Ramon" & "Diesel"
   It seemed that Davey Boy didn't have his mind set during their title match against Razor/Diesel. Davey Boy had his mind on Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Champions were distracted by not only Cibernetico and Pierroth from AAA but also when Stone Cold came out to ringside and was met by the Bulldog. They started slugging it out until Austin was led back to the dressing room by the officials.
   Owen and the British Bulldog won, then Davey Boy was clipped by Steve Austin when he came back into the ring and Owen Hart didn't do anything to help his partner.

   Vince McMahon then announced the return of Ahmed Johnson who said that Ahmed will meet Faarooq in January at the Royal Rumble. Ahmed said on account of what happened between him and Faarooq that he lost everything that was dear to him. Then all of a sudden Faarooq and the NOD made a surprise appearance and Faarooq called his enemy an "Uncle Tom." He finished by saying he was going to make an example of Johnson "by any means necessary."

4. Intercontinental Championship Match:
   Hunter Hearst Helmsley (ch) def. "Wildman" Marc Mero
   Most of the action would have been appreciated if the satellite signal wasn't as screwed up as it was during the match. It seemed that Hunter was doing his best to get himself disqualified, but the ref was having no part of it whatsoever. Prior to the match there was some kind of confrontation between Hunter and Marlena, and that brought out Goldust who accidentally knocked out Wildman Marc Mero while attempting to knock out Hunter. Wildman won by a countout.
5. Undertaker def. Executioner
   The Armageddon Rules match literally turned into a handicapped bout that almost brought the house down when Mankind interfered. The match went from the ring to the house built on the set. Then all of a sudden, security came to ringside and maced Mankind and put him in a strait jacket. Then Undertaker and the Executioner fought outside the arena and UT made his way back and systematically attacked Mankind. He beat him back to the dressing room, and then got the Executioner in the Tombstone inside the squared circle and pinned him for the win.
6. WWF Championship Match:
   Sycho Sid (ch) def. Bret "Hit Man" Hart
   From the ringing of the bell, Bret tried to fight Sid's fight by slugging the champ from behind. Bret made a mistake by trying to fight Sid style instead of wrestling him. Shawn Michaels was doing co-commentary and was making references to how much of a role model Bret was claiming to be.
   It was classic with Bret Hart working on Sid like a textbook wrestler. Out came Stone Cold Steve Austin who knee clipped the Hit Man and that brought out Davey Boy Smith and the WWF officials. Then throughout the melee, both individuals wound up in front of Shawn Michaels at the announcing table and in similar fashion to when Diesel fought Shawn Michaels and Bret was at ringside, Sid shoved Shawn to provoke him. Then Shawn got on top of the ring apron as Sid whipped Bret into the rope, and Shawn went flying off the ring onto the ground,costing Bret the match. Sid got Bret in the Powerbomb and won the opportunity to face Shawn Michaels in January at the Royal Rumble. Hart then took out his frustration on HBK, kicking him to the ground.
