Before the next match, Sid Justice was interviewed by Mooney about his match next with The Undertaker. They then switch to Lord Alfred Hayes talking with both Paul Bearer and The Undertaker. As The Undertaker went for the Tombstone, Harvey Wippleman jumped on the ring apron distracting him. The enabled Justice to take control of the match. The two ultimately made their way outside the ring, which enabled Justice to pick up the count-out victory, after as he was able to get back into the ring before the count of 10, although Undertaker was not. After the match, Justice continued to attack Undertaker, including hitting him with a chair. Undertaker however sat up and hit the tombstone on Justice.

They next return to the back where Shawn Michaels discusses how he will defeat Randy Savage for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Savage picked up the victory after a high cross body from the top. After the match, Michaels attacked Savage, and as Sherri attempted to jump off the top rope, Savage moved out of the way and Sherri hit Michaels instead.

The Bushwhackers next made their way out and were interviewed by Mooney.

Backstage Hayes interviewed Jimmy Hart and The Mountie about taking on Virgil next. While The Mountie was show boating to the crowd, Virgil was able to regroup and went on the offensive against Mountie. As Virgil went toward the rope, Hart tripped Virgil. While the referee was distracted, Mountie used his taser on Virgil to pick up the victory.

Mooney next interviews Rick Martel about this WWF Intercontinental Championship match next with Bret Hart, followed by Hayes interviewing Hart. As Martel went for a suplex Hart rolled him up into an inside cradle to pick up the victory, and retain the title.
