- British Bulldog with Jim Cornette vs Diesel-Diesel backs Bulldog into the corner to start and knees him before whipping him across the ring and clotheslining him. Diesel catches Bulldog off a crossbody attempt and bodyslams him before clotheslining him out of the ring. Bulldog yanks Diesel legs out from under him and rams them into the ring post before stomping away at his legs. Bulldog continues to work over Diesel's legs until Yokozuna walks down to ringside.

Yokozuna gets a shot on Diesel after Bulldog distracts the referee and Bulldog continues the beat down before kicking Diesel out of the ring. Yokozuna rolls Diesel back in the ring as Bulldog takes off the top turnbuckle.

Diesel gets the visual three, but Cornette distracts the referee as Yokozuna tries to leg drop Bulldog. Diesel dodges and Yokozuna accidentally leg drops Bulldog, allowing Diesel to get the win. A pretty whatever match, not much to talk about.
- Dok Hendrix says that despite the threat of legal action, we'll be seeing another Billionaire Ted sketch tonight...f*ck. Hendrix then hypes up the steel cage match at the Royal Rumble match between Bret Hart and Diesel for the WWF Championship. Hendrix throws it to Hart, who says he used to respect Diesel, but not anymore. He says Diesel is constantly interfering in his matches and they'll settle it once and for all at In Your House. He also calls Diesel a "big dummy." Back to Hendrix, he hypes up the match-up between Shawn Michaels and Owen Hart with Michaels' WrestleMania title shot on the line and announces the infamous "Cry Baby match" between Razor Ramon and the 1-2-3 Kid, where the loser gets diapered and feed with a bottle. There's a reason they only did this once. Also, Hendrix announces that Duke "The Dumpster" Droese will face Hunter Hearst Helmsley, which came about after Helmsley attacked Droese and cut his hair.
- We get a press conference with Billionaire Ted, the Huckster, and the Nacho Man. You probably don't need me to tell you how bad it was. Reporters slam Ted for running
Nitrohis "wrasslin' show" against RAW and claim he's only runningNitroto run the WWF out of business. They then ask the Nacho Man and the Huckster who will win their match at WrestleMania, and the two start to fight. It ends with a "to be continued" - The Bodydonnas with Sunny vs The Godwinns with Hillbilly Jim-This marks the RAW debut of Phineas I. Godwinn (P.I.G). Henry & Skip start, with Henry going for a gorilla press slam on Skip, only for Zip to enter the ring and kick his leg out from under him. The Bodydonnas double suplex on Henry, but miss on the Rocket Launcher attempt. At ringside, Sunny flirts with Hillbilly Jim, so Jim comes over to her with a bucket of slop. Phineas gets in the ring and runs wild and hits the Slop Drop on Skip for the win. Sunny gets in the ring (for some reason) and the Godwinns & Jim force her to do-si-do before she runs off.
- Next week, Bret Hart puts the WWF Championship on the line against the Undertaker.
- Jim Cornette & Clarence Mason cut a promo claiming that Vader's suspension is unlawful and that Vader was defending himself after Gorilla Monsoon put his hands on him. Mason also says he will pursue criminal & civil actions if the suspension is not dropped.
- Vince McMahon brings out the interim president of the WWF now that Gorilla Monsoon...Roddy Piper! Piper says that things are getting out of hand in the WWF before saying that the current roster has some of the toughest & greatest athletes. He says the only thing the new superstars need is to be straightened out. He then takes out his rule list, then puts it away because he's never lived by rules in his life. He says he loves the fans and that they're in good hands with him. Piper then gives McMahon an airplane spin for no reason.
- We get a vignette for MANKIND! He says that many of life's great questions remain unanswered, like why is he the way he is and why are people so frightened of him. It's actually a pretty creepy vignette.
- Yokozuna with Jim Cornette vs Shawn Michaels-Yokozuna over powers Michaels to start before Michaels uses his speed to take control and knock Yokozuna out of the ring. Michaels then takes a victory lap as Owen Hart comes down to the ring before the commercial break. We come back to Michaels avoiding a splash in the corner before hitting a double axe handle and a moonsault for a near fall. Yokozuna responds by whipping Michaels out of the ring, where Hart stomps on him and rams him into the ring post as Cornette distracts the referee. Michaels gets back in the ring, where Yokozuna puts on the shoulder claw. Michaels is able to fight out, but Yokozuna is able to knock him back down before another commercial break. We come back to Michaels dodging a leg drop from Yokozuna. Michaels goes to the top rope, but Yokozuna dodges a splash. Michaels punches away at Yokozuna and knocks him off his feet before going for a double ax handle again, only to get caught and rammed into the corner. Cornette distracts the referee again as Yokozuna holds Michaels up for Hart, only for Michaels to dodge it, causing Hart to hit Yokozuna with a spinning heel kick. This allows Michaels to hit Sweet Chin Music for the win. Again, it's pretty much just a match. Nothing really worth watching. After the match, Yokozuna & Hart argue as Cornette & the British Bulldog tr to calm them down. Camp Cornette turns their attention to Shawn Michaels, but Diesel runs down to make the save. Vince McMahon goes to interview Jim Cornette, who says that there is no dissension in Camp Cornette before challenging Michaels & Diesel to a match against Bulldog & Yokozuna. The two accept as the show closes

Flair starts chopping Hogan, but the chops do nothing and Hogan backbody drops Flair before clotheslining him out of the ring. Outside of the ring, Flair pokes Hogan in the eye but gets clotheslined for his troubles. Back in the ring, Flair pleads with Hogan, so Hogan beats him down until being pulled off by the referee.

The two block each other's suplexes before Hogan hits a suplex. Hogan no sells Flair's offense until Flair hits him with a back elbow. Flair hits a side suplex for a near fall and Hogan Hulks Up. Punch. Punch. Punch. Big boot. Leg drop. Hogan makes the cover and gets the visual three, but the referee gets distracted by Jimmy Hart on the apron. Arn Anderson runs down and tries to use some brass knuckles, but Hogan stops him and punches him out of the ring. At the same time, Hart grabs Elizabeth, allowing Anderson to take one of her shoes.Anderson hands Flair the shoe and Flair jabs Hogan in the face to get the win. Fine match but it got a little too ridiculous at the end. Randy Savage runs down to assist a bloody Hogan.
- The Faces of Fear vs The Road Warriors-Now that the Warlord has left WCW, the Barbarian can stop being a Super Assassin and start teaming with Meng. Also, the Road Warriors are back in WCW! Which means no more Hawk singles matches! Animal & Barbarian start off with Barbarian shoving Animal off. Animal does the same right after before Barbarian hits a big boot. Animal comes back with a powerslam followed by an elbow drop. Meng & Hawk tag in as Meng proceeds to strike Hawk to death. Meng hits a piledriver, which Hawk COMPLETELY NO SELLS! PISS OFF! Hawk hits a powerslam of his own and a fist drop before Meng rolls out of the ring. Animal tags in and he & Meng trade wrist locks until Barbarian kicks Animal in the back from the apron, allowing Meng to take control. The Faces of Fear beat down Animal until Animal counters a flying nothing from Barbarian with a clothesline. Hawk gets the hot tag and runs wild on the Faces of Fear. Barbarian sets up Hawk on the top rope for a superplex, but Animal sneaks up behind him and sets him up for the Doomsday Device. However, Meng shoves Hawk down to the mat, allowing Barbarian to avoid the move and piledrive Animal. Barbarian goes for another one, but Hawk saves Animal with a diving clothesline and gets the win. The end of the match was pretty fun & exciting, and the rest was alright except for Hawk completely no selling a piledriver.
- Mean Gene interviews Kevin Sullivan & Hugh Morrus in the ring. Kevin Sullivan gives out about Brian Pillman being a prick and about Arn Anderson not controlling him. Anderson & Pillman come out and Sullivan demands Anderson discipline Pillman. Anderson says he's going to take care of it and yells at Pillman for not being out in the ring when Flair beat Hogan. Anderson then decides to give Pillman some "tough love" and takes off his belt, only for Sullivan & Morrus to attack Anderson & Pillman. Sullivan takes the belt and whips Pillman as Anderson gives Morrus a DDT. Anderson & Pillman get back in the ring, where Anderson demands a match with Sullivan & Morrus. Pillman says he got them into the mess and he'll get them out.
- Mean Gene interviews Sister Sherri to discuss what happened at Sherri & Col. Rob Parker's wedding. This happened on Clash of the Champions, so long story short, Madusa showed up and ruined the wedding. We then see Madusa climb up onto the top rope, which leads perfectly into...
- Sister Sherri vs Madusa-Madusa hits a diving crossbody as soon as the match starts and the fight quickly goes to the outside, where Madusa throws Sherri into the steps. Madusa follows that up with a suplex on the outside before the two trade strikes. Back in the ring, Madusa knocks Sherri down and kicks her before Sherri hits a double leg drop to the midsection. Sherri goes to the top rope, but Madusa meets her up there. Madusa tries to throw Sherri to the mat, but Sherri turns it into a cradle for the win. After the match, Madusa hits a huge German suplex and beats down Sherri before the referee's stop her. That was fairly sh*t.

Ric Flair runs down and beats Savage down around ringside. Flair takes Savage into the ring, where he & Giant beat down on Savage. After TWO & A HALF MINUTES of this uninterrupted beatdown, a bandaged up Hulk Hogan finally runs down with a chair and batters the Giant.Eric Bischoff says he looked like a mummy, so I guess someone at WCW finally found out what a mummy was. Hogan then proceeds to beat down every member of the Dungeon of Doom with a chair. Flair marches over to the commentary booth, where Flair is so heated he can barely get his promo out. The Giant comes up and he cuts a bizarre promo of his own. "HOGAN! I'M GONNA TAKE YOUR BONES AND MAKE MY BREATH! YOUR BODY, HEART, AND SOUL IS MINE FOREVER!" The f*ck does that mean? Flair says he's going to take the world title and Elizabeth from the Savage one more time. Bischoff & Mongo leave the announce table as Flair goes absolutely mental.
