If you saw the Royal Rumble, then you witnessed perhaps the most heinous act in the history of the WWF, when Paul Bearer and Kane locked the Undertaker in the casket and set it on fire. (If you missed it the first time-- Royal Rumble: The Encore Presentation! is on Tuesday!) Bearer and the younger brother of the Phenom opened up RAW by gloating in the apparent end to the Man From the Dark Side.
Skull, 8-Ball and Chainz of the D.O.A took on Faarooq, Kama and D'Lo of the Nation of Domination. During the Rumble, many members of the Nation attacked each other, could they stand as a united front for this match? The official was forced to ring the bell and disqualify both teams when all six men entered the squared circle. "The Rock" and Mark Henry quickly joined their brothers in this wild melee, but were quickly followed by Ken Shamrock and Ahmed Johnson--two men who have a score to settle with the Nation.
Marvelous Marc Mero defeated Tom Brandi with the help of Sable. While the blonde bombshell was up on the ring apron distracting the official, Mero connected with a devastating low blow to the big Italian. The Marvelous One then hit with a TKO and easily registered a three-count.
Jacques and Pierre, better known as the Quebecers, made their return to the World Wrestling Federation last night to take on Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie. The Canadians won the match by disqualification after Cactus Jack applied the Mandible Claw to the official.
Jeff Jarrett defended his NWA North American Title against Blackjack Bradshaw. Bradshaw who had a very impressive showing in the Royal Rumble, was escorted to the ring by his fellow Blackjack, Barry Windham. The champion was flanked by Jim Cornette and the Rock & Roll Express who were ringside dishing out "cheap shots" every possible chance. With Cornette up on the ring apron, Windham came in to help his partner, but a clothesline was misdirected and he leveled Bradshaw instead, allowing Jarrett to record the easy pinfall. After the bell sounded, Cornette's crew was issuing more punishment to Bradshaw when Windham came in. After he helped his partner to his feet, he then attacked him! Windham left with Cornette, Jarrett, Ricky, Robert and a huge smile on his face! Barry Windham was the new recruit James E. was talking about. The Blackjacks are seemingly history!
D-Generation X promised that they were going to look for the Undertaker all night. Their first attempt landed them in the back of a hearse with a handful of beautiful California girls, and their second try was not as much fun for them as they couldn't get any information out of the Mexican mini's. To open the War Zone, the Undertaker was going to find them! The Phenom dropped in from the rafters and made his way to the ring. As his arms rose the music changed, and Shawn Michaels was the one dressed as the Undertaker! He was soon joined in the ring by Triple H and Chyna, who brought a grill and some food to celebrate HBK's defeat of the Dead Man and mock the raging inferno which destroyed the Phenom's casket. Hunter challenged Owen Hart to a European Title match next week on RAW IS WAR, and Shawn let Austin know that he may have won the right to face the champion at WrestleMania XIV, but there is no way he will walk out of the Fleet Center as the champion!
Owen Hart, Taka Michinoku and the Headbangers defeated Los Boricuas when Owen locked Jose in the Sharpshooter.
"The Rock" defeated Ahmed Johnson after Mark Henry walloped the Pearl River Powerhouse with a steel chair in the back. Maivia followed with a choke slam and the pin.
The New Age Outlaws defended the Federation Tag Team Championship by defeating the Godwinns. The Outlaws used a stuffed pig, with a brick hidden inside, to smack Phineas and remain the champs.
