Nitro comes on the air with the arrival of Vince McMahon, Al Snow, Big Van Vader, Steve Austin and Bret Hart.
McMahon: Tonight is going to be a wonderful night guys I can feel it.
Austin: Vince tonight I am going to teach that son of a bitch Kid Kash a lesson. Did you see what he did to me Saturday night?
McMahon: Don't worry I have a plan. Vader, Bret tonight I want you two to team with Steve against Kash, William Regal and Mick Foley.
Austin: I don't need those two to help me beat that son of a bitch.
McMahon: Guys why don't you go on in. Al you have a match up first so hurry up.
After everyone but Steve and Vince are in Vince turns to Steve.
McMahon: Listen Steve, you and I both know that you are the main man around here. Let's face it Al will never be a big time player and Bret and Vader are both over the hill. Now just team with them and try to give them a few minutes in the ring.
Austin: Ok boss. But if they blow this I am going to open a can on them.
McMahon: Sure.
We then go to the ring where Al Snow is waiting for Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett came out and was a house of fire. Jarrett seemed set on showing McMahon that he never should have been let go years ago by the WWF. However during the match Steve Austin came to ringside. Snow distracted the ref when Austin hit Jarrett in the throat with his guitar allowing Snow to hit a German Suplex for the win.
Al Snow pinned Jeff Jarrett after a German suplex in 0:06:41.

After the break we see Scott Steiner in the ring with Tylene.
Steiner: Hello to all my freaks out there. Tonight I am going to be facing a so called sex superstar in Rick Rude. Well let me ask my freaks out there, do you find Rude sexy?
There is mild response and then Rude hits the ring.
Rude: Hey Steiner. It takes more then having a blonde on your arm and being all jacked up to be sexy. Hey Blondie, how about you come over here and you can tell us who is the sexiest.
Tylene comes over and Rude plants a kiss on her. After letting go Tylene seems like she likes but is setting Rude up for a sneak attack by Steiner. Steiner beats the hell out of Rude but he gets the last laugh. Steiner goes for a Frankensteiner but Rude counters into a power bomb for the win. After the match Rude quickly bails as Steiner snaps and beats the hell out of the official Tim White.

Malenko: Hey Chris how's it going?
Benoit: Hey Dean everything fine. I am glad you remember my name.
Malenko: What is that suppose to mean?
Benoit: Well since the companies merged I thought we could catch up on things but you have pretty much ignored me.
Malenko: Well you know this goes both ways. You could have come up to me.
Benoit: Well you know something that can go both ways? Me kicking your ass and you taking it.
Malenko: You go it.
We then go to break. After the break we see the eight man tag between the nWo and the RTC. This match wasn't much more then a showcase for the nWo. During the match the RTC did get a bit of offense in when The Hardy Boys attacked the Tag Team Champions Albert and Rick Steiner. This distracted Venis who was attacked from behind and given the Pedigree. In the back we see Chris Jericho getting attacked by Sean Waltman and Justin Credible.

After the break we see Sean Waltman in the ring.
Sean: Hey Jericho you aren't the only one that can hang out with a gang. You weren't even around the first time the nWo, then known as the Kliq, was together. But Justin and I were. We should be there not you. So Jericho how about you bring your rock star wannabe ass down here.
Jericho charged the ring and we have our next match. This was a high flying match. Both men used the top rope to gain the advantage at one point. Sean nearly got the win when he hit his X-Factor but Jericho kicked out. Jericho recovered when Scott Hall came to ringside distracting Sean. This brought out Justin who brawled with Hall. In the ring Jericho hit a missile dropkick followed by his 'Lionsault' Asai moonsault for the win.

After the match the rest of the nWo attacked Waltman and Credible and left them laying spray painted with the nWo letters on their back. We then go to the back where we see Kid Kash, Mick Foley and William Regal getting ready.
Foley: Listen tonight could be big for us. None of us like Vince McMahon or his stooges.
Regal: Well make sure that kid doesn't mess up. A chance like this doesn't come along everyday.
Kash: Listen you can talk to me directly William. I might be young but you saw me on Saturday Night. I can hang with the best of them.
Regal: Well listen here you miserable little toe rag. Maybe Steve was right about teaching you some respect. Just make sure you don't mess up. Lets get going.
Foley: Eye Eye captain.
McMahon's stooges picked up a win in a match that saw a lot of tags and brawls. Early on Regal was controlled by the Vince's team. It seemed like Regal was done for when he made a tag to Kash. Kash was a house of fire and the star for his team. He controlled Hart and got several near falls. Vader came in and got the same results. Austin came in and knocked Kash into Foley who came in. Foley and Austin brawled until Austin hit the Stunner for the win.
Bret Hart, Steve Austin and Big Van Vader defeated William Regal, Mick Foley and Kid Kash when S. Austin pinned Foley with the Stone Cold Stunner in 0:09:02.
