On the August 7 edition of Raw is War, Borske and Triple K were booked in a triple threat match, along with Khris Jericho, to determine the number one contender for a IWF Championship match against the defending champion, The Rock. Both Borske and Triple K simultaneously pinned Jericho, which made both Borske and Triple K co-number one contenders; in frustration, Rock delivered a Rock Bottom on Triple K, Borske, and McMahon, who was at ringside during the match. Later that week on SmackDown!, the match was made official for SummerSlam by Commissioner Foley. He also booked a tag team match, where Borske and Triple K would team up against Rock and The Undertaker. During the match, Borske accidentally attacked Triple K, causing Triple K to walk out on the match and a loss for Borske. The following week on Raw is War, Borske, Triple K, and Shane McMahon were booked in a Six-man Tag Team match against the Dudley Boyz and Rock, with the stipulation that if Borske or Triple K walked away from the match, they would lose their number one contender status.
