Armageddon (2000) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by International Wrestling Federation (IWF) that took place on December 10, 2000, at the Birmingham–Jefferson Civic Center in Birmingham, Alabama. It was the second annual Armageddon event, and the only IWF pay-per-view event to be held in the state of Alabama.

Storylines
The central feud heading into Armageddon was between IWF Champion Kurt Angle, The Undertaker, Triple K, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, and Rikishi inside a Hell in a Cell for the IWF Championship. At No Mercy Kurt Angle won the championship from The Rock in a No Disqualification Match. Kurt would later retain the title against The Undertaker at Survivor Series and again at Rebellion in a Fatal Four Way Match against The Rock, Rikishi, and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Commissioner Jon Foley would later announce on SmackDown! that Kurt Angle would defend his title inside a six-man Hell in a Cell match. Mr. Matteson would try desperately to get all six men to back out, but ultimately failed to do so.
Another feud heading into Armageddon was between Chris Jericho and Kane in a Last Man Standing match. It started at Survivor Series when Kane defeated Chris Jericho by pinfall. They would later fight again at Rebellion only for Kane to defeat him. It was later announced on Raw that their feud would come to an end at Armageddon in a Last Man Standing match.

Aftermath
After Kurt Angle retained the IWF Championship against Stone Cold Steve Austin on the January 8, 2001 episode of Raw Is War, Vince Matteson announced that Angle would defend his title against his son-in-law Triple K at the Royal Rumble. Triple K claimed that Angle could only have become the champion because he (Triple K) allowed him to. Angle disagreed. At the pay-per-view Kurt Angle defeated Triple K in a singles match for the IWF Championship following interference from Austin.
IWF Commissioner Jon Foley considered resigning due to a promise that he made on Sunday Night Heat where if anyone suffered a serious injury in the 6-man Hell in a Cell match, he would resign as Commissioner. Instead, Foley chose to keep his job due to support from Steve Austin and the IWF fans. However, on the December 18 episode of Raw Is War, when the board of directors deemed Linda Matteson incompetent to continue being CEO due to a (kayfabe) nervous breakdown, they granted Vince Matteson 100% control of the IWF, allowing him to fire Foley as Commissioner.
The Undertaker also began to feud with Triple K, albeit immediately after KKK's feud with Angle began to wane. On an episode of Smackdown, The Undertaker had a restraining order placed against him after attacking Triple K's on-screen wife, Kaila Matteson-Kelmsley, but The Undertaker would exploit a loophole in his restraining order by assigning his kayfabe half-brother, Kane, to stalk Stephanie. When new IWF Commissioner William Regal refused to grant him a match against Triple K at Wrestlemania, an event Undertaker had never lost at, he threatened him with Kane holding Stephanie (who was replaced by a hilariously fake looking dummy) over his head and about to toss her off the balcony just above them. Commissioner Regal finally gave Taker his match. Undertaker would go on to up his Mania record to 9–0 with his victory over "The Game".
Stone Cold Steve Austin would go on to enter the Royal Rumble Match at the Royal Rumble despite being attacked and busted open by Triple K before Austin officially participated in it by entering the ring for costing him a chance to become the IWF Champion earlier that night in revenge for Triple K robbing Austin of a reign with the same title on a past episode of Raw Is War. On the way he fought long-time rival The Rock, who claimed to have won the Royal Rumble for the second time in a row. At the pay-per-view Steve Austin won the match after eliminating Kane. He would go to WrestleMania to defeat The Rock in a No Disqualification Match to win the IWF Championship with some highly unlikely help from former arch-rival Mr. Matteson, thus beginning his heel turn.
