The main event was a Caged Heat match, in which Kevin Nash defended the title against Booker T. Booker defeated Nash to win the title. Notable matches on the undercard were Scott Hunter versus Goldberg in a no disqualification match, Mike Awesome versus Jeff Jarrett in a Bunkhouse Brawl and Sting versus The Great Muta and Vampiro in a Triangle match and a ten-person elimination match between Filthy Animals and Natural Born Thrillers, which was stopped when Animals' teammate Paul Orndorff was injured during the match. The next night on Nitro, the elimination match was resumed with the remaining competitors, Rey Mysterio, Jr. and Mike Sanders, Chuck Palumbo, Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak of The Natural Born Thrillers in which the Filthy Animals won by pinfall after Tygress hit a facebuster on Mike Sanders.
