Pre-Show Dark Match
--Big Vito def. David Flair in 9:46 by pinfall following a running powerslam. (34)

Pre-Show Dark Match
--The Sandman def. Kevin Steen in 12:30 by pinfall with a Flapjack. (44)

--Sting and DDP come down to the ring and begin a promo when they are interrupted by Ric Flair and Jeff Jarrett, who challenge them to a match in the main event. (85) Lance Storm and Mike Awesome interrupt them and say why not make it a three-way tag main event so everyone can see the world’s greatest tag team. (70)

--Rob Van Dam def. Mike Sanders in 11:06 by pinfall with a Five Star Splash. (72) After the match, RVD hypes his tag team with Rey Mysterio at the T2 Cup. (68)

--Scott Steiner is backstage in his locker room with Rick Steiner. Scott is doing pushups with one hand as Rick is reading through a college football magazine and asking Scott about Michigan football. (75)

--Billy Kidman and Shane Helms def. Chavo Guerrero Jr and Elix Skipper in 9:33 by pinfall following a Shooting Star Press by Kidman on Skipper. (75) After the match, Chavo takes a mic and says he could take on both Kidman and Helms, to which both Kidman and Helms go back to the ring and start beating down Chavo. (64)

--The Total Package and Shane Douglas are backstage with Mean Gene as they hype their quarterfinal match at the T2 versus Kevin Nash and Sean O’Haire. Luger says Commissioner Bret Hart purposely did that to get them out of the tournament quickly. (63) Luger goes on to say that O’Haire may not make it to Wednesday after he racks him in their match in a few minutes. (70)

--Sean O’Haire and The Total Package fought to a double stoppage when referee Charles Robinson lost control after Kevin Nash and Shane Douglas hit the ring and all four men were brawling. (71)

--A backstage camera catches Sting being attacked in a four-on-one assault by Storm, Awesome, Flair, and Jarrett. Just as Awesome readies Sting for an Awesome Bomb through a table, DDP comes running in with a baseball bat and fights the attackers off. (76)

--Booker T def. Shawn Stasiak in 12:25 by pinfall with a Harlem Hangover. (77) I get a note from Dusty Rhodes that Booker T kindly used his superior skills to make Stasiak look particularly strong and the match was better as a result. I’ve never had that road agent message before.

--Bret Hart comes down to the ring and takes a mic, hyping the T2 Cup in Las Vegas at the Thomas and Mack Center on Wednesday night. Bret emphasizes that the winners will have their choice of challenging, at any time, for the tag team titles or as individuals challenging for any singles title. (82) As an aside, Bret says that Jeff Jarrett should be defending his United States title and not staying with Ric Flair in tag teams so Double J will defend his belt next Monday on Nitro. (81)

WCW World TV Title Match
--Kanyon def. Konnan in 11:30 by countout when both men were brawling on the floor and Kanyon beat the 10 count. (81) After the match, Konnan is angry outside the ring as Kanyon taunts him inside the ring. (72) Kanyon makes his 4th defense of the TV Title.

--Goldberg comes down to the ring for a promo. He hypes his dominance in WCW since the Great American Bash and guarantees he will be world champion by 2002. (86)

--Team Canada, DDP & Sting, and Jeff Jarrett & Ric Flair fought to a no contest in 19:45 when all six left the ring and brawled up the aisle. (89) Soon, all of the competitors in the T2 Cup came out and began brawling in the ring and around ringside, creating a somewhat chaotic scene as the show ends. (82)
