The main event was a No Disqualification match between Steve Austin and The Rock for the WWF Championship. During the match, Austin turned heel after he told Vince McMahon, a man that he had called his nemesis, to give him a chair. Austin hit The Rock with sixteen chair shots, which lead to Austin pinning The Rock and becoming the new WWF Champion. The PPV ended with Austin and McMahon shaking hands and sharing beers.[5]

The main matches on the undercard featured Triple H vs. The Undertaker, the second TLC match for the WWF Tag Team Championship, and Vince McMahon versus Shane McMahon in a Street Fight.
