Raw opening video package featuring The Superstars of the WWF: Bret Hart, Diesel,The Undertaker, “Macho Man” Randy Savage, Razor Ramon and Shawn Michaels (79)Ted DiBiase’s music hits and he introduces the world to HIS Undertaker. No matter what Paul Bearer thought, everybody has a price for The Million Dollar Man! (76)
When we come back from a commercial break, Jeff Jarrett is in the ring. He grabs a microphone and introduces himself as the greatest country singer of all time! Just as he's conquered Nashville, he's going to the WWF! (63)
His spiel is interrupted by the arrival of his opponent, former WWF Champion, Bob Backlund. As Backlund makes his way down the aisle, Randy Savage remarks "You know something Jim Ross, I really hope that Bob Backlund teaches this guy a lesson, yeah. I have have been Nashville, and I'll tell you right now, yeah, that no one knows Jeff Jarrett. Let's hope the former champ puts him in his place." It becomes a classic battle of youth and energy versus wily experience. Every time it seems that things trend in favor of the elder statesman Backlund, the arrogant Double J pulls a cheap trick to gain the advantage and cocky Jarret struts across the ring. Eventually, the self-proclaimed "greatest country singer of all time" puts Backlund away following a Running DDT. (74)
Up next, a video compilation from Raw and Superstars last week plays highlighting the recent history involving Razor Ramon, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, and Tatanka. (73)
In a Wrestlemania 9 rematch, Shawn Michaels, with Diesel in his corner, takes on the Native American Warrior Tatanka. Tatanka was looking for revenge against the Heartbreak Kid following his involvement in his Intercontinental Title match last week, but it was not meant to be as the numbers game eventually cost Tatanka a match for the second time in as many weeks. Shawn Michaels defeated Tatanka following a distraction from Diesel. (67--another opponent that Tatanka had trouble clicking with...)
Following the match, Shawn Michaels and Diesel grabbed a microphone and immediately began responding to Razor Ramon. The big Diesel remarked "Razor, you want to tell us that you're coming from us on Superstars last week? I think you need to hit the history books, chico. I beat you for the Intercontintal Championship. The fact is, you're not in our league!" (80)
WWF Champion, Bret "The Hitman" Hart is introduced as he joins the commentary team for tonight's main event. He makes his way down the aisle slapping hands with fans before giving his sunglasses to a lucky youngster in the first row.(79)
With Ted DiBiase coaching from the floor, it isn't long before the man with tattoos on his head reverses the tide and begins building heat in the Rosemont Horizon.
Just as it seems that Bam Bam firmly has the match in hand of the Million Dollar Corporation, Lex Luger bursts out the corner with a giant forearm smash knocking the big man off his feet! The Illinois faithful get to their feet as they cheer on the All-American fan favorite. Luger, with all the momentum on his side, begins calling for the torture rack when....
...seemingly out of nowhere, The King of Harts, Owen Hart, and his brother-in-law, Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart, hit the ring with steel chairs. Quickly, Owen and Neidhart lay out both Luger and Bam Bam Bigelow causing the referee to throw the match out! (78)
Bret Hart, having seen enough from the commentary table, jumps into the ring to chase off Owen and Neidhart. As Owen and Neidhart retreat back down the aisle way, Owen is shouting out "This is all your fault Bret! This is all your fault! Give me a title shot Bret Be the man that you say you are!" (69)

"And make no mistake about it...what I did to Lex Luger and Bam Bam Bigelow on Raw is all my brother's fault! Bret, step up and face me like the champion you say you are!" (79)
Johnny Polo joins the commentary team for this one, and eventually makes the difference. Owen Hart defeats Jacques Rougeau after Johnny Polo's distraction of Jacques Rougeau. (72)
The Kings Court is up next and features Yokozuna and Mr. Fuji. Fuji says that his Yokozuna is the best! He destroyed Undertaker at the Royal Rumble! It should be Yokozuna vs. Bret Hart next week for the WWF Championship! He defeated Lex Luger at Summerslam last year! So, to prove that his Yokozuna is the best, he issues open challenge for Raw next week: he will face anyone! Bring on Razor Ramon, 123 Kid, Undertaker, Lex Luger, Bret Hart... It makes no difference!
