Earlier in the night, Mick Foley had told Triple H that the Radicalz [Perry Saturn, Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, and Chris Benoit] were banned from ringside and that the match was no disqualification's. Triple H told them that if they think that Rikishi did a number on The Rock, how would Austin like to leave Tampa without the use of his legs.
The match began with the Game, the Cerebral Assassin Triple H coming to the ring, minus his wife Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley, who apparently had a "bad case of the flu." Next out is the Texas Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin takes control early on. Austin had this match won on a few occasions. Triple H never had a chance in this match some people said. He had the Radicalz [mostly Chris Benoit] help him. He was scared. Triple H took an advantage when they went into the back. They went outside to the parking lot where Triple H was in his car. Austin picked his car up onto the forklift and dropped him 40 feet. And Triple H came out with cuts and bruises.
