Match

Rhino had the advantage, and he was setting up for the gore when Ace Austin leaped out of the ring to keep away. Rhino followed him to the outside and suplexed him and slammed him into the barricade. Austin shoved Rhino face first into the post before hopping back in the ring and imploring the official to begin the count.

Back in the ring, Austin hit a sprinboard kick for a near fall. Rhino hit the mini gore in the corner, but Austin followed up with a hip attack. Ace Austin hit Rhino with a cane and then the fold for the pinfall victory.
