The main event started, and The Rock and Austin had a classic attitude era brawl. The match went back and forth, and Austin was on the verge of winning when Shane refused to count the pin.

At that moment Vince came out and knocked out his son, and brought another referee to make the count. Austin won and Vince handed the belt to Austin.

As the match ended, the cameras showed Stephanie being abducted by the Undertaker, who was disguised as the driver of the limousine, while Vince was still inside the arena.

This moment was made more memorable when Vince declared that he was behind it all, in the worst anti-climatic endings to a storyline. Well, that is wrestling for you.
