Meeting in the ring with Triple H and Shawn Michaels, the group of Superstars celebrated together, revealing that faces and heels were friends backstage.

The fallout from this was immediate. Neither Nash or Hall could be punished, as they were out of the company.

Similarly, Shawn Michaels was untouchable as WWF Champion, leaving Triple H to shoulder the blame.

Fearing the worst, The Game bluntly asked whether his career was over, and whilst this obviously wasn't the case, he did pay a hefty price.

The rumor goes that he was even scheduled to win that year's King of the Ring, but after the MSG incident, was replaced by Steve Austin.

At the event, Austin won the tournament, cut his famous Austin 3:16 promo, and the rest was history.
