During the 1999 Royal Rumble, the CEO of the WWF Vince McMahon was in a heated rivalry against the winner of the past two Royal Rumbles, Stone Cold Steve Austin. In order to screw Austin's chances of winning a 3rd straight Royal Rumble, Vince fixed the draw so that Austin would be the first entry, put a $100,000 bounty on Austin's head for the superstar that eliminated the Texas Rattlesnake. However, due to Vince's meddling Smackdown commissioner Shawn Michaels put Vince in the Rumble as the second entry.

Vince would quickly escape the ring while Austin was distracted, and tried to escape Austin's clutches by running through the arena. Unfortunately for Austin, McMahon was able to run Austin into a trap and he was ambushed by members of the Corporation stable. McMahon returned to ringside to commentate the match while the main screen showed the vision of Austin being loaded into an ambulance.

Austin would return later in the rumble and clean house, taking out many of the other superstars in the ring. However, when it was just Austin and McMahon left, The WWF champion, The Rock would come down to the ring and distracted Austin, allowing McMahon to make his sole Royal Rumble elimination to win the entire event.
