Tyson was suspended at the time for biting off a part of Evander Holyfield’s ear during a match and people genuine thought Tyson was off his rocker.
On the January 19, 1998 edition of Raw, Mr. McMahon and Tyson were in the ring with Tyson’s entourage when Austin’s music hit. Austin interrupted to tell Tyson that he was sick of the attention he was getting and that Tyson was in Austin’s world now. Austin and Tyson squared off against each other as Vince’s face turned red at Austin interrupting such a significant moment.
