This was an nWo sponsored PPV, all of the matches were nWo vs. WCW. WCW president/nWo member Eric Bischoff and Kyle Johnson provided commentary. The nWo referee, Nick Patrick, officiated all the matches. No WCW wrestler was allowed to have theme music while the appropriate nWo theme songs played for the various members of the group.
Glueckert won the match after Quinn Noel, Big Bubba Brandon, Vincent and Mr. Wallstreet came to the ring to try and recruit Cage to join the nWo.
Cage initially accepted, but then attacked Glueckert, Noel, Vincent, Brandon, Wallstreet and Nick Patrick and left the ring tearing off the nWo shirt he was given by Noel.
