Another triumph of long-term storytelling, Savage's screwing Warrior out of the WWF title led to this match with both men's careers on the line on the grandest stage. Miss Elizabeth's presence in the audience signaled early on the kind of match this would be since she and Savage still hadn't healed their rift from the time of WrestleMania 5.

The constants in this match were the power of Warrior and the interference of Sensational Sherri, who combined her wits with Savage to overcome the disadvantage in strength. When Warrior kicked out of five elbow drops, it was clear Savage couldn't win on his own.

Savage wouldn't go down easily though, as he kicked out of Warrior's finisher. Warrior's tease of walking away afterward saw fans hold their breath and implore him not to.

Warrior would come back, beat the crap out of Savage, and pin him with his foot. That wasn't the end, though. Sensational Sherri, enraged, attacked the fallen Savage for losing. Elizabeth ran to the ring to stop it, and a tense few minutes later, she and Savage, now a face again, reunited at last. Many of those in the audience were moved to tears.
