During the 1998 Royal Rumble which was eventually won by Stone Cold Steve Austin, multiple storylines were being set up for WrestleMania and the initial brawl between Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie. Owen Hart was originally attacked on his way to the ring by Jeff Jarrett and after finally recovering and entering into the match, was progressing well until Triple H and Chyna came down the ramp after Honkey Tonk Man's music hit. Waiting for their chance, they ambushed Owen Hart as he tried to push Goldust out of the ring with a crutch over the head and eliminated him.

Given Triple H had been a very visible part of the Montreal Screwjob a few months earlier, it made for great storytelling between the two and allowed for Triple H's European Championship to be defended at WrestleMania XIV.
