It was a night of title changes as the WWF earned a measure of revenge on WCW with The Rock winning the WCW title from Booker T and The Undertaker and Kane winning the WCW Tag Team Championships.

Chris Jericho inflicted a blow on ECW by winning the ECW World title from Rhyno, one that had eluded him when he wrestled for the promotion in the 1990s.

However, Kurt Angle failed in his quest to become WWF Champion when Goldberg debuted and interfered, spearing Angle behind the referee's back to hand the win to Stone Cold.

Post-match Stone Cold and Goldberg have a stare down.

Commentator, Jim Ross speculated whether Goldberg's appearance could lead to dissension for Team WCW as the show went off the air.
