Trish Stratus defeated Francine to earn a shot at Jazz's Women's Championship at Vengeance.

The Rock challenged Goldberg for the WCW World Title in an impromptu match. Rock pinned Goldberg to win the belt.

Shane McMahon announced that Rock will have to defend the title on Smackdown in a Fatal four-way bout.

Vince McMahon emerged and stated that he wanted to raise the stakes and suggested that the winner of the WCW World Championship bout should defend the title against a member of the opposition's team and the winner of tonight's WWF Championship bout would do the same.

The winners of both matches would then fight each other in a Unification match-up in the main event of Vengeance. Shane accepted the terms.

In the main event, Stone Cold finally resurfaced and challenged Chris Jericho for the WWF title. Austin hit the stunner and had the title won until the nWO battered the WWF officials at ringside, including the timekeeper and referee.

With no one to call the match, the bout was a No Contest. With that, team WWF stormed the ringside area and surrounded the nWO. Stone Cold gave the group the double finger salute and left laughing.

The nWO still hadn't caught up with Austin!

Smackdown - December 6, 2001

Shane McMahon introduced a returning Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman to the ring. All three stated that they cannot wait for the nWO to take out Stone Cold and announced that Sting had been chosen to fight The Rock for the WCW Championship tonight.

Goldberg angrily confronted Shane, Bischoff and Heyman backstage querying why he had not received a re-match.

They advised they needed him to take out Kurt Angle instead. Goldberg was nonplussed and advised that he would take Angle out and become World Champion no matter if the Champion is Team WWF or Team Alliance.

Kurt Angle lost to Raven after Goldberg interfered and speared him.

The main event saw Undertaker and Kane fight Scott Steiner and DDP to a No Contest when the nWO interfered. Rob Van Dam ran in to make the save for Team WWF.

Bischoff and Heyman emerged and announced that Van Dam would defend the Hardcore Title versus Undertaker, Kane, Steiner, DDP and the returning Booker T at Vengeance.
