The British Bulldog and Lex Luger vs. the Blu Brothers
The British Bulldog and Lex Luger are headed to the ring and they are set for tag team action against Eli and Jacob Blu of the Blu Brothers. Jacob and Eli are undefeated in the WWE, and they may have an experience advantage over the Bulldog and Luger, because they've been teaming up much longer than the Bulldog and Luger. As the match starts, Vince calls the Bulldog and Luger "Allied Powers", could that be their team name? The Bulldog shows tremendous strength in the early goings by giving one of the Blu Brothers a delayed suplex. The two teams battle back and forth and Jacob and Eli do their best to cheat, by having the illegal man in the ring anytime they want, because they are twins. The British Bulldog gives one of the Blu Brothers a sunset flip from the top rope while he was trying to pile drive Luger. Jim Ross is standing by and he is with Uncle Zebikiah and the Blu Brothers. Zebikiah says that they pinned the wrong guy!
Winners - the British Bulldog and Lex Luger

Razor Ramon storms to the ring quickly to start off the contest, and you damn well know that he wants his Championship belt back. Ramon goes for the Razor's Edge early in the match, and the Roadie yanked Double J out of the hold. As soon as Double J gets to the outside of the ring, he starts to leave the ringside area, but the 123 Kid is there to stop him. Jeff Jarrett works on the legs of Razor Ramon, and he eventually gets the figure four leg lock on Ramon. Razor does his best to hang on as The Roadie pulls on Double J's arms to give him more leverage. Razor Ramon gets Jeff Jarrett up in the Razor's Edge position once again, but the Roadie gets into the ring and hits Razor giving him a disqualification win. After the match, the 123 Kid gets in the ring and hammers away on the Roadie. Jeff Jarrett eventually attacks the 123 Kid from behind and then puts the figure four leg lock on him as The Roadie hammers away on the 123 Kid's head. Jim Ross catches up with Jeff and Jeff says that Razor Ramon isn't nothing, and the Kid isn't anything either. Jim says that what Double J did is unprofessional conduct, and he should be ashamed of himself.
