Triple H & Stephanie Interview
Triple H hypes up his match at WrestleMania, by saying he will walk out on top, although he is going against the top 3 men in the sport (he, being the 4th). He talks more garbage, and Vince comes down. Vince comes down and says Triple H is full of himself. He says he knows Triple H will probably cause a DQ, to hang onto his title, so Vince officially makes it a no DQ/no count out match. Triple H says that it won't shake his confidence, and he will still win. He says he is the man. Mick Foley then comes down and says that he is going to take Triple H's WWF Championship. He says he wants that, and nothing more, but he can beat Triple H and get the title at the same time. He says at WrestleMania, he will give it 110%, because he doesn't have to work the next day, but Triple H does. He says even if he ends up in the hospital, just as long as he has Triple H's title. He says it will be a long, long time before fans see him again, and it has been an honor coming into our living rooms. Mick says WrestleMania will be one hell of a match.

Chris Jericho vs. Eddie Guerrero
Jericho got the Walls of Jericho locked, and Benoit interfered for a DQ. Kurt Angle then came back out and layed Jericho and Benoit out with his finisher. Winner­Chris Jericho via DQ. Chyna came into the ring to get her hands on Guerrero, but he ran away.

Road Dogg and X-Pac vs. Edge and Christian
Both teams switch control back and forth. The match takes a turn when Road Dogg attempts the Pump Handle Slam on Edge, but he reverses it. The Hardys are doing commentary for the match, and when the referee gets knocked down, Matt nails Edge with Senton Bomb, and Road Dogg covers him for the victory. Winners­Road Dogg and X-Pac After the match, Mick Foley is seen talking with The Rock in the back. He says WrestleMania is his last match, and he will help The Rock. Rock says he doesn't want his help.

Crash Holly (WWF Hardcore Champion)vs. Tazz
Match begins and quickly moves outside. Within 5 minutes, Viscera, Mosh, and Thrasher join the fight. They all beat on Crash, and they head into the back where the production trucks are. Crash eventually finds a way to escape.

Meanwhile, back in the arena, the latest G-TV is airing. The Kat comes into Val Venis' room and says she would do anything to sway his decision at WrestleMania. She then lays down on his bed and G-TV blanks out right as Val straddles her on his bed.

Stephanie McMahon vs. Jacqueline (Women's Title)
Triple H had his plan going, as the rest of D-Generation X made their way out. Stephanie would not get in the ring. Jackie chased her around, until she was tripped by X-Pac and then DDT'd by Tori, at which point Stephanie made the easy pinfall for the win. Winner­Stephanie McMahon (New Women's Champion!) After the match, DX all celebrated, until the pyro exploded. Out came Kane and Rikishi Phatu, followed with just about everyone involved in WrestleMania. A huge battle royal-like brawl broke out in the ring with Kane, Rikishi, RoadDogg, X-Pac, The Dudley Boyz, The Hardy Boyz, Edge, Christian, The Radicals, Chris Jericho, Hardcore Holly, Kurt Angle, Too Cool, Kaientai, The Mean Street Posse, Crash Holly, Tazz, The Big Bossman, Bull Buchanan, The Acolytes, The Godfather, D-Lo Brown, Steve Blackman, Al Snow, T & A, Viscera, The Big Show, and Shane McMahon. This brawl went on for a good four or five minutes. The crowd continued to chant for The Rock. He finally did come out. He and Big Show cleaned house (not together, separately). Scotty Too Hotty received the Rock Bottom twice. Mick Foley ran out with his barbed-wire 2x4. The Rock and Foley were left standing, although The Rock didn't really appreciate the help. Stephanie and Triple H, who had left the ringside area once the brawl broke out, posed by the entrance way with their belts up in the air.
