Middle Card Promo

WCW's Sting '99 comes out and reveals that the recent rivalry between WWE and WCW didn't stem from invasions but rather from a working agreement. It's no secret that WCW is owned by the WWE but operated as a separate brand. WWE wanted to see what WCW could truly do and WCW wanted to prove that they're not only equal but superior to the WWE. So what the fans have been seeing aren't invasions but rather a highly competitive talent exchange.

Sting then talks about Stone Cold Steve Austin and says that he couldn't be happier about locking up with Stone Cold. “The Texas Rattlesnake” is arguably the WWE's biggest star of all time and the Stinger wants to see everybody's reaction when WCW's Sting beats the face of an era of the WWE.

Show Closer Promo

WWE Champion Shawn Michaels comes out to the ring and addresses what the #1 contender for the WWE Championship, Eddie Guerrero, said this past Monday night on RAW IS WAR. He arrogantly talks about how it doesn't matter how talented Eddie is because he will always be out-shined by “The Heartbreak Kid”. This time Guerrero ultimately defeats HBK in the promo battle, evening things up from last week's promo battle.
