It is announced that their will be a Royal Rumble type match at the Great American Bash. Benoit will defend against Hart, Goldberg, and Booker T at the pay-per-view. Four corners elimination match with Texas Tornado rules. The Royal Rumble will feature thirty competitors. The notables are DDP, Eddy Guerrero (those two have their own match also), Raven, Sting, and in a surprise moment, Kevin Nash. Benoit jobs the title to Hart at the Bash, Eddy Guerrero beats DDP, and in the Rumble the match comes down to those five men. DDP and Eddy knock each other out, and Raven starts beating on Sting. Nash powerbombs Raven out of the ring and looks at Sting. Kevin Nash steps over the top rope and Sting has his title shot. Bret-Sting II will go down at Bash at the Beach. Raven-Nash is set for BATB, as well as Eddy-DDP in a cage. The Nitro will feature Sting jobbing to Benoit. Instead of losing his title shot, a coin is flipped. The WCW title will be defended twice: Benoit will get the first title shot, and Sting will wrestle Goldberg.

Bash at the Beach. Sting defeats Goldberg when Nash interferes on his behalf. Benoit defeats Hart when Goldberg hits Hart with a reverse jackhammer, a suplex into powerbomb. We call it reverse for the glamour aspect. Raven defeats Nash cleanly, and then in the main event of the evening, after Eddy-DDP's bloody brawl steals the show, will be Benoit-Sting for the strap. Sting beats Benoit to win the World Title. on Nitro Goldberg says he's going to run down the list and run the gauntlet tonight. He wants Nash, he wants Benoit, he wants Hart and he wants Sting. Goldberg beats Nash, beats Benoit, gets beat by Hart, and finally defeats Sting for the World Title. Goldberg holds the strap until Road Wild, where he will face Sting again. Also: Hart-Benoit, Raven- Booker T-Eddy for a title shot and Nash refs the main.

The enigma that is Road Wild. Hart wants Benoit and that goes down in wild fashion as Bret's leg gets “crippled” and so he can't apply the Sharpshooter, failing twice. Finally he puts on the Texas cloverleaf and Benoit spends a minute or so in a bloody rage before he taps. DDP interferes to give Raven the win in the title shot match, and Sting regains the belt from Goldberg when Nash powerbombs Goldberg. On Nitro Sting challenges Nash and Goldberg and Raven to a match at Fall Brawl. He says they will do it inside the War Games. The War Games will be each man and a man he picks. Only those four men can make the pin to pick up a strap. Sting picks Hart, Goldberg refuses to pick a man, Nash picks DDP and Raven picks Benoit. This should all play out in the weeks leading up to Fall Brawl.

Fall Brawl. Booker T and Eddy battle each other in the semi-main as Sting pins Raven to defend the strap in the greatest War Games of all time. Raven blames Benoit for the loss and takes it out on him afterwards, DDTing him on top of the cage. Benoit returns the favor by suplexing Raven down through the cage. On Nitro Sting-Raven goes down and Raven beat shim to win his first WCW World Title with Hart and Benoit's help. Benoit, Raven, and Hart reform the Triple Threat. Sting challenges both Raven and Hart for the title at Halloween Havoc, while a Spin the Wheel Make A Deal match between Goldberg and Nash results into a Last Man Standing Match.

Finally, at Havoc Goldberg performs the dangerous reverse jackhammer and then powerbombs Nash to win the match. Sting beats Raven and Hart for the title while Booker-T earns a world title shot by beating Eddy and DDP. And Sting enters the next calendar year with the WCW World Title, a year that will see Booker T become champion and Raven almost kill him.
