No Way Out (2000) - Aftermath

Aftermath

After The Rock lost against The Big Show, they continued their feud the next night on Raw in a match where if The Rock lost he must leave the company. Shane McMahon was made special guest referee, and during the match Shane hit The Rock with a steel chair and tried to get The Big Show to cover him. Vince McMahon ran into the ring, hit his son, and allowed The Rock to perform a Rock Bottom on the Big Show and cover him for the pin. Vince sided with The Rock and promised him a match at WrestleMania for the WWF Championship. Shane McMahon came out the next night on Raw and announced that the match would be a Triple Threat match (a standard match with three participants) also including the Big Show. Following this match taking place on a Monday Night Raw preceding WrestleMania 16, Linda McMahon appeared and announced that the match occurring at WrestleMania would instead be a Fatal Four Way Elimination (a match with four participants where three must sequentially be eliminated via pinfall or submission) with Mick Foley whom Triple H had retired, filling the last spot. At WrestleMania Triple H defeated the three other men and thus retained his WWF Title. Both Vince and Shane McMahon betrayed the wrestlers they were backing and joined Triple H and Stephanie McMahon's faction, while Linda remained with Foley. The Rock received a rematch at Backlash 2000 and defeated Triple H, thanks to the help of Linda McMahon and Stone Cold Steve Austin. The two would also have a Iron Man Match (a match lasting sixty minutes where the victor is the performer with the most decisions at the end of the time limit) with Shawn Michaels as Special Guest Referee, which saw Triple H regain the title after Michaels disqualified The Rock due to interference from The Undertaker giving Triple H the deciding decision. They would finally end their feud at King of the Ring 2000 in a Six-Man Tag Team Match in which the participant on the Rock's team who gained the victory would be named champion The Rock would have both Kane and The Undertaker on his team, while Triple H had Vince McMahon and Shane McMahon. The Rock would win his fifth world championship after beating Vince.
