Survivor Series (1999) - Aftermath

Aftermath

After The Big Show won the WWF Championship at Survivor Series, he continued his rivalry with The Big Boss Man. The next night on Raw is War, Boss Man defeated The Rock in a Hardcore match, with help from Prince Albert, to become the number one contender for the WWF Championship. At the new December pay-per-view, Armageddon, The Big Show defeated Boss Man to retain the title.

Since Stone Cold Steve Austin was hit with a car, the WWF Chairman Vince McMahon continuously blamed Triple H and D-Generation X for the attack. On the November 18 episode of SmackDown, DX assaulted McMahon's Corporate Stooges (Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco). Sgt. Slaughter informed McMahon of the attack and told McMahon that Triple H had invited him to DX locker room. McMahon went to the locker room, where Triple H warned McMahon, not to make this personal. Later in the night, Triple H came down to the ring and blamed McMahon for his title loss at Survivor Series and then challenged McMahon to a match at Armageddon. Shortly after, a footage was shown of backstage where the McMahon family had fallen down the stairs. On the November 22 episode of Raw is War, Vince destroyed a limousine carrying DX using his car. Although DX retreated, the limousine was destroyed. Later that night, the police officers arrested Vince for assaulting DX, and Triple H attacked him while he was handcuffed. Later that night, Triple H came down to the ring and accused Vince of attacking Austin at Survivor Series, but Shane McMahon interrupted to defend his father and informed Triple H that Vince would accept Triple H's challenge at Armageddon. On the November 29 episode of Raw is War, a storyline wedding was scheduled to occur between Vince's daughter Stephanie McMahon and Test. The ceremony was interrupted by Triple H, who showed a video in which he and a drunk Stephanie had gotten married. On the December 2 episode of SmackDown, Triple H announced that his match against Vince at Armagaddon would be a No Holds Barred match, and on the following episode of Raw is War a further stipulation was added to the match. If Vince won the match, Triple H and Stephanie's marriage would be annulled but if Triple H won, he would be granted a WWF Championship match. At Armageddon, Triple H defeated Vince in a No Holds Barred match, after Stephanie betrayed Vince and helped Triple H in finishing Vince with a sledgehammer. It was later revealed that Rikishi had run over Austin.
