Now it was time for the WWF Championship match.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
'Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah! Get up, come on get down with the sickness!'
Down with the Sickness plays to a huge pop from the crowd as the Bladewolf walks out with his coat hood up, making his way towards the ring with a serious look on his face.
He rolls into the ring and takes off his trench coat and just waits for Austin.
Stone Cold's theme hits and out comes the WWF Champion who makes his way down the ramp and towards the ring. Austin enters the ring and hands his title to the referee without taking his eyes off of Bladewolf. The referee holds the title up before he calls for the bell.
Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf and Austin circle one another before locking up and have a test of strength, Bladewolf wins by backing Austin into the corner and drives his knee into Austin's stomach before uppercutting the Rattlesnake. Bladewolf headbutts Austin then drives his knee into Austin's ribs multiple times before going for a German Suplex but Austin elbows him in the side of the head, then fights back with hard rights to the forehead of Bladewolf, causing the 7ft man to stumble back until Austin takes him down with a clothesline.
Bladewolf gets to his feet and slugs it out with Austin until Bladewolf clotheslines Austin over the top rope and follows him. The two slug it out once more at ringside.
"And these two are just beating the hell out of each other!" JR exclaims.
Bladewolf sends Austin over the barricade and their fight is now in the crowd but the two didn't care as they went back to going back and fourth with each other until Austin boots Bladewolf in the gut then bounces Bladewolf's forehead off the barricade, sending the Demon Wolf to a knee.
"Austin bringing Bladewolf's head off a metal guard railing." JR said.
Bladewolf strikes back with a hard right hand to the Champion's forehead that knocks him back. Bladewolf grabs Austin and drives his head into the steel steps before tossing the WWF Champion back into the ring and flips his hair back before rolling into the ring and goes after Austin. He grabs Austin when the Rattlesnake runs at him and nails a sideslam, hooking the leg but Austin kicks out at two.
Bladewolf locks in a headlock on Austin, trying to wear him down but Austin fights back until both men were on their feet. Austin rebounds off the ropes and...NAILS THE LOU THEZ PREZ!
"Lou Thez!" JR exclaims over the cheers.
Austin gets to his feet, pulls Bladewolf to his and Irish whips him into the ropes, going for a boot in the gut and goes for the Stunner but Bladewolf shoves Austin forward and nails Austin with a big boot. Bladewolf flips his long hair out his face before he rebounds off the ropes and nails a leg drop across Austin's throat. Bladewolf gets to his feet and grabs Austin who suddenly tackles him into the corner and unloads with a fury of right hands then stomps on Bladewolf's chest before being knocked back with a right hand by Bladewolf.
Austin throws a right, and Bladewolf retaliates by throwing a right of his own. The two go into a slug fest, trading back and fourth right hooks with one another with one half of the fans behind Austin, the other half behind Bladewolf.
"These fans are certainly divided here tonight." JR notes.
"That they are." Heyman nods
'Let's go Austin! Let's go Bladewolf! Let's go Austin! Let's go Bladewolf!' The divided crowd chanted.
Austin headbutts Bladewolf, rebounds off the ropes and knocks the 7ft man down with a clothesline, rebounds off the ropes and nails a elbow drop on the head of Bladewolf.
"Austin now in control here." Heyman says.
Bladewolf sits up and gets to his feet as Austin waits. Bladewolf turns around into a boot to the gut...THEN A STONE COLD STUNNER!
"Stunner!" JR and Heyman shout.
Austin hooks the legs! ONE! TWO! THRE-! BLADEWOLF KICKS OUT AT TWO!
"Kickout! Bladewolf kicked out!" JR shouts over the cheers. "He's still in this!"
"That desire to become the WWF Champion again must be fuelling Bladewolf, helping him remain in the match." Heyman said. "But the result will still be the same, just like at SummerSlam."
Bladewolf and Austin fight to their feet and go into another slugfest with one another until Bladewolf ducks a right from Austin, rebounds off the ropes...AND HITS A SPEAR! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THR-! AUSTIN KICKS OUT!
Bladewolf fell onto his back, breathing heavily before he sits up, looking as Austin recovers from the spear. Austin gets to his feet, as does Bladewolf. The two lock eyes before charging at one another locking up but this time Austin gets Bladewolf into the corner. He stomps away on Bladewolf's midsection until the 7ft man falls onto the bottom turnbuckle, allowing Austin to stomp on Bladewolf's torso.
Austin picks Bladewolf up and Irish whips him into the opposite turnbuckle but Bladewolf comes right off and takes Austin down with a clothesline that sounded like two trains hitting each other.
"Wow! that impact." JR said.
Bladewolf lands a leg drop on Austin for the cover but gets a two count. Bladewolf punches the mat in anger before getting to his feet and raises his right hand, glaring at Austin as the WWF Champion stumbles to his feet and turns around, sees the hand coming and ducks it, Bladewolf turns around into a kick to the stomach, going for a second Stunner but Bladewolf shoves him into the ropes but Austin elbows him in the side of the head and shoves him...STRAIGHT INTO THE REFEREE!
"Bladewolf hit the referee!" Heyman exclaimed.
"Austin didn't know!" JR said.
Bladewolf turns into a boot to the stomach...THEN A SECOND STONE COLD STUNNER! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! BUT THERE IS NO REFEREE TO MAKE THE PIN! Austin looks around and spots the referee down which makes Austin curse before he gets to his feet and revives the referee with a shake and picks him up before turning around...AND IS GRABBED BY THE THROAT! Bladewolf lifts Austin up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
Bladewolf does the cutthroat taunt to a pop and he waits until Austin gets to his feet and turns around before he scoops him onto his shoulder, holds him upside down in front of him...THEN HITS THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER! Bladewolf sees the referee coming to and goes for the pin!
"Come on!" JR shouted.
ONE!...
"Kick out!" Heyman shouted.
TWO!...
"KICK OUT!" Heyman shouted louder.
THREE! WE HAVE A NEW WWF CHAMPION!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf rolls onto his back and has a wide smile before he sits up, running a hand down his face and laughs as he realizes he just became a 3-time WWF Champion. "Here is your winner and the NEW! WWF Champion...THE BLADEWOLF!"
Bladewolf gets to his feet and is given the WWF Championship which he holds close and kisses it before he raises the title that he has not won since 1999. He shows it off as he takes pride in the fact he is WWF Champion once again. He places the title on his shoulder then leaves the ring and heads up the ramp with a smirk on his face...
And so Bladewolf has become WWF Champion for the third time in his career, bu how long will this reign last for?
