WWF Unforgiven: In Your House was live at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in Greensboro, North event began with a six-man tag team match, pitting The Nation against the team of Faarooq, Ken Shamrock, and Steve Blackman. D'Lo Brown began the match with a snap suplex on Blackman, but a reversal allowed Blackman to take control and soon things heated up when Faarooq was tagged in, scoop slamming Brown and then untying his belt to whip Brown with it, while The Rock complained to the referee preventing him from seeing the illegal weapon. The Nation then took control between the slow, heavy style of Mark Henry, the quick pace of The Rock, and Brown's high-flying maneuvers to dominate Blackman, with The Rock eventually landing the People's Elbow. The match would then turn after Brown missed a moonsault, allowing for Blackman to tag in Faarooq, taking down the newly tagged Rock and an interfering Henry, when all six men came in the ring. The non-legal men soon brawled out of the ring leaving the legal men to complete the match after Faarooq reversed a DDT attempt into his Dominator to win the match.

Immediately following the opening match, Stone Cold Steve Austin came to the ring, bringing the official timekeeper with him. Austin preceding to threaten the timekeeper, telling him to call the match right down the middle, regardless of what Vince McMahon's orders to him were.

Before the European Title match, a cage was lowered from the ceiling, the stipulation dictating that Chyna was to be locked inside of it to prevent any interference. After both competitors came to the ring, Commissioner Sgt. Slaughter came to ringside to oversee Chyna being caged. Once she was locked in, with Triple H still paying attention to her, Owen Hart attacked Triple H from behind and fought him up the ramp and back down, throwing him into the cage and then suplexing him on the walkway, taunting him with an ironic crotch chop before rolling him into the ring for the match to be officially started. The two were not in the ring long though, as Hart immediately clotheslined the champion out again, and watched Chyna's cage ascend. Triple H eventually managed to fight back after much dominance from Hart, using a flying knee while Hart was running towards him. Helmsley then slowed the match down after a suplex with an inverted backbreaking sleeper hold and, despite some fight back from Hart, Triple H mostly managed to keep subdue him with a variety of holds. Hart reversed the second time Helmsley applied the backbreaker sleeper by bridging into a standing position, and then performing a backflip to allow a belly to back suplex. It was at this point that Chyna's attempts to break free from the cage, that had been going on all match, came to fruition with the steel bars bending under her hold. While Hart continued to throw Triple H around, Chyna gradually climbed out of the cage, but was too far to drop down. The cage suddenly lowered, as Road Dogg was revealed to be manning the controls, allowing Chyna to drop off and jump to the apron. This distraction caused Hart to let go of the Sharpshooter on Helmsley in order to push her to the ground. Slaughter then appeared with a number of referees to dispatch Chyna; because of this, however, there was no one to count the pinfall when Hart executed his opponent's own finisher, The Pedigree. In the middle of all the chaos, X-Pac stormed the ring, attacking Hart with a fire extinguisher, allowing Triple H to steal the win and retain the title.

An unscheduled NWA match between The New Midnight Express and The Rock 'n' Roll Express began with Robert Gibson circling Bodacious Bart and after some grapple take downs, both teams changed partners. Ricky Morton ducked under a kick from Bombastic Bob, with Bob accidentally striking Bart. The same thing would happen again with Morton hung on the ropes, Gibson was pulled into the ring and Bob Irish whipped him into Morton, only for it to be reversed and Morton to step away, allowing Bob to run into Bart and push him off the ring apron. Despite some in-fighting, the match soon continued with an abdominal stretch on Morton being aided with Bart holding onto Bob's hand. As the referee saw it, Jim Cornette came into the ring to complain to referee Tim White at which point a fight almost broke out between the two, the wrestlers breaking them apart. After both Midnight members dominated Morton, Gibson's tag managed to turn things around with the Rock 'n' Roll Express performing a simultaneous turnbuckle ten-punch and Irish whipping the Midnighters into each other. The pin count was almost broken up by Jim Cornette, but Gibson released the pin and Cornette bodysplashed Bob. It amounted to little though, as Bart quickly ran into a bulldog on Gibson and pinned him before Morton could break up the fall.

The first ever WWF evening gown match started with both women pulling at each other's clothes and hair, Sable ripping off Luna Vachon's two gloves before taking a kick to the stomach and a choke in the corner. As the referee tried to drag Vachon away from the corner, she grabbed onto Sable and unwittingly pulled off her skirt. Having been pulled apart, Sable speared Vachon and began to punch her on the ground and into the turnbuckle. Marc Mero, who had refused to stand in Sable's corner out of embarrassment, appeared to talk to his wife, but this distraction allowed Vachon to yank Sable's top away from behind and win the match. Despite the match being over, Sable quickly assaulted Vachon and powerbombed her in the ring, before pulling off her gown as Vachon tried to escape. The pair continued their brawl, going underneath the ring for a short while until Sable reappeared and climbed back into the ring holding Vachon's underwear, leaving Dustin Rhodes to take her backstage wrapped in his ring coat.

The New Age Outlaws came out ostensibly accompanied by Dean Smith, which turned out to be merely a blow up doll. A large amount of ducking clotheslines prevented either competitor from taking an early advantage, with Animal also reversing a double-team move from both Outlaws. Animal then tagged in Hawk, who dominated both Road Dogg and then Billy Gunn through various slams and running strikes. The Outlaws began to control the match after Gunn struck Animal's leg as LOD 2000 tried to finish Road Dogg with a Doomsday Device. Animal's knee became a target as both Outlaws frequently tagged, keeping their opponent mostly on the ground and focusing moves on the knee. After a collision that saw both Road Dogg and Animal grounded, both wrestlers tagged in their respective partners and Hawk came in with a flurry of clotheslines. But, as he pinned Road Dogg from a top rope splash, the referee had to help Animal back to his corner. This allowed Gunn to attack Hawk with the title belt. Hawk kicked out though, and with the referee again distracted, Hawk was held up to be struck again with the belt but ducked, leaving Road Dogg to strike Gunn and as Road Dogg looked on in shock, Hawk used a German suplex pin. However, the Outlaws were announced as winners as the referee was actually counting Hawk, whose shoulders were also on the mat under Road Dogg's legs. Hawk then clotheslined the referee, and LOD attacked the referee with a Doomsday Device.

Tennessee Lee then appeared to introduce Sawyer Brown who performed 'backing vocals', to their song "Some Girls Do" with Jeff Jarrett. After the song finished, Steve Blackman jumped on the band stage and assaulted Jarrett; Lee saved his client with a guitar shot and Jarrett kept Blackman down with a figure four leg lock.

The first WWF Inferno Match then started with The Undertaker kicking Kane into the turnbuckle and dragging his hand to the flames but Kane turned things around and kicked The Undertaker into the turnbuckle. Undertaker quickly grabbed Kane's hand and threw him into the opposing turnbuckle, running into a diving crossbody before twisting Kane's hand and walking the top rope for Old School as the flames shot high. Kane soon fought The Undertaker to the mat, trying to push his face underneath the ropes into the flames, but Undertaker delivered a thumb to his opponent's weak eye. Paul Bearer then threw a chair to Kane which helped him knock Undertaker to the ground, but it did little good as he soon fought back when he was dragged by his hair near the flames. The two continued to fight back and forth, with no obvious dominant wrestler despite a chokeslam from both parties. Undertaker almost set himself on fire when Kane sidestepped a leaping flying clothesline and landed just short of the flames. Kane replied by going to the top rope, but the ropes were shaken underneath him, seeing him fall victim to a superplex. As the two recovered, Undertaker sidestepped a running attack and threw Kane over the top ropes, although he did not catch fire. Kane then began to leave the arena, but was prevented by the returning Vader, who fought Kane back towards the ring where both men were met with an over the top rope suicide dive by The Undertaker. All the while, Paul Bearer had grabbed a steel chair and was walking around to hand it to Kane, only for Undertaker to grab it and kick Bearer away, knocking Kane out with a chair shot. Undertaker then chased Bearer away up to the band stage and put his head through a bass drum, making him bleed. As Undertaker walked back down to the ring, he delivered a big boot, forcing Kane to fall backwards onto the ring, allowing his right arm to catch ablaze, giving Undertaker the win.

Next up was the main event for the WWF Championship.

Before the match, a video packge p;ayed showcasing the feud between the Bladewolf and Stone Cold Steve Austin, namely the buildup towards their match from Vince offering an alliance between him and Bladewolf, to Stone Cold challenging Bladewolf at Unforgiven for the WWF Title, to the 'new and improved' Austin which turned out to be a sham by Austin. Then Dude Love's involvement was shown, followed by the brawl the Bladewolf and Austin had last Monday night on RAW is WAR.

Once the promo ended, camera were live in the area as the bell is rung and Howard Finkel begins introductions. "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest, scheduled for one-fall, is for the World Wrestling Federation Championship!"

Glass shatters and Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme hits to a loud pop from the fans as the Texas Rattlesnake walks out and makes his way towards the ring. "Coming down the aisle is the challenger, from Victoria, Texas, weighing 252 lbs... STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!

Austin walks down the aisle, walks up the steel steps and enters the ring. He goes to all four corners of the ring to raise his arms, which the fans copy and cheer in response to. Austin gets down from the fourth corner and takes off his vest as his theme dies down, and he awaits the arrival of the WWF Champion.

OOOOOOOOWWWWHHHHOOOOOOO!

The Devil's Wolf played to a loud cheer from the fans as the lights switched to the sinister blood red and dark blue before the Bladewolf walked out with the WWF Championship around his waist. Bladewolf stood at the entrance and adjusted his right elbow pad before he makes his way towards the ring.

"And his opponent, from Death Valley, weighing 310 lbs, the World Wrestling Federation Champion... THE BLADEWOLF!" Howard Finkel announced to another loud cheer from the fans.

Austin is seen pacing in the ring as he watches the Champion approach.

The Bladewolf gets onto the ring apron and steps over the top rope, staring at Austin as he stands in the center of the ring. His theme dies down and the lights go to normal as Bladewolf takes off the WWF Championship from around his waist, handing it to the referee and goes to stand in the corner opposite Austin's.

The referee holds up the title, showing it's on the line, then hands it to someone at ringside before calling for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Austin comes out of the corner, as does the Bladewolf, and they circle each other. They engage in a collar-and-elbow tieup for a test of strength, with Bladewolf pulling Austin into the corner where he lands a few right hands but Austin suddenly ducks the fourth and reverses their positions. Now, he unloads with some right hands to the masked faced of the WWF Champion then aims some kicks to the chest of Bladewolf.

Austin pulls Bladewolf out of the corner, Irish whips him off the ropes and lands an elbow to the face when he comes back but Bladewolf only stumbles back against the ropes, to which Austin clotheslines him over the top rope. However, Bladewolf lands on his feet and grabs Austin's legs, pulling him out underneath the bottom rope, where the two start slugging it out with each other.

Bladewolf lands a punch to the gut, then rams Austin's head off the ring apron. Austin stumbles to the front of the ring with the Bladewolf in pursuit. The WWF Champion brings his forearm across the back of Austin, then tosses him back into the ring. Bladewolf slides in after him, but Austin quickly recovers to go on the attack as he drives his knees and elbowed into the side and back of the WWF Champion.

Bladewolf shrugs him off and throws him back, getting to his feet. Austin runs... AND TAKES THE BLADEWOLF DOWN WITH A LOU THEZ PREZ! Austin gets to his feet, flips Bladewolf the double middle finger, then brings his elbow down onto his masked faced. Austin gets to his feet and pulls Bladewolf up, then proceeds to ram his head off a turnbuckle, making him stumble back and Austains take the opportunity to clothesline him.

Austin walked around to the upper body, crouches down at Bladewolf's head, then starts to ram the back of his head repeteadly off the mat. Austin stops and Bladewolf sits up, holding the back of his head. Get gets to a knee when Austin lands a big right hand to the side of his face. Austin leans Bladewolf on the middle rope and starts to choke him with it, causing the referee to step in and begin the five count, with Austin breaking it at four. Austin runs to the ropes, bounces off, but Bladewolf whirls around and tackles him down to the mat.

The two throw punches at each other as they roll outside of the ring and to the floor. The Bladewolf gets to his feet at the same time as Austin and lands a big right hand, sending Austin stumbling around to the walkway aisle. Bladewolf follows and goes for another right hook but Austin blocks it, then rams his head off the metal guard railing, sending the WWF Champion to a knee.

Austin brings an elbow down to his head, stunning the Bladewolf momentarily. Austin pulls him to his feet and starts taking him back to the ring but Bladewolf halts them and punches Austin in the face. Bladewolf turns them around and punches Austin again, knocking him further up the aisle with the WWF Champion in pursuit. Austin fights back, and the two start slugging it out as they went further and further from the ring and towards the entrance set.

They soon bring the fight to the band stand, with Austin sending Bladewolf stomach-first against it and then throwing him onto the stand. Austin climbs up after him, earning a right hook from the WWF Champion who fights to his feet, bringing forearm after forearm onto Austin's back. Bladewolf brings Austin down and starts to set him up for a powerbomb, but struggles to lift Austin who fights back, refusing to be powerbombed off the band stand.

Bladewolf tires again, but Austin continues to struggle. He grabs Bladewolf's legs and... LIFTS HIM OVER HIS BACK AND BLADEWOLF FALLS BACK-FIRST ONTO THE CONCRETE FLOOR!

Austin takes a breather as Bladewolf slowly moves in pain while the referee checks on him. Austin gets off the band stand and walks over, grabbing Bladewolf and pulling him to his feet. Austin rears back and lands a right hand, making Bladewolf stumble backwards and turn, stumbling on the aisle. Austin keeps up the assault as they start to get closer to the ring now.

Austin looks at the ring, then grabs the Bladewolf and goes for an Irish whip but Bladewolf reverses... AND SENDS AUSTIN INTO THE RING APRON INSTEAD! Bladewolf walks over and lands a quick right uppercut, stunning Austin. Bladewolf grabs Austin and then drives his knee into his stomach, then does it again, then again, then again, then again. Austin falls forward, clutching his stomach, but Bladewolf brings an elbow down onto the Rattlesnake's back, sending him to the floor.

Flipping his hair back, Bladewolf adjusts his left elbow bad before picking Austin up and tossing him back into the ring. The WWF Champion slides in and watches Austin crawl to the ropes, pulling himself to his feet and turns around into a clothesline. Bladewolf runs, bounces off the ropes, and hits a running elbow drop to the chest of Austin.

Rather than go for the pin, he gets to his feet and pulls Austin to his again, Irish whips him into the corner before running and hits a turnbuckle clothesline to Austin. He remains there, then backs up, grabs Austin by the arm and yanks him into a close-quarters clothesline. Bladewolf looks around briefly before he grabs Austin's legs and drags him from the corner. He then runs, bounces off the ropes, and comes back for a leg drop across the throat of Austin. Bladewolf goes for the first cover in the match. ONE! TWO! Thr-! Austin kicks out at two.

Bladewolf gets to a knee and begins pounding away at Austin's forehead with some right hands. He stops after the sixth punch, then gets to his feet. He pulls Austin up and Irish whips him hard into the corner, but Austin surges right out and floors Bladewolf with a huge clothesline!

Bladewolf sits right up and gets to his feet... BUT AUSTIN TAKES HIM DOWN WITH ANOTHER HARD CLOTHESLINE! Bladewolf sits right up again and gets to his feet, ducks a third clothesline from Austin who bounces off the ropes and comes running into Bladewolf who flips him... AND HITS A SNAP SCOOP POWERSLAM!

Bladewolf hooks the legs! ONE! TWO! THR-! Austin kicks out again!

Bladewolf shakes his head before he gets to his feet and stomps on Austin repeatedly, then lifts his right leg and kicks the back of it. Bladewolf holds the left leg up and then brings his arm down onto it. Austin yells out in pain as Bladewolf stands up and does it for a second time, then stands up and does it for a third time. The WWF Champion gets to his feet and pulls Austin up to his, but then Austin starts fighting back, landing a right hand, then another, then goes for a third but Bladewolf ducks behind him, grabs him around the waist and sends him off his feet with a release German Suplex!

Austin clutches the back of his neck from the impact as Bladewolf gets right back to his feet, adjusting his elbow pads as he watches Austin roll on the mat from the impact and pain. He walks over, grabbing Austin and draping him out onto the ring apron. He gets out onto the ring apron, stares at Austin before he jumps up... AND HITS AN UNDERTAKER-STYLE LEG DROP ACROSS AUSTIN'S CHEST ON THE RING APRON!

Austin falls out of the ring, and the Bladewolf stands over him before pulling him to his feet and tossing him back inside. He was about to get in as well when the crowd starts booing, and he turns his attention towards the aisle to see Vince McMahon coming, alongside Pat Patterson and Gerold Briscoe.

Ignoring them, the Bladewolf slides into the ring as Austin is getting to his feet and lands a clubbing blow. He then grabs Austin's right arm and yanks it, driving his shoulder into Austin's and forcing him to a knee. Bladewolf pulls Austin up to his feet, then drives his shoulder into his again. He goes for it for a third time, but Austin lands a right hand, then drives his elbow into Bladewolf's face then again, then again, then again, and he is soon repeatedly elbowing Bladewolf in the face until he lets go of Austin's arm, allowing the Texas Rattlesnake to kick him in the gut... AND HITS THE STONE COLD STUNNER!

Seeing Vince, Austin doesn't go for the pin, but let's Vince know how he feels about his presence at ringside as he points at him then flips him off.

ONE! TWO! THRE-! Bladewolf kicks out at two!

Austin grabs Bladewolf by the legs and drags him over to a corner, before getting out of the ring. He grabs Bladewolf's legs again and lines the left up... AND RAMS IT OFF THE METAL RING POST! He grabs Bladewolf's right leg... AND DOES THE SAME TO THAT ONE! Austin turns, eyeing Vince dangerously, then walks back over to Bladewolf and grabs his leg again... WHEN BLADEWOLF SITS UP! Grabbing Austin's arm off his leg... BLADEWOLF PULLS AUSTIN INTO THE STEEL RING POST!

Austin goes down, clutching his right shoulder as Bladewolf pulls himself out and rolls out of the ring. The WWF Champion flips his hair back, then delivers a boot to the side of Austin's head, followed by a kick to the ribcage, then a stomp to the midsection, then a second one. He pulls Austin up to his feet and away from the guard railing, only to grab the back of Austin's neck... AND THROWS HIM INTO THE GUARD RAILING!

Bladewolf stares down at Austin, then whirls on Vince who had gotten closer. The WWF owner went wide eyed and backed up as the Bladewolf took a step towards him, pointing at the chair, silently telling to sit his ass down and stay there.

Bladewolf turns back to Austin and grabs him, bringing him over to the steel steps. He goes to ram Austin's head off them but Austin blocks it, then bangs Bladewolf's head off the steps. Austin grabs Bladewolf and sets him up... THEN HITS A SUPLEX ONTO THE STEEL STEPS! Bladewolf rolls off the steps in pain, and Austin takes the breather before rolling into the ring and back out to break the referee's count.

Austin stomps on Bladewolf again and again, then pulls him to his feet and tosses him into the ring. Austin slides in after him and keeps up the assault as Bladewolf tries getting to his feet. Austin goes for another kick but Bladewolf grabs his leg and spins him around. Austin goes for a clothesline but Bladewolf ducks... AND AUSTIN HITS THE REFEREE!

Austin looks down at the referee in surprise before he turns around... INTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts Austin up... AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM! HE GOES FOR THE COVER! BUT THERE'S NO REFEREE! Bladewolf sees the knocked out referee and punches the mat before getting to his feet, walks over and starts stomping on the referee, then brings an elbow down onto him.

Flipping his hair back, Bladewolf gets out of the ring as Austin rolls out. Bladewolf goes for the steel chair and turns to swing it at Austin... WHO PUNCHES THE CHAIR INTO THE BLADEWOLF'S MASKED FACE! Bladewolf goes down, dropping the chair. Vince tries to help the Bladewolf to his feet, but gets shoved back as the WWF Champion gets to his feet, shooting Vince a glare for getting involved.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Vince shouted in fury. "You had him beat! Get him in and finish him!"

Bladewolf ignores Vince and turns around... INTO A CHAIR SHO-BLADEWOLF DUCKS! AND AUSTIN HITS VINCE MCMAHON WITH THE CHAIR INSTEAD!

Austin smirks down at Vince then turns around into a huge uppercut, making him drop down and lose the chair. Bladewolf grabs Austin, tossing him back into the ring where he slides in after him. Bladewolf raises his right hand, signalling a Chokeslam is looming as Austin stumbles to his feet and turns around... iNTO A GOOZLE! Bladewolf lifts Austin up... AND HITS A CHOKESLA-! NO! AUSTIN GETS OUT OF IT!

Bladewolf turns into a boot to the stomach... AND THE STONE COLD STUN-NO! BLADEWOLF SHOVED HIM AWAY! Austin turns and runs, but gets lifted up into a fireman's carry. Bladewolf goes for the Fury of the Wolf, but Austin slides off his shoulders, kicks him in the stomach... AND NAILS A SECOND STONE COLD STUNNER! AUSTIN GOES FOR THE COVER, BUT THE REFEREE IS STILL DOWN!

Seeing, this, Austin goes his own pin! ONE!... TWO!... THREE! WE HAVE A NEW WWF CHAMPION!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Austin's theme plays as the new Champion gets to his feet and raises his arms. "Here is your winner and NEW World Wrestling Federation Champion... STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN!" Howard Finkel announced.

Austin takes the title and raises it as the Bladewolf lays in the ring, defeated. Tonight has seen a new Champion be crowned, and his name is Stone Cold Steve Austin.

What is to come from the fallout of this?

And that's it for this chapter everyone. Yeah, Bladewolf's title reign was short, but he'll get more in the future. I intend to at least make him a 17-time World Champion by the time he retires.
