Triple H was the World Heavyweight Champion and Kane was the Intercontinental Champion. All odds were against Kane in this one. Triple H had Ric Flair سے طرف کی his side, constantly meddling. Hurricane came out at one point to try and help Kane, but he was disposed of with a Pedigree on the floor. With three referees already taken out, Kane hit a big boot and gave Flair a chokeslam. But Triple H came back and hit Kane with the Pedigree for the win. Soon after, the Intercontinental Championship was deemed inactive and remained so until May 18, 2003.
