Shawn Michaels on color was once again the highlight of the program&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(1) Lex Luger &amp; British Bulldog fought Tatanka &amp; Bam Bam Bigelow to a double countout. Bulldog arrived to the ring late allowing the heels to double team Luger in the opening seconds of the match. Luger worked most of the match until a hot tag to Bulldog led to a four-way brawl at ringside&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>-Todd Pettengill hosted a Royal Rumble Update.

After the match, Jarrett said he would finally sing on TV. When he was ready to sing &#8220;Ain&#8217;t I Great,&#8221; he kept telling Roadie to adjust the height of the microphone. When that was finally situated, feedback began so Jarrett left the ring in disgust&#8230;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-4179877019\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-A promo aired with Super Dave for his new show on USA&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(4) Lex Luger &amp; British Bulldog beat Tatanka &amp; Bam Bam Bigelow. Because the TV main event opener didn&#8217;t end decisively, the match was restarted. Smith swung Tatanka into Bigelow, who was on the ring apron, and then covered Tatanka for a three count.
