Tag Team Title Match: Saturn vs. Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow - Pre-match, Saturn (wearing tights, instead of a dress) refused to forego the match, despite having both his partners attacked that evening. Page and Bigelow honored his request. Although Saturn gave a strong showing, he eventually got leveled by his stronger opponents. Saturn survived an unbelievable amount of punishment, but refused to surrender the pinfall. When Page tried to end the match with the Diamond Cutter, Saturn struck with a new wave of offense, and connected -- on both men -- with the DVD. Enter Kanyon. Released from the hospital, Kanyon ran from the ring and grabbed the tag. But instead of equalizing the contest, Kanyon was downed by a Page sucker punch, actually a discus punch that knocked him out cold. Weak from his hospital stay and still wearing a hospital ID bracelet, Page covered the weary Kanyon for the three-count. 1 2 3 - WCW has brand new tag team champions and Raven's tag title reign ends after 3 weeks and one day.

WINNER: New TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, Diamond Dallas Page and Bam Bam Bigelow
