Our hosts are Vince McMahon and Jerry Lawler as we have Bret "The Hitman" Hart taking on Bob Backlund in a rematch from last year's Survivor Series and WrestleMania XI. We will also hear from Shawn Michaels for the first time since he collapsed and Ahmed Johnson will also be in action plus more.
Owen Hart kicks off tonight by taking on jobber Jeff Hardy. Diesel is shown watching the match backstage. We are also shown Davey Boy Smith's wife and Owen's sister Diana sitting in attendance. Owen was set to put the Sharpshooter on Hardy, but instead gives him the Jackknife Powerbomb for the 1-2-3 to mock Diesel.
After the match, Yokozuna comes to the ring and delivers the Banzai Drop on Hardy as Hart puts Hardy in the Sharpshooter. Diesel then runs into the ring as Owen quickly runs away. Diesel then gives Yokozuna the big boot to the outside and Diesel raises his right arm in celebration.
This past weekend on Superstars, Vince McMahon attempted to interview Diesel after his match only for Diesel to just walk by him and say nothing. Aja Kong defeats Chaparita Asari.
Next Todd Pettngill sits and interviews Shawn Michaels. Pettengill says Michaels never won the WWF Championship and asks if should maybe retire. Michaels basically does not like what Pettengill has to say and ends the interview.
Ahmed Johnson quickly disposes of a jobber with two Spinebusters and the Pearly River Plunge for the win. Jerry Lawler talks to Johnson after the match and says that Dean Douglas has done his homework on him and told him Douglas said third grade was the longest four years of Johnson's life. Johnson then threatens Douglas to not get into the ring with him and tells Lawler to go sit back next to Vince.
Next we are shown a WWF Christmas promo followed by an advertisement for the upcoming RAW Bowl on New Year's Day and followed by an interview by Vince McMahon with Ted DiBiase, 1-2-3 Kid, and Sycho Sid. The babble on about the upcoming In Your House match with Razor Ramon and Marty Jannetty.
Now it's time for the main event Bret Hart vs. Bob Backlund in a non-title match that made Backlund go ballistic last week when he found out. Jerry Lawler goes over to interview Diana Smith.
He asks her if she hopes that the same result from Summer Slam 92 occurs at In Your House. She just says she wants to go home happy. Then he asks her about his newfound attitude and she says he supports her husband no matter what and thanks Jim Cornette for getting her husband a WWF Title shot.
Backlund works on Bret's left arm so he could set him up for the Crossface Chicken Wing. After a couple of commercial breaks, we come back to see Bret hit Backlund with the Side Russian Legsweep and then the back breaker. He gives Backlund the elbow drop off the second rope and puts him into the Sharpshooter.
Davey Boy Smith runs into the ring to cause a disqualification. When Bret has his focus on Smith, Backlund puts Hart in the Chicken Wing and keeps it on him while Bulldog kicks Hart. The refs come in and eventually break this up. Bulldog tells Backlund good job.
Next week on RAW, Razor Ramon takes on Yokozuna.
