WWF RAW is WAR September 25th, 2000 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
RAW is now on TNN. Stone Cold Steve Austin makes his way out in his RAW return. Austin: Vince McMahon you piece of trash you left the WWF to explore your genetic jackhammer or whatever bs excuse you've come up not to do your job. You see I'd thought that after I was run over like the next roadkill, that Vince would find out who did this but he hasn't done crap. I want answers, I want to know who did it... Mick Foley: (is out in the ring) Austin, I know you and I have had our fairshare of battles and partnerships, but I have to say that I am committed 100% into finding out who ran you over. So I want to bring out some possible suspects so you could question them right here in the middle of the ring. Austin: Well bring them out. (Rock comes out with the WWF title) Mick: Well Rock... The Rock: I'm not sure why I'm here Mick, I've got a match tonight to prepare for and I've said it many times before and I'll say it again I'm innocent I had nothing to do with running you over Stone Cold. Austin: Did you do it? Rock: No Austin: I believe you because I know the kind of guy you are, I've seen it in your eyes so I believe you he didn't do it Mick. Mick: Are you sure? Well let's bring out the next potential suspect. The Rock leaves and out comes Triple H. Triple H: Before you say something Austin, as much as you and I hate each others guts, I'll be honest. I wish I did run you over. I wish I was the one who did it and you know for a fact that if I wanted to run over, if I wanted to end your career you're career would be over right here and then. I'd get the job done. Austin: You're making a lot of sense. Mick: Triple H I'll respect you if you come clean. Triple H: I have nothing else more to say to any of you. Mick: Come on Austin, think about it, Triple H became one of the top stars after your accident, he start the McMahon-Helmsley Era. For all we know it could be Stephanie.... Stephanie: (comes out) What are you talking about how dare you accuse me. I have no reason to do this to Austin and besides think about this I wasn't married to Triple H yet. So what do I have to gain with taking out Austin. Austin: Well I've wanted to accuse your sob dad, but it looks like maybe he had you do it. Steph: Not a chance! For all we know it could be you Mick Foley. Mick: Me? Austin: Why would it be him? Steph: Think about it, Foley won the WWF Championship last year at SummerSlam beating you Austin and Triple H. He became an instant star. Mick probably wanted to take you (Austin) out of the equation and only had to worry about Triple H. Austin: Did you do it Mick? Mick: This is ridiculous I didn't... Austin is frustration suddenly stuns Mick! Steph runs out with Triple H. Later Backstage, Mick has a pack of ice on his neck and says that he understands Austin's frustration and will still continue the investigation.

WWF Smackdown!September 28th, 2000Hosts: Michael Cole & Jerry LawlerMick Foley comes out and talks about the arena he is in and it was here (in Pittsburgh) when his life almost came to an end at Hell in the Cell '98. Foley talks about how frustrated Austin is and forgives him for the stunner that he received. Foley says that he never would've even dared run over Austin because Foley is the kind of man that wants to get things done in the ring he has no motive no real reason to take out Austin out of the equation. Suddenly the Undertaker comes out. Taker: While you're dealing with this whole so-called investigation, which is funny because I already know who did it. Mick: What are you talking about? Taker: It's so damn obvious Mick, you can't even see it. But I'm not out here to talk about who ran over Stone Cold because to be honest I just don't care. Mick: You don't care? Taker: What I care about is the WWF Championship. The Rock may have defended the title at Unforgiven in a fatal-4-way, but I want my rematch, one on one. Mick: O you want it don't you, well how about I give you the match tonight? Taker: That's all I ask for. Mick: But...only if you tell me who it is. Taker: (smiles)...do you really want to know? Does everyone out here want to know? Mick: Tell us. Taker: Ask yourself this. Who became the biggest star after Stone Cold was run over? Who won the Royal Rumble? Who won the WWF Championship at Backlash? Who has held the title the longest this year alone? Who has sold more T-shirts than anyone of us? Mick: We've been over this many times... Taker: Wasn't he your first choice as a suspect? Mick: He was...but... Taker: That's right the WWF Champion, the Rock did it and I have proof. Mick: Proof? Taker: Give me my match, if I win the WWF Championship I'll give you the proof you want. Mick: You got it. Later Backstage Austin arrives to Smackdown and he's told that The Rock is being accused by Taker to be the one who ran him over. Austin says he doesn't believe it. Meanwhile the Rock cuts a promo in the locker room saying that he's innocent and that if Taker has proof he should show it. Austin confronts Taker later in the show. Austin: Where is the proof that the Rock did it? Taker: You really want to know? Have you ever known me to be a liar? Austin: Show it to me. Taker: If I win the WWF Championship than I will. The Undertaker def. The Rock (c) via pinfall to become the NEW WWF Champion.
Later in the match Stone Cold runs out with the referee knocked out cold and stuns the Rock for Taker to land the tombstone and pinning the Rock. Smackdown goes off air.

WWF RAW is WAR October 2nd, 2000 Hosts: Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
The show opens honouring Dennis Dunn, the WWF's first executive producer who passed away. Highlights from Smackdown is shown where the Undertaker defeated the Rock with the help of Stone Cold Steve Austin to become the new WWF Champion. The Rock makes his way out and on the mic in the ring. The Rock: Stone Cold Steve Austin, we all know he is the biggest SOB in the WWF and at Smackdown he proved he is a bigger piece of naive monkey trash the world has ever seen. Austin...I've said countless times I...didn't...do...it. The Undertaker claims that he has proof, and he'd give it to you well where is the proof? Where is it Austin? Mick Foley: (comes out to the ring holding a folder) Rock, the thing is I have here all the proof I need right here thanks to the Undertaker. The car was a rental under your name, your DNA and fingerprints was found in that car, hell a pair of your own sunglasses were found in the glovebox. The Undertaker was right no one else has more to gain out of running over Stone Cold than you. Remember it was you who sold more shirts, you who picked up more media appearances, whose book went to number one, who showed up on TV and has gotten movie roles, you are the number one suspect and it looks like I have to make a final judgment in the case of who ran over Stone Cold... Austin makes his way out and gets in the ring. Mick tries to stop him from attacking the Rock. Mick: Hold on Austin, just a sec, hold on please! (The Rock now wants to get in Austin's face) Rock please just a moment you guys. Austin: If you want me to open up a can of whoop a$$ on Mick Foley give me a hell ya (fans chant back)! There is no one who could stop me. Rock: You're a jacka$$ Austin... Mick: Guys let's make this civil. No Mercy is just a few weeks away, if you want your vengeance... The Rock: Know your role and shut your damn mouth Mick before I stick Mankind's mask, Cactus Jacks finger and Dude Love's bandana straight up your candy a$$, look Austin you cost me the WWF Championship, but for the last time I didn't do it, but if you don't believe me how about we settle this right now! The Rock jumps at Austin, Austin first back, Foley tries to get in the way till WWF Officials run out and stop Austin and the Rock. Backstage as this was happening, the Undertaker with the WWF title on his shoulder watches and has a smirk. Later in the show Mick Foley is on the phone with Linda McMahon about the situation. Foley is frightened that all hell is going to break loose and perhaps the WWF isn't big enough for Austin and the Rock anymore. Foley hears someone at the door and opens it noticing a security guard on the floor. The Rock gets in Foley's face. The Rock: You set me up you SOB Mick: What are you talking about? Rock: Give me those papers I want to see it for myself... Mick: I handed it over to Austin, he has it go ask him. The Rock shakes his head and leaves. Later in the show Austin is in the back looking for the Rock as WWF security follow him. The Rock is across the hallway and he runs towards Austin and spears him. Austin starts fighting and WWF security break them up.

WWF Smackdown! October 5th, 2000 Hosts: Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler
Cole opens Smackdown saying that Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock have been temporarily suspended for one night on Smakcdown and won't be showing up tonight. Later in the show Stone Cold is shown arriving at the building. WWF Security tell him that he's suspended for the night. Austin doesn't give a damn and starts beating up on security! Austin makes his way out to the ring. Mick Foley makes his way out and gets in the ring with heavy security surrounding the ring. Mick: Austin, you were suspended just for the night, you aren't supposed to be here. Austin: Do you think I give a damn rats a$$ you fat piece of trash Mick: The good news is that the Rock isn't here... Austin: How is that good news? Let me tell you something here Mick, I've been miserable, I haven't eaten a damn good meal in ages, for almost a year as the paycheques stopped coming in, the only thing keeping my appetite going is revenge. I eat, sleep and drink revenge, that's all I give a damn. A man's gotta eat, now you could suspend me all you want, but dammit you know for a fact that I need to get back in the ring and damn it give me the Rock. Mick: I will deliver to you the Rock, if you both promise you won't touch each other only then you'll have your match at No Mercy. Do you agree? Austin: Fine...I agree... Mick: Now will you leave? Otherwise I'll have to call in the cops Austin. Austin stuns Mick! He rolls on out as WWF security escort him to his car, but Austin starts knocking some security guys down and he runs off somewhere. The Undertaker (c) def. Kane via pinfall to retain the WWF Championship. As the match ends Austin can be seen coming down the stairs from the crowd. He jumps in the ring and gets in Taker's face. Austin shakes Taker's hands and thanks him (for helping him find the truth as to who ran him over) as Taker looks in shock that Austin would do that. Austin leaves to the back as WWF security finally get a hold of Austin and Smackdown goes off air.

WWF RAW is WAR October 9th, 2000 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
JR says that Austin is suspended for a second night for his actions on Smackdown and cops will be surrounding the arena to make sure that he doesn't show up. Mick Foley walks out and gets in the ring. He says that he has something to say. Mick: You see at No Mercy Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Rock will be taking each other on in a grudge match, and as brutal that is going to be, both men have agreed that they can't touch each other or come near each other until No Mercy and if they do they will not have a match at all. Rock: (comes out) Mick Foley, you've accused me that I ran over Stone Cold, but we have yet to make a final judgment and I think I know why. Because you have doubts don't you. Mick: The evidence clearly points at you Rock. Rock: Well what if I were to tell you that there is CCTV footage of someone getting out of the car where it was found after someone had abandoned it. Someone who framed me, someone that's not...me. Mick: What in the world are you talking about? What footage? Rock: Linda McMahon has the footage but it's not being released yet, they thought that it was missing but it's there captured from another building. Someone got out of that car, and I want to know who it is. So I was hoping that Linda showed it to you. Mick: I...I don't know what to say...I'll talk to Linda about this and if we can get that footage verified and released...and it's not you... Rock: It is...not...me but the damage is done even though I want to clear my name for all these fans in the millions upon millions watching at home, the damage is done between me and Austin and at No Mercy you can bet your candy a$$ that I'll beat his a$$ and when I'm done with Austin, I'll find a way to get that CCTV footage and have him watch who really ran him over and if you smellll-(tongue flick)-llll what The Rock is cooking. A very puzzled Mick Foley walks to the back. After a commercial break Foley is on the phone with Linda who confirms the existence of CCTV footage but that it needs to be verified first. Shawn Michaels is backstage and approaches Mick. Shawn says he's just visiting and says if the investigation has been opened again he wants to be apart of it. Mick says he doesn't trust anyone because if the Rock is telling the truth about the CCTV footage, who knows maybe Shawn Michaels did it. Shawn laughs and says as much as Austin was his last competitor in the WWF, he doesn't hate him enough to run him over. In the back the Undertaker is getting ready for his match tonight in the locker room and the Rock shows up and approaches him. Rock: This is your fault Taker: If you think some unverified footage is going to acquit you think again. You did it, everyone knows it and I should beat your a$$ for what you did to Austin. Rock: If you wanted a title shot all you had to do was ask, but instead you knew you could use Austin to get it because you can't beat me fair and square. Taker: Get out of here or I'll make it hell for you. Rock: O I'll leave, but remember after I'm done with Austin, I'm coming after you. The Undertaker (c) def. Test via DQ to retain the WWF Championship. Kurt Angle who is named the No. 1 contender for the WWF Championship runs in and lands an Angle slam on Taker ending the match in DQ. Angle gets in the ankle lock and Taker shouts till..... Stone Cold makes an appearance to a massive pop despite cops chasing him in the ring, Austin saves Taker from Angle as RAW goes off air.

WWF Smackdown! October 12th, 2000 Hosts: Michael Cole and Jerry LawlerStone Cold Steve Austin is in his pickup as Smackdown opens and Austin looks pissed. Backstage Foley is on the phone with Linda and Foley says that he can't keep suspending Austin, and that maybe she should try to do something about him. Linda threatens to fire Foley and Foley says he'll try to keep Austin under control. Later in the show the Rock makes his way to the parking lot and you could hear Austin's truck in the distance.

Austin: He ran me over! Foley: No...I don't think he did not anymore I have my doubts there is footage, CCTV footage once it's verified we'll know. Austin: No...it was the Rock it had to be. Foley: Enough Austin, enough! Austin punches Foley, Foley fights back! Foley has had enough and gets in the mandible claw!!! Austin passes out.

WWF RAW is WAR October 16th, 2000 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
Linda McMahon makes her way out to the ring. She talks about the incident from Survivor Series 99 and mentions that Mick Foley went out of line assaulting a WWF Superstar although it was necessary to keep Austin under control. She calls him out and Foley is out. Linda: Mick, we brought you in as commissioner because we felt you were the right man for the job. You wanted to start this investigation, we wanted the authorities to handle it but you felt that it was better that you did it yourself and that since Mr. Austin didn't want to press charges, an internal investigation was necessary. However Mick, I feel that the only way to let this go is to end this investigation here and now. If Austin isn't pressing charges, than I'm sorry but I have to say enough is enough. The case needs to be buried. Mick: Linda, I came to do my job and I am committed to my promises and as for Stone Cold, he's a loose cannon I think everyone can see that. However, there is the matter of the CCTV footage that the Rock brought our attention too... Linda: Although the footage has yet to be verified, I'm sorry I'm done with the investigation. That footage is being sent back... The Rock: (makes his way out) That footage you speak of is the only way for the millions...and millions of the Rock's fans to see that he is innocent. Austin tried to run me over, Austin has gone insane. This footage is the only way to make him know that it wasn't...me...however I wanted to ask you Mick, you canceled my match with Austin this Sunday, I wanted to say no. You can't control Austin, but sometimes you gotta let a cannon go loose so I say give me Austin this Sunday and things will be better for you, that I promise...no that I guarandamn-tee. Mick: I refuse... Linda: You're right Rock, you're absolutely right. I think Austin needs this and so do you. You will face him this Sunday. But as for the footage, I'm sorry Rock, but there isn't much I can do Austin has gone too far, Mick Foley has gone too far, you have gone too far, this investigation... The Rock: Do you want me to beg? Is that what you want? Do you want the Rock to beg in front of his millions of fans, the people's champion? Because you know I won't beg, but I'll tell you this, if you don't release the footage, than you'll be on the Rock's bad side, the whole WWF will see a side of the Rock they've never seen before because trust me, this war between Austin and I will never end, we'll destroy the WWF if we have too and it will be you Linda McMahon who was responsible. Linda leaves shaking her head. Mick: Rock...look I know what you're thinking but I think... Rock: It doesn't matter what you think! Because Mick Foley, you just like Austin accused me and this Sunday there is hell to be paid. As the Rock leaves, Mick looks at his hand as though he desired to put the mandible claw on the Rock, he shakes his hand and puts it behind his back. Later backstage Austin's pickup is in the parking lot. The Rock is seen near it and he has a crowbar. It looks like he's about to smash it till he notices cans of beer in the back. The Rock decides instead of start drinking all of Austin's beer! Linda is in her office and Austin comes in as he asks what she wants. Linda says that Austin has gone too far, and to the extreme. She wanted to suspend him indefinitely, but is giving him a chance that if he behaves he'll allow him to wrestle. Austin says he doesn't need to behave because he just won't be on RAW and is going to leave. Austin heads on out and reaches his pickup truck and notices that someone drank all of his beer as cans are all over the pickup. Austin is pissed off and decides to head back to find out who did it. The Rock however ambushes Austin in the hallways and starts beating up on him, smashing him to a table and grabbing whatever object he can to beat him down with it. The Rock grabs Austin's keys and goes for the pickup. The Rock steals Austin's truck as he drives away! Austin is pissed and asks someone for a ride to find the truck.

Rock: Three days away, the Rock is three days away to opening up the biggest can of whoop a$$ on that good for nothing Stone Cold piece of monkey trash Austin whose pickup truck is going to be turned sideways and get shoved up Austin's candy a$$.

You see Austin you haven't had a proper match since you were run over, you're obviously going to be rusty. All you know is how to brawl, but the Rock knows more, the Rock is prepared, the Rock is more than ready to brawl, make you tap out, make you squeel and pin you for the one two three because the Rock is 100% that's right 100%, and Austin you're a shadow of your old self. At No Mercy you'll find out what the Rock...has been cooking. Backstage Mick Foley approches the Rock and says that he is in a tag team match with the Undertaker to take on Triple H and Kurt Angle.

Kurt Angle manages to get in the Angle Slam for the pin and win. Winner: Triple H & Kurt Angle via pinfallTriple H doesn't like that Kurt got the win and leaves as Kurt celebrates. Taker gets back in and lands a chokeslam on Kurt. Suddenly the Rock who is frustrated starts landing rights and lefts on Taker and spits into his hand for a big punch as Taker goes over the ropes. Stone Cold's music hits as Austin runs in and it's an all out braw between Austin and the Rock. Taker smiles and leaves with the WWF title.

He tells the Rock that the media is here to ask him as to why he ran over Stone Cold and about his match tonight. The Rock grabs Kelly Kelly and tells him that he has no interest in answering questions. Members of the "media" start approaching the Rock and the Rock says no comment before they could even ask any questions. The Rock approaches Mick Foley's closet office and asks him what the heck the media is going here. Foley says someone...someone leaked the CCTV Footage to the media. The Rock says he wants to see it and Foley says he'll show him soon. The Rock asks him if he saw it and Foley says no. The Rock says he didn't do it and Foley says we'll see. Later Austin arrives in his pickup and Kevin Kelly approaches him to tell him that CCTV footage has been leaked to the media and they want to ask him questions. Austin asks if it's the Rock, Kevin says "I think so", Austin throws him down and says he wants nothing to do with the media as he heads back to his pickup. Stone Cold Steve Austin vs. The Rock The Rock is out waiting. Austin's music hits and he drives his pickup truck into the arena! The Rock gets out and Austin is firing tens of rights and knocks down the Rock smashing him over the car and to the steel steps. The Rock manages to finally fight back, but Austin is on a rampage.

Winner: No ContestThe Rock is later taken to an ambulance. The Undertaker (c) def. Kurt Angle via pinfall. Taker managed to get in a chokeslam and the last ride for the pin and win. Suddenly Mick Foley walks out and gets in the ring. Taker wonders why. Mick: Cut the music because I've got something to show the world. CCTV Footage is shown on the Titantron with the Rock's Rental Car driving up to a curb at where it was abandoned. Near it was a Harley. A figure leaves the vehicle and rides out with the Harley. Mick: I keep watching that footage and it's more clear than ever that the real suspect, the one who framed my good friend the Rock who I feel like I should mourn after he took a beating he never deserved...that this whole time it was you...Undertaker, you ran over Stone Cold Steve Austin.Taker: Mick...you're right. Suddenly Taker kicks Mick and lands a chokeslam on Mick Foley! You could hear JR screaming "that SOB that SOB that SOB!" as No Mercy goes off air with Taker grabbing the WWF title and leaving with trash being thrown at him from the crowd.

WWF RAW is WAR October 23rd, 2000 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jerry Lawler
Higlights shown from No Mercy with the revelation that the Undertaker was responsible for running over Stone Cold. The Undertaker with the WWF title opens RAW as he makes his way out to a lot of heat. Cole says that Austin is still in jail. "I know what you're all thinking. Why? Why did I do it. Let me tell you why. You see I debuted almost 10 years ago at Survivor Series. One year later I won the WWF Championship for the first time. Fast forward to Wrestlemania XIII, I won the WWF title for a second time. Fast forward to 1999 when I won it for a third time and now, I am once again the WWF Champion. But this isn't all about championship, this is all about the fact that the WWF has not once considered the Undertaker as the face of the company.
"Not once have they thought of me as the big dog in the WWF. Think about it, I beat Hulk Hogan right here in the middle of the ring to win my first WWF Championship, and no he was still the big dog before he left. Then I saw how Bret Hart rose to the top, after him Shawn Michaels, both became the big dog, and the Undertaker was all but an attraction in this circus called Sports Entertainment. I was patient until the day when I drove Shawn Michaels to retirement, everyone knows I was responsible and it felt good. It felt good because after Shawn was gone who was left in the WWF as the big dog? Me. I was left..."
"But no the WWF didn't see it this way and we got Stone Cold Steve Austin who became the biggest star there ever was. Stone Cold, the man who defied my Ministry became the big dog no matter how many times Vince McMahon tried to stop him he was the face of the company after all. So last year, when I left the WWF because of Vince McMahon I couldn't stand staying at home watching how Austin was all over the place and even as I left what did the fans do? They quickly forgot about me. So I had enough and one drunken afternoon I decided to take out Austin out of the equation and it felt good and I looked deep into my own soul and realized maybe just maybe I was responsible for so many things, maybe I burned my brother Kane after all because I wanted too subconsciously."
"Then all of a sudden as I return to the WWF to finally become the big dog once and for all, another big dog emerged and the WWF gave him all the attention in the world and all the fans were behind him. I couldn't stand to see the Rock become the biggest star after Austin and possible even bigger with TV appearances and movie deals. So what better way to become the big dog than to get rid of Austin and the Rock by having them destroy each other? Last night you saw the bloody mess the Rock was, and you saw how Austin was arrested. They've ruined themselves and now I stand here the WWF Champion, I stand here the big dog because I deserve it"Mick Foley makes his way out. Mick: Taker, we've had our fair share of battles, but I have never imagined that it would be you. Taker: Then you're the biggest idiot there is. Who was the one who threw you from the top of a cell? Me. Who was the one who ended Shawn's career? Me. Who burned Kane? Me. Who set him on fire again not too long ago? Me. Who was the one who nearly crucified Stephanie McMahon? Me. I am the destroyer, I'm the big dog now. Mick: What you did was nearly commit manslaughter, and I may have no choice but to suspend you for what you did and strip you of the WWF Championship. Taker: I don't think you understand Foley... Mick: I understand well, I understand... Suddenly Taker chokeslams Mick! He lands a tombstone piledriver on Foley and puts his foot on his chest as he raises the WWF title up high. After a commercial break, Mick is being stretchered out. Backstage Kurt Angle wants a rematch for the WWF title, but Foley has been sent to the hospital.

Smackdown opens with Stone Cold making his way out. Austin: So at No Mercy we find out that biggest p.o.s there has ever been in the WWF, the Undertaker, was responsible for running me over. Well now that we know, how about you come out here you coward and face me in the ring. Taker: (is on stage) Austin, I ain't afraid of you and if I had the chance I would run you over again and again. Austin runs out up the aisle! Taker isn't afraid and runs after Austin it's an all out brawl! Taker slams Austin unto the railings and chokeslams him on the floor! Taker grabs Austin and throws him in the ring. Taker is back in and Austin is trying to get back up. Taker laughs as Austin tries to swing a punch despite being hurt.

He's being looked at by medical personnel and Kevin Kelly wants to ask Austin how he feels about learning that the Undertaker was responsible and what does that say about what he did to the Rock at No Mercy. Austin: The sob framed the Rock I nearly made the biggest regret of my life at No Mercy, as much as the Rock and I despise each other I should've known from the start that he wasn't the one who did it. The Undertaker will pay...ahh (gets a new ice pack)...he'll pay...(whispers) he'll pay.... The Undertaker (c) def. Chris Benoit via pinfall to retain the WWF Championship with the last ride. Stone Cold runs out after the match. Taker looks thrilled as Austin runs in and Taker starts kicking down Austin. Austin fires lefts and rights and irish whip to the corner.

End of Part 8
This story of who ran over Stone Cold is done as we find out it was the Undertaker who did it. I wanted to follow up with the Aftermath and how it plays out:
On the next RAW, The Rock defeats the Undertaker to win the WWF title once again with the help of Austin who lands two stunners as a way for Austin make amends with the Rock.
Taker and Austin meet at Survivor Series and the match ends in a no contest. Due to the match being too "violent" and extreme, Austin and Taker are barred from facing each other again.
Eventually Austin after much effort gets a chance to meet Taker when Mick Foley returns and agrees to a match at Armageddon. Austin finally defeats Taker and gets his revenge. Austin wins the Royal Rumble and heads to Wrestlemania 17 to take on the Rock and the rest is history.

9. Who is the Higher Power?
From late 1998 to early 1999, the Ministry remained a powerful force against the Corporation and Stone Cold Steve Austin who was at odds with both sides. The Undertaker vowed to take over the WWF with his Ministry. As time went on he would continue to refer to the "Higher Power" and we all know how it ended up with the Corporation joining forces with the Ministry, and eventually Vince McMahon being revealed as the "Higher Power" all along. What if the WWF took a different direction with the story-line? What if someone else was the Higher Power? Stay tuned! RECAP:On February 22nd on RAW, Paul Bearer delivered a parcel to Vince during an inferno match between the Undertaker (leader of the Ministry) and Kane (Corporation member) revealing a teddy bear in which Taker would set fire on it and Vince is in total shock.
As the weeks went by we learned that the Undertaker (Ministry) wanted to take over the WWF. The teddy bear was also meant to be "symbolic".
At Wrestlemania 15, the Undertaker defeated the Big Boss Man and hanged him in a Hell in the Cell match. Also at WM15 Austin (Corporation rival) defeated the Rock (then a Corporation member).
At Backlash, the Undertaker abducts Stephanie McMahon after Shane costs the Rock the WWF title against Austin.

WWF RAW is WAR April 26th, 1999 Hosts: Jim Ross & Jim Cornette
The Rock turns babyface and is no longer a member of the Corporation. Backstage Pat Patterson tells Vince to call the cops but Vince wants to play it the way Undertaker wants and the stooges want Taker to call back. Meanwhile Triple H suggests to Shane that a Rock jersey should be repackaged as "The Crock". The Ministry bring out Stephanie for the Black Wedding: At the end of the wedding as Austin saved Stephanie, and Stephanie hugs Austin thanking him, Vince comes out to hug Stephanie and thanks Austin. Austin stares at Vince as JR makes sure everyone knows that it was just the right thing to do and not about Vince.
