Big Van Vader, who was already the WCW World Heavyweight Champion at the time of the show, received a ring for winning the tournament.

The first team announced consisted of Big Van Vader, WCW World Heavyweight Champion and Cactus Jack.

Vader and Cactus Jack had been on opposite sides in the main event of WCW's last PPV Halloween Havoc, thus pairing rivals together for the first match.

Kane helped Vader attack Cactus Jack, during which Schiavone commented that it was the wrong brother and then stated, "I guess it doesn't really matter".

Initially, Vader and Cactus Jack would occasionally hit each other during the match but later started to get along enough to double team their opponents.

During the segment Ric Flair approached WCW World Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader with a contract.

[3][5] For the fifth match of the night rivals Sting and Jerry Sags were teamed up to take on Ron Simmons and Keith Cole.

As a result, Flair simply stepped to the apron and watched as Austin faced off against Maxx Payne (and partner 2 Cold Scorpio).

[3][5] In the next match regular tag team partners Shanghai Pierce and Tex Slazenger found themselves on opposite sides of the ring, initially refusing to fight.

Near the end of the match Slazenger and Pierce finally fought each other, leaving Slazinger open to Rick Rude sneaking in the ring to get a pinfall for his team.

[3][5] Road Warrior Hawk was the first competitor drawn for the last match and moments later his partner was announced as low card wrestler Rip Rogers.

After a short time in the ring with Hawk, Davey Boy Smith tagged out and left Kole to fight the remainder of the match.

Austin ended up eliminating Dustin Rhodes, who hit his head on the ring post, and then "bladed" to cause his forehead to bleed for dramatic effect.

Sting was then eliminated when he missed a Stinger Splash and fell over the top rope, giving Vader the victory.

[7] WCW abandoned the BattleBowl concept for a number of years, bringing it back one last time for the 1996 Slamboree event.

[11] In early 2013 Total Nonstop Action Wrestling adopted the "Lethal Lottery"/"BattleBowl" concept with their first ever Joker's Wild tournament, held as part of their "One Night Only" PPV series.
