[3] Featured matches on the undercard were Diamond Dallas Page versus Jeff Jarrett, Ernest Miller versus Lance Storm for the position of WCW Commissioner, title defenses of the World Tag Team, United States Heavyweight and Cruiserweight Championships and matches to determine the #1 contenders for the Cruiserweight and the World Tag Team titles.

The main rivalry heading into the event was between Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship.

Steiner retained the title against Road Warrior Animal, Sid Vicious and Jeff Jarrett in a four corners match at Sin.

The following night, on Nitro, Steiner cut a promo on injuring Vicious' leg and forcing Goldberg out of WCW.

On the January 17 episode of Thunder, the Magnificent Seven interfered in a match between Jarrett and Diamond Dallas Page, prompting Nash, Miller and KroniK to come to the rescue.

On that same night, Lex Luger defeated Diamond Dallas Page to become the special guest referee for the main event match between Bagwell and Nash.

On the February 7 episode of Thunder, The Insiders (Kevin Nash and Diamond Dallas Page) defeated Jeff Jarrett and Rick Steiner.

Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, Chris Harris defeated Kid Romeo in a non-televised match.

The match was originally scheduled to be between Billy Kidman, Shannon Moore, Kaz Hayashi, Yun Yang, Jamie Knoble and Evan Karagias.

Both men traded moves until Morrus delivered a German suplex and a No Laughing Matter to win the match.

Chuck Palumbo and Sean O'Haire defended the titles against Mark Jindrak and Shawn Stasiak.

Guerrero took advantage of the referee's distraction and grabbed another chair, hitting Mysterio with it and delivering a Brainbuster to win the match and retain his title.

[3][4] In the next match, Rick Steiner defended the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship against Dustin Rhodes.

Adams tried to control the early portion of the match but was dominated by his opponents due to number disadvantage.

[3][4] Lance Storm put his newly won position of WCW Commissioner against Ernest Miller.

Miller started the match with his signature kicks until Storm began targeting his leg to slow the momentum.

Miller took advantage of the situation and hit a Feliner for the win and won the position of WCW Commissioner, which would be effective by mid-night.

[6][7] In 2007, Arnold Furious of 411Mania gave the event a rating of 5.0 [Not So Good], stating, "Hey, the cruiserweights tried really hard and got nowhere for it.

Basically I feel the main event went beyond the good will the crowd had for a WCW revival and they probably went home thinking “there goes that company”.
