Entering Slamboree, the reigning tag team champions were Scott Hall and Kevin Nash, The Outsiders.

Shortly before Slamboree, Hogan convinced Giant, a former member of the nWo, to rejoin the group on his side.

Despite being champions, Sting and Giant did not wrestle together after winning the titles and chose instead to make defenses with their own stablemates.

Eventually a match was agreed to where the winner would receive both belts and would be able to select a replacement partner to continue the reign.

Curt Hennig and Rick Rude, who had been in Konnan's corner, helped him to his feet and then turned on him and began attacking him.
