Angle goes to see RTC backstage and tells RTC that they need WWF gold.
European Title
Match: Al Snow (c) vs. Albert (w/Trish)
Steven Regal is out to do commentary. Al Snow is representing Hong Kong this week. Very
even match. A little to slow of a pace for my liking though. Trish gets Al Snow's
attention and gets decked by Albert but Al comes back and gets the win. Al Snow then hits
Albert with head. Regal gets in the ring and lays out Al Snow.
Winner: Al Snow (He retains the European Title)

problems for The Rock. The Rock, in a sleeper, begins to make a comeback from fan support.
