The King of the Ring PPV virtually marked the end of relevance for Tori in the WWE world. At the time, Tori was working as the valet of X-Pac for a D-Generation X that had seen better days. The two, along with Road Dogg, would defeat The Dudley Boyz in a bizarre hybrid tables/dumpster match at the pay-per-view, which Tori took part in at less than 100 percent.

The previous day, Tori sustained a torn labrum. She still performed in the match, although wasn't particularly physical until the post-match, when Bubba Ray Dudley gave her a super-powerbomb through a table. That violent act was enough to write her out for an extended time to recover, though her WWE career was virtually finished, save for a peculiar run as Raven's masked ninja sidekick.
