10 WWE Wrestlers Who Won Matches They Weren't Booked In
4. Stone Cold Steve Austin - Judgment Day: In Your House
Arguably the greatest feud in wrestling history, the war between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Mr. McMahon was well underway going into October of 1998.
At Breakdown: In Your House, Austin fought Undertaker and Kane in a Triple Threat match for his WWF Championship, with McMahon promising that Stone Cold would not leave the event with the title. After both Brothers of Destruction pinned Austin simultaneously, Vince immediately declared the title vacant, ran away with the belt and drove off in his limo, but not before flipping Austin the bird in one of the best closing moments to a PPV ever.
Judgment Day: In Your House came about and the match was set between Undertaker and Kane for the vacant title, with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the special guest referee - and the rule that the Rattlesnake must crown a new champion or he would be fired.
The two big men fought in a fairly bad match and, after interference from Paul Bearer and Austin getting physical, both the Deadman and the Big Red Machine were out for the count and shoulders to the floor. Stone Cold then made a three-count and, even though not being an active participant, declared himself the winner. The decision was almost immediately undone by McMahon who fired Austin that night, for as long as it lasted anyway.
