The next night on RAW is War, Mr. McMahon claimed that the show that evening would be "a night never forgotten." Steve Austin announced that while he was CEO he wrote up a new contract for himself and made a few new rules, including the authority to assault Vince McMahon anytime he wanted, as well as booking himself into a WWF title match with the Undertaker. He made the stipulation that if there was any outside interference then the Undertaker would be disqualified and Austin would become the new WWF champion. Austin won the WWF Championship back from The Undertaker.
