Steiner defended his United States Heavyweight Championship against Dustin Rhodes, Totally Buff defeated KroniK to get a tag titles shot, Ernest Miller won his commissioner job back from Lance Storm, and DDP defeated Jarrett after he lost an impromptu match to Chris Kanyon before the match. Before the main event, Flair declared that the loser of the match would retire. Nash came in a wheelchair as Steiner taunted him, Nash revealed he wasn't really injured, hit Steiner with the belt and pinned him, seemingly winning the title. Flair turned the match into a two-out-of-three-falls match. Later, Steiner hit Nash with the lead pipe outside the ring as Flair made the match a falls count anywhere match and Steiner pinned Nash to tie the score. During the final fall, Midajah and Flair interfered, allowing Steiner to hit Nash with a steel chair, and winning the match with the Steiner Recliner, thus retiring Nash. The next night on Nitro, the group did a funeral for Nash, and DDP challenged Steiner to a match at Greed. On the same night, Jarrett and Flair started a feud with the Rhodes Family with Jarrett imitating Dusty. DDP defeated Kanyon in order to get a title shot at Greed. The following week, Booker T made his return after being injured by Steiner to save DDP from the Steiner Brothers. During the next episode of Thunder, Booker T got Scott in a non-title match, only for Rick Steiner to interfere. On the March 5 episode of Nitro, Booker challenged Rick to a United States Championship match, that was ended with an interference from both DDP and Scott; leading to a tag team main event match that ended with a beat-down by Scott on DDP. That same night, Jarrett defeated Dusty Rhodes and after a post-match beatdown, Flair and Jarrett challenged the Rhodes family to a tag match at Greed. On the March 12 episode of Nitro, Midajah was found knocked out in the backstage, and it was implied that Bagwell did it. During the next episode of Thunder, Bagwell found Animal knocked out in the backstage with a writing on the wall that said "It wasn't him". At Greed, Booker won the WCW United States Heavyweight Championship from Rick Steiner, Dusty Rhodes pinned Ric Flair in the tag match (and per match's stipulation, Flair had to kiss Rhodes' butt), and Steiner defeated DDP in a falls count
