Last few minutes. They actually went 30 minutes with this match, which is insane, so no way were we going to include it in full. There's good sports entertainment melodrama, and then there's overwrought and bad sports entertainment melodrama, and this is the latter. Vince is about to destroy HHH with a sledgehammer for the finish when Stephanie asks if she can do it. She can't bring herself to do it, but that leaves Vince open for a pinfall and loss. So HHH wins.

 

Then comes the twist that we're still feeling the effects of today. HHH teases hitting Stephanie with the sledgehammer until she turns around concerned, and her concern turns to a smile and she hugs HHH. Yeah, a lot of how they got there didn't make sense, but this was another great angle that further cemented HHH as the top guy.

I can't imagine watching this for 30 minutes but the action we see isn't offensively bad or anything. In a shocking twist, they do NOT have Stephanie pick up the sledgehammer, prepare to hit HHH, then swing around and hit Vince instead. Instead she costs Vince the match through more subtle means and solidifies her turn afterward. And things will never be the same again.
