Notes:
1- The British Bulldog pins Owen Hart in
the finals of a tournament to crown the first European Champion.
2- Shawn Michaels is ordered by
Commissioner Slaughter to defend the belt against friend and ally,
Hunter Hearst Helmsly. He intentionally loses the match and title.
3- An injured Hunter Hearst Helmsly
attempted to swerve Owen Hart by sending out the Artist Formerly
Known as Goldust (made up to look like HHH) for the match. Owen
defeated Goldust, but Commissioner Slaughter ruled that since the
match was scheduled to be a European Title match, and Owen had
pinned "Helmsly", he would be awarded the belt.
4- Hunter Hearst Helmsley goads an injured
Owen Hart to put the title up for grabs in an unscheduled RAW is WAR
match. HHH wins and takes the title with a little help from Chyna.
5- Shane McMahon becomes the new champ in a
stipulation tag team match with partner Kane against HHH/X-Pac.
Shane pinned X-Pac to win the match and the belt.
6- Mideon brings back the European title
out of retirement.
7- Since Mark Henry interfered and helped
Jeff Jarrett win his match at Summerslam, Jarrett presented Henry
with the WWF Euro belt as a reward.
8- Val Venis defeats Bulldog and D'Lo Brown
in a triple threat match to win the title.
9- In an unprecedented triple threat two
falls match for both the IC and Euro belts featuring reigning
champion Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho, Jericho pins
Benoit in the second fall to become the new Euro champ.
