A report on Over the Edge: In Your House, Nation of Domination, Vince McMahon, Dwayne Johnson and Stone Cold Steve Austin

While in the group, The Rock was a one-time Intercontinental Champion and D'Lo Brown was a two-time European Champion.

In the main event WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated Dude Love after overcoming biased officiating from Vince McMahon.

On the undercard NOD members Owen Hart, Kama Mustafa and D'Lo Brown defeated D-Generation X members Triple H, Billy Gunn and Road Dogg in a Six-man tag team match.

In the WWF, Austin was repackaged as a short-tempered, brash, anti-establishment antihero named "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, becoming the most popular wrestler of the Attitude Era off the back of his feud with company chairman Mr. McMahon.

On the April 13, 1998 episode of Raw Is War, Dude Love interfered in a match between WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and champion Steve Austin, asking the two to just "get along".

After the brawl was settled, DX members Road Dogg and Billy Gunn defeated The Rock and D'Lo Brown of The Nation in a tag team match, further enhancing their feud.

At D-Generation X: In Your House, The Rock got a shot at the Intercontinental Championship against Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The Nation and DX also wrestled in a six-man tag team match at Over the Edge: In Your House, which the Nation won.

McMahon, who, for years, had downplayed his ownership of the company and was mostly known as a commentator, became involved in WWF storylines as the evil Mr. McMahon, who began a legendary feud with Stone Cold Steve Austin, who challenged his authority.

He won the WWF Championship at Survivor Series and turned heel again by joining Mr. McMahon's Corporation faction.

He was initially reluctant to take this ring name but was persuaded by Vince McMahon and Jim Ross.

After losing the Intercontinental Championship to Owen Hart on the April 28, 1997 episode of Raw Is War and suffering a legitimate knee injury in a match against Mankind, Maivia returned in August 1997 and turned heel for the first time in his career by lashing out at fans who had been booing him and joining Faarooq, D'Lo Brown and Kama in the stable called the Nation of Domination.

At D-Generation X: In Your House in Springfield, Massachusetts on December 7, 1997, Stone Cold Steve Austin defeated the Rock in under six minutes to retain the Intercontinental Championship.

He then successfully defended the Intercontinental title against Faarooq at Over the Edge: In Your House on May 31 in Milwaukee.

Mr. McMahon demanded that Austin defend his Intercontinental Championship against The Rock in a rematch.

As in the previous match, Austin used his pickup truck as a weapon against The Rock and the Nation of Domination gang.

With Hart out of the way, Austin set his sights on The Rock, who stole Austin's championship belt after Austin suffered a beating by his Nation of Domination stablemates.

This led to a match between Dude Love and Austin at Unforgiven: In Your House, where Austin hit McMahon with a steel chair, then the following month they had a rematch at Over the Edge: In Your House for the WWF Championship.

In a title rematch at Over the Edge: In Your House, Austin again retained, despite McMahon being the referee and his "Corporate Stooges", Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson, as timekeeper and ring announcer, respectively.
