The original double steel cage main event was scheduled to become Ric Flair vs. Lex Luger for the WCW Championship title, and Missy Hyatt and the Steiner Brothers vs. Paul E. Dangerously, Arn Anderson, and Barry Windham, but Flair was fired by then-WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd over a contract dispute, while Scott Steiner suffered a bicep injury.
