Meanwhile, The Rock was defeated by Big Show after interference from a returning Shane McMahon, losing his WrestleMania 2000 title shot to Big Show. The Rock then challenged Big Show to a rematch to regain his title shot with Shane McMahon as the special guest referee. The Rock, who had put his career on the line as a stipulation from within the match itself was victorious after a returning Mr. McMahon, who had punched out both Shane and Triple H (who had attempted to intercept Vince on his way to the ring) gave the pinfall victory in The Rock's favor after donning the referee shirt. Linda McMahon then brought Mick Foley out of retirement and made the WrestleMania 2000 main event a fatal four-way elimination match between The Rock, Big Show, Triple H and Mick Foley, with each competitor having a McMahon in his corner. Vince turned on The Rock and secured a victory for Triple H after Big Show and Mick Foley were eliminated. Vince claimed that backing Triple H was the only way to reconcile with his daughter, and accepted Triple H as his son-in-law. He also claimed that The Rock only cared about himself. Shane abandoned Big Show soon after, also backing Triple H.
