The following "Raw Is War" and "SmackDown!" showings featured primarily interpromotional matches between the two companies, with one notable match being a singles match between Chris Jericho and Rhyno on the August 9 episode of "SmackDown!" in which Rhyno delivered his finishing move 'The Gore' on Jericho which in turn destroyed a small portion of the stage design (the following week on the August 16 episode of "SmackDown!" would lead to the debut of the fist stage design in response to the destruction of the oval stage design). On the August 27 episode of "Raw Is War", Austin stole Kurt Angle's medals, and on the August 30 episode of "SmackDown!", tied them to a cinder block and threw them in a river. On the following September 3 episode of "Raw Is War", Debra and Stephanie bought a new truck for Austin, but Angle came up from behind and nailed Austin in the back of the head with a pipe. He put a cinder block and rope in the truck, put Austin in it, and drove away on the truck. He blindfolded Austin and threatened to throw him into a river if he did not get a title shot. Austin, fearful for his life, "broke down in tears" and agreed to give Angle a title shot at the upcoming pay-per-view, Unforgiven. Angle said, however, that Austin was "still going into the water", but instead simply embarrassed Austin by throwing him into a kiddie pool.
