Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, and Scott Hall created The nWo to change sports entertainment

The veteran Superstars formed the faction following Hogan’s Leg Drop on Randy Savage. This was one of the most controversial factions in the history of WWE.

One of the popular storylines involving the nWo was the feud with The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin.

It started with The Rock challenging Hulk Hogan for a match at WrestleMania. Even after Hollywood Hogan accepted, Rock kept his grip on the handshake and then executed a Rock Bottom on him. Nash and Hall rushed out to the arena and ambushed The Great One. Not only did they assault and spray paint him, but also refused to let medics treat him or the ambulance leave the arena.

Following that, Steve Austin got involved with the nWo at No Way Out. The faction interfered with Austin’s match against Chris Jericho, which cost him the chance to secure the Undisputed WWE Championship.

However, it was Hall who accepted the challenge, and it ended with all three nWo members attacking The Brahma Bull. This is when The Texas Rattlesnake stopped the attack and saved The Rock.

Finally, The Rock and Austin took on The nWo together in a match. Hulk Hogan executed the Leg Drop on The Rock to secure the victory.
