* The result of the "First Blood End of an Era" match between reigning WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin and challenger TheUndertaker with babyface Austin's main event career and heel Wrestling/VinceMcMahon's grip on the organization on the line. Austin triumphed and per the stipulation, Vine was ousted as chairman, ending one of the most gripping wrestling feuds of all time and allowing Austin to move on from the [=McMahon=] rivalry. Two and a half months later, having lost the WWF championship, Austin used his controlling influence to reinstate Vince so he could be granted another main event title shot against Triple H. While initially a babyface feuding with Triple H, Vince eventually turned heel again in 2000, costing The Rock the WWF championship in the main event of ''Wrestlemania 2000'' and reconciled with Triple H, while Austin spent the duration of that year out with a severe neck injury. When he returned from injury and finally reclaimed the title, Austin turned his back on the fans and actually ''aligned'' himself with [=McMahon=] ''and'' Triple H during the spring of 2001.

* The 2001 ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'' event saw the World Wrestling Federation defeat World Championship Wrestling in a 'winner take all' main event where the losing organization would be dissolved. The next night on RAW, with the famous Monday Night Wars now firmly behind them, WWF World Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin turned babyface once again, The Rock had control of the World Heavyweight Championship, and Ric Flair was made a partial co-owner of the organization, but Vince McMahon and The Undertaker both turned heel the same night too. While Flair intended for Austin and Rock to meet at the December ''Vengeance'' event where both would fight to unify the championships, Vince persuaded Flair to make it a tournament and inserted heel challengers Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle into the mix. Vince ultimately got not just the literal last laugh on WCW, but on Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock as well, as both men would lose their world titles to Chris Jericho on the same night, ending two of his Attitude Era rivalries in one fell swoop and in triumph. You don't cross the boss!
* The final Pay Per View under the World Wrestling Federation name, ''Backlash'' 2002, saw Hulkamania run wild once more with Hulk Hogan defeating Triple H to claim the Undisputed WWF Championship, fittingly ending the WWF on a high note with arguably the champion that put the organization on the map. The same night, The Undertaker defeated Steve Austin to become the number one contender, and the following month at the first Pay Per View under the World Wrestling Entertainment brand name, Undertaker would defeat Hogan for the title with a little assistance from Vince Mcmahon. This would be Hogan's last ever world title reign in any organization.

*** When it continues as tale type ATU 403, "The Black and the White Bride", the heroine is replaced by her stepsister and ''killed'', depending on the variant. Fortunately, the heroine goes through a cycle of metamorphoses until she gains human form again and unmasks the impostor. Examples: ''Literature/TamCam'' (Vietnam).

*** If the tale segues into tale type ATU 709A, "The Sister of Nine Brothers", the girl searches for coal with a ghoul or other creature, who goes after her to devour her, but is defeated by the brothers. However, a body part of the ghoul (such as a nail) remains lodged in the girl's skin and she falls into a death-like sleep. She is eventually saved when her bier or coffin tumbles to the ground and dislodges the ghoul's nail, reviving her.

* The 2023 Two-Night spectacular ''Wrestlemania 39'' concluded it's first evening with Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens toppling their arch-rivals The Usos and winning the Unified World Tag Team championships, putting an end to over two years of dominance by the heel tag team, and teasing the inevitable collapse of their dominant faction The Bloodline to fans. However, by the end of night two, despite last minute intervention by Sami and Kevin, the Usos are able to repel them and help Roman Reigns defeat Cody Rhodes to retain the Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Championship, ensuring the Bloodline remained at the top of the mountain. It wouldn’t be until five months later that the Usos finally quit the Bloodline- but Roman still has their brother Solo under his wing. And even then, that only lasted for three months before Jimmy rejoined them anyway.
