Description

No Way Out (2000) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which took place on February 27, 2000, at the Hartford Civic Center in Hartford, Connecticut. It was presented by PhoneFree.com. It was the first event produced under the No Way Out name, although it was preceded in 1998 by an event named No Way Out of Texas.

The main event was a Hell in a Cell match, a match where the ring and ringside area was surrounded by a 20-foot-high roofed steel cell between WWF Champion Triple H and Cactus Jack. The featured bout on the undercard was a singles match for a championship match at WrestleMania 2000.

The main feud going into No Way Out was between Triple H and Cactus Jack fighting over the WWF Championship inside a Hell in a Cell. The feud started after Triple H defeated his father-in-law Mr. McMahon at Armageddon in a No Holds Barred match and also winning the WWF title from Big Show on Raw Is War only a few weeks later. These events would start the McMahon-Hemesly Era with his wife Stephanie McMahon. Mankind would rebel against this new era and would receive attacks from D-X and Triple H. Mick Foley would drop the Mankind character to Cactus Jack. At the Royal Rumble, Triple H and Cactus Jack would fight in a Street Fight match for the WWF Championship, which was won by Triple H. The next night on Raw Is War, Triple H would grant Cactus another chance at the title at No Way Out and that the match can be any kind he wants. Cactus would later decide that the match would be a Hell in a Cell. Triple H said that it was deal only if he would put his career on the line, which he would agree to. Over the next few weeks, Triple H would start predicting that he would end the fifteen-year career of Mick Foley.

Another feud heading into No Way Out was between The Rock and Big Show over who should get the chance to face for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania 2000. The feud began at the Royal Rumble in the Royal Rumble match, The Rock and Big Show were the last two competitors in the match both trying to throw each other over the rope. Both wrestlers fell out of the ring hitting the floor, with The Rock hitting the floor first, but the officials thought Big Show hit the ground first, making The Rock the winner of the Royal Rumble. The next night on Raw Is War, Big Show complained that it was no fair that nobody saw what happened so he got evidence and sent it to Triple H, who would later make a match between The Rock and Big Show at No Way Out where the winner would get a WWF Championship title shot at WrestleMania.
