His plan was a DQ fuck finish and for WWF to announce Bret had willingly vacated the title the next night during Raw. He was allowed creative control as per his contract so he was within his means to demand this. However, what he didn't know is that WWF contracts are illegal on purpose so if you come down on them over them, they can point out that if anything in the contract is undefendable in court then the entire contract is null and void. So, in short, Shawn Michaels couldn't outdraw the nWo and WWF didn't get hot again until Steve Austin became the guy who hated his boss.
