Hart continued to refuse to drop the title to Michaels, offering to lose the title anywhere in the United States prior to Survivor Series or to surrender the title to McMahon on the episode of Monday Night Raw the day after Survivor Series, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
Hart fortsatte dog med at nægte at tabe titlen til Michaels, men han tilbød, at han kunne tabe VM-bæltet hvor som helst i USA inden Survivor Series eller opgive titlen og give den til McMahon aftenen efter Survivor Series under en episode af Monday Night RAW i Ottawa, Canada.
