that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing feuds, plots, and storylines
that were played out on Raw is War
and SmackDown—World Wrestling Federation
's (WWF) television programs. Wrestlers portrayed a villain
or a hero
as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches.
The main rivalry
heading into the event was between Triple H
, The Rock, Mankind
, Kane
, Big Show
and The Undertaker over the vacant WWF Championship
. At SummerSlam
, Mankind defeated Stone Cold Steve Austin
and Triple H in a Triple Threat match for Austin's WWF title, only to lose it to Triple H, the following night on Raw is War
. On September 13 edition of Raw is War, the WWF CEO Linda McMahon
announced that Rock, Kane, Mankind, Big Show and Undertaker would compete in a 5-Way match to determine the #1 contender for the title at Unforgiven. However, the match resulted in a no contest after Mideon
and Viscera
attacked Mankind. As a result, all the five wrestlers attacked several WWF referees
and many of the WWF wrestlers interfered in the brawl. As a result of the attack, the referees went on an on-screen
strike and all the five competitors were named contenders for the title, making it a Six Pack Challenge for the title at Unforgiven, meaning that two wrestlers would begin the match and a wrestler could become legal if he was tagged in. On September 16 edition of SmackDown, the WWF Chairman Vince McMahon
defeated Triple H for the WWF title, with the help of his son Shane
who served as the special guest referee for the match. However, Vince vacated the title on September 20 edition of Raw is War and named Triple H as the sixth competitor in the Six Pack Challenge at Unforgiven. On September 23 edition of SmackDown, Undertaker was fired by Vince for refusing to wrestle Triple H in a Casket match and his spot in the Six-Pack Challenge at Unforgiven was vacated (in reality, Undertaker had suffered a groin injury and needed time to recover). British Bulldog
was named the official replacement for Undertaker in the WWF Championship match at Unforgiven.
Another predominant rivalry heading into the event was between Al Snow
and The Big Boss Man
over the WWF Hardcore Championship
. At SummerSlam, Snow defeated Boss Man to win the Hardcore Championship. The following night on Raw is War, Snow was attacked by Boss Man during a title defense against Road Dogg
, who had left the match to brawl with Chris Jericho
. Boss Man stole Snow's dog Pepper and escaped with it. On August 26 edition of SmackDown, Boss Man defeated Snow to win the title and escaped with Pepper. On September 2 edition of SmackDown, Snow ate some food until Boss Man told him that it was Pepper. On September 9 edition of SmackDown, British Bulldog defeated Boss Man for the title and awarded it to Snow. On September 13 edition of Raw is War, Snow challenged Boss Man to a Kennel from Hell match for the Hardcore Championship at Unforgiven, which Boss Man accepted.
At SummerSlam, Mark Henry
turned on his partner D'Lo Brown
by costing him the WWF Intercontinental Championship
and the WWF European Championship
against Jeff Jarrett
. The next night on Raw is War, Jarrett awarded the European Championship to Henry. Henry and Brown wrestled each other in several tag team
matches and attacked each other on many occasions, leading to a European Championship match at Unforgiven.
Following his WWF Intercontinental Championship victory at SummerSlam, Jeff Jarrett offered an open contract to any WWF wrestler for an Intercontinental Championship match at Unforgiven. Chyna signed the contract but Mr. Ass
offered Chyna to hand him over the contract for the title shot but Chyna refused. On August 30 edition of Raw is War, Chyna was announced as the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship at Unforgiven. On September 2 edition of SmackDown, Chyna defeated Mr. Ass to retain her status as the #1 contender for the Intercontinental Championship.
On September 2 edition of SmackDown, a Tag Team Turmoil match was held to determine the #1 contenders for the WWF Tag Team Championship. The Acolytes
(Faarooq
and Bradshaw
) and Edge and Christian
were the remaining two teams in the match and were attacked by the debuting Dudley Boyz
(Bubba Ray and D-Von), who recently wrestled in Extreme Championship Wrestling
(ECW). As a result, the match resulted in a no contest. On September 6 edition of Raw is War, Edge and Christian defeated Acolytes to become the #1 contenders for the Tag Team Championship, after another interference by Dudley Boyz. As a result, a match was made between Dudley Boyz and Acolytes at Unforgiven. The Tag Team Championship changed hands many times after Edge and Christian were made the contenders. On September 23 edition of SmackDown, the final title change before Unforgiven occurred when New Age Outlaws
(Mr. Ass and Road Dogg) defeated Rock 'n' Sock Connection
(The Rock and Mankind) for the Tag Team Championship.
On August 26 edition of SmackDown, Luna Vachon involved herself in the WWF Women's Champion
Ivory
's Evening Gown match against Tori
. On September 6 edition of Raw is War, Luna got involved in a brawl between Ivory and Tori. A week later on Raw is War, Luna was attacked by Ivory during her match with Jeff Jarrett. This led to a match between Ivory and Luna for the Women's Championship at Unforgiven. On September 23 edition of SmackDown, Luna offered to make their Women's Championship, a Hardcore match
which Ivory accepted.
At SummerSlam, Ken Shamrock
defeated Steve Blackman
in a Lion's Den match. On September 2 edition of SmackDown, Blackman tried to attack Shamrock after Shamrock's match with Val Venis
but Shamrock attacked Blackman. When Blackman recovered, he put out his anger on Venis by attacking him. On September 6 edition of Raw is War, Blackman attacked Venis again after Venis' match against Big Show. Venis took his revenge by costing Blackman, a WWF European Championship match against Mark Henry and a standard match against Shawn Stasiak
, leading to a match between Venis and Blackman at Unforgiven.
At SummerSlam, Road Dogg announced that he would challenge the winner of the WWF Hardcore Championship match between Al Snow and Big Boss Man on the following night on Raw is War. However, Road Dogg was interrupted by Chris Jericho and as a result, Jericho and Road Dogg began feuding with each other. During Road Dogg's scheduled Hardcore Championship match against Al Snow on Raw is War, Jericho began brawling with Road Dogg. As a result, the match resulted in a no contest.

Jericho was also feuding with Ken Shamrock at the time due to attacking him with a chair prior to Shamrock's scheduled match with Val Venis. It would lead to a match between the two at Unforgiven. However, on September 23 edition of SmackDown, Shamrock was badly injured after losing a First Blood match to Jericho and left WWF. As a result, X-Pac replaced Shamrock as Jericho's opponent at Unforgiven.
