In Your House 3 (retroactively titled In Your House 3: Triple Header)[2] was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which took place on September 24, 1995, at the Saginaw Civic Center in Saginaw, Michigan. The show was the third ever "In Your House" Pay-Per-View (PPV) show produced by the WWF, special events designed to be less costly than the WWF's "Big Five" annual PPVs.

The main event of the show featured all three active championships in the WWF at the time being defended. The WWF World Heavyweight Champion Diesel teamed up with the WWF Intercontinental Champion Shawn Michaels and they were slated to take on the reigning WWF Tag Team Champions Yokozuna and Owen Hart in a match where the person who was pinned would lose the championship. As part of the storyline the WWF replaced Owen Hart with The British Bulldog, due to Hart's wife being in labor. In the end Owen Hart did appear at the show and was pinned to end the match, but since he was not deemed the legal man in the match, the next night on Raw, the WWF Tag Team Championship was awarded back to Hart and Yokozuna.

The PPV portion of the show featured six matches in total and the WWF held four additional matches that were only seen by the people in the arena. With the launch of the WWE Network in 2014 the PPV section became available to subscribers to view on demand.

Background

The professional wrestling matches at In Your House 3 featured professional wrestlers performing as characters in scripted events pre-determined by the hosting promotion, World Wrestling Federation (WWF). Storylines between the characters played out on WWF's primary television programs, Monday Night Raw.[3][4]

Event

In the main event, three championships were on the line: Diesel's WWF World Heavyweight Championship, Shawn Michaels' WWF Intercontinental Championship, and Yokozuna and Owen Hart's WWF Tag Team Championship. If Diesel had been pinned, he would have lost the WWF World Heavyweight Championship and if Michaels had been pinned he would have lost the Intercontinental Championship. On the night of the show the WWF announced that The British Bulldog had to replace Owen Hart in the match, as Hart was with his wife at the hospital, as she was giving birth to their second child.[1] Near the end of the match it was revealed that this was just a storyline as Owen Hart rushed to the ring in full wrestling gear and interfered in the match. Moments later Diesel pinned Owen Hart to win the match and supposedly win the tag team championship, but it was later announced that while Diesel and Michaels did win the match they did not win the tag team championship as Owen Hart was not the legal man in the match.[1]

Aftermath

The following month's In Your House, In Your House 4 or October 22, 1995, saw Diesel successfully defend the WWF World Heavyweight Championship against the British Bulldog as they concluded the storyline feud between the two that had been building since the Bulldog turned on Diesel in August of that year.[5] At the same show it was revealed that Shawn Michaels was unable to compete after being in a fight with a number of Marines and he had to forfeit the WWF Intercontinental Championship to Dean Douglas.[5] Yokozuna and Owen Hart were given the tag team championship belts back after In Your House 3, but lost them to The Smoking Gunns (Billy and Bart Gunn) a short time later.
