In Your House 7: Good Friends, Better Enemies featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds, plots, and storylines that were played out on WWF Monday Night Raw and other World Wrestling Federation television programs. Wrestlers portrayed a villain or a hero as they followed a series of events that built tension, and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches. The event was notable for being the last televised WWF event for Diesel (Kevin Nash) and Scott Hall (Scott Hall) until 2002. Both men would sign with main competitor World Championship Wrestling shortly thereafter and form the nWo with Hulk Hogan in July.
