Runnels began a rivalry with The Kat, and at WrestleMania 2000, Runnels (accompanied by The Fabulous Moolah) defeated The Kat (with Mae Young) in a catfight.[18] Val Venis was the Special Guest Referee, but was distracted when Young kissed him in response to Venis making out with both Runnels and The Kat.[18] This distraction allowed Moolah to pull The Kat out of the ring, and when Venis saw her out of the ring, he declared Runnels the winner.[18] Post-match, The Kat attacked Runnels by stripping her black body suit off to expose her nude colored thong.[18] The rivalry continued in an arm wrestling match at Insurrextion.[19] They later participated in a "Stink Face match" at SummerSlam, which The Kat won by first performing the move on Runnels.[20][21]
