WWF One Night Only, was a pay-per-view event broadcast September 20, 1997 on Sky Box Office from the NEC Arena in Birmingham, England.
The show was shown on pay-per-view in Canada and Europe, although it was initially billed as a European only show. The WWF stated that the reasoning behind the decision was pressure from Bret Hart to allow his Canadian fans to see him in action. The event took place in England due to its popularity there; the competing World Championship Wrestling was more popular in the United States at the time. WCW Monday Nitro never beat WWF RAW in the ratings war in the UK[citation needed].
This pay-per-view was also the official beginning of D-Generation X.[citation needed]
