Judgment Day: In Your House was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by World Wrestling Federation (WWF), which took place on October 18, 1998 at the Rosemont Horizon in Rosemont, Illinois. It was the first pay-per-view titled Judgment Day as WWF were uniquely naming all pay-per-views under the In Your House banner. When this pattern stopped in 2000, Judgment Day was one of the In Your House titles picked to be used on an annual basis. Nine professional wrestling matches were scheduled on the event's card. The main event saw (fictional) brothers The Undertaker and Kane fighting each other, despite their alliance at the time, for the WWF Championship which was vacant at the time after company owner Vince McMahon stripped former champion Steve Austin to further the storyline. Austin was made special guest referee for the match, a role he was not keen to accept. As well as this match, the card featured four other championship matches, and had the WWF Woman's Championship not been reinstated only the month before the event would have comprehensively featured all the active WWF championships.
