In a rare simulcast between Vince McMahon and Mr. Perfect on WWF SUPERSTARS, and Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan from WWF WRESTLING CHALLENGE, the World Wrestling Federation presented a special Halloween broadcast featuring a WWF Tag Team Championship match between Champions the Natural Disasters (Earthquake and Typhoon) and Money Inc. ("Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase and Irwin R. Schyster).
While there were notable title changes that occurred on television, and important Superstar vs Superstar matchups, the broadcast of WWF SUPERSTARS on October 31, 1992, ushered in a change in format, and featured matches between WWF Superstars against each other rather than the old format of Superstars against enhancement talent (a.k.a. jobbers). While the change primarily was seen as build up to Fox's November edition of Saturday Night's Event and 1992's Survivor Series, this change in format eventually led to the format seen on Monday Night Raw which debuted two months later on the USA Network, albeit to a live audience rather than matches taped in advance as seen on WWF SUPERSTARS and WWF WRESTLING CHALLENGE.
In the weeks to follow, WWF SUPERSTARS and WWF WRESTLING CHALLENGE presented such "main event" matchups as:
- Razor Ramon vs Tito Santana (11/1/92)
- WWF Tag Team Champions Money Inc. vs High Energy (11/7/92)
- WWF Intercontinential Champion British Bulldog vs Repo Man (11/14/92)
- Shawn Michaels vs Big Boss Man (11/15/92)
- WWF Champion Bret "Hitman" Hart vs Virgil (11/21/92)
- "Nasty Boy" Jerry Sags vs the Beverly Brother Beau Beverly (11/22/92)
