Over the Edge: In Your House was the first of what became an annual World Wrestling Federation pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). It was also the 22nd pay-per-view event in the In Your House series. It was presented by Castrol GTX and took place on May 31, 1998, at the Wisconsin Center Arena in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It was the first WWF pay-per-view event to have a TV Parental Guidelines rating of TV-14. The company would go on to give all of its pay-per-view events TV-14 ratings from this point through The Great American Bash 2008, with SummerSlam 2008 being the first of their pay-per-views to be rated TV-PG in over a decade.

The main event was a WWF Championship match between Stone Cold Steve Austin and Dude Love, which Austin won after overcoming bias officiating from Vince McMahon. The main match on the undercard was a Six-man tag team match between D-Generation X members Triple H, Billy Gunn, and Road Dogg against The Nation members Owen Hart, Kama Mustafa, and D'Lo Brown, which The Nation won after Hart delivered a Pedigree on Triple H onto one of the WWF Tag Team Championship belts.
