Jeff Hardy v. Lance Cade

The two locked up and Cade immediately overpowered him and bullied him into the corner. Cade hit a nasty kick to the gut and hit a mean clubbing blow to the back. Cade took his time and hit a mean looking body slam and let the crowd absorb it. Hardy avoided Cade in the corner and hit whisper in the wind and a nifty 360 leg drop that bought him a one count.

Cade retreated underneath the ropes but Hardy came out and quickly tossed him back in the ring. Hardy tried to fight Cade off in the ring but Cade managed to toss him to the outside where partner Trevor Murdoch could do some damage. The referee was smart though and jumped between them. Hardy drop kicked Murdoch to the guard rail but almost found himself on the receiving end of a back drop suplex. Hardy flipped out but immediately ate a size 15 right in the face.

Cade stomped away on Hardy in the corner and distracted the referee while Murdoch got in some cheap shots. Cade bullied Hardy into the corner and hit some nasty looking punches before flat backing his opponent with a forearm to the face which got him a two count.

Cade hit a body slam and went looking for an elbow but missed. Hard hit his reverse mule kick and slammed Cade’s face off the buckles in the corner. Cade hit a snap mare and went for a cover but only got two. Cade was furious with the official before going back to beating on Hardy. Jeff hit a kick to the face and a jaw breaker which staggered Cade. Hardy hit a running forearm and some clotheslines and a swinging neck breaker.

Hardy ascended the top rope and went for the swanton bomb but was briefly distracted by Trevor Murdoch long enough to enable Cade to get his knees up. Cade hit a NASTY lariat out of the corner that completely cold cocked Jeff and left him out on the mat. Three seconds later, Cade was the winner.

Winner: Lance Cade via pin fall

Matt Hardy (w/ Jeff Hardy) v. Trevor Murdoch (w/ Lance Cade)

The two circled it up and locked horns. Murdoch bullied Hardy to the corner before the official broke them up. Murdoch ran his mouth a little bit and nailed Hardy in the back with some clubbing forearms. Murdoch grabbed a headlock but was thrown off and arm dragged to the mat. Hardy followed the drag up with a body slam and went for a quick cover but didn’t have anything going. Hardy scaled the second rope, but Murdoch was able to cut him off and slam him to the mat, before laying some vicious boots to Hardy’s midsection. Murdoch eventually grabbed a sleeper hold but couldn’t work Hardy down to the mat to gain leverage. Matt Hardy began building some momentum before Murdoch cut him off. Murdoch missed a top rope elbow drop before Hardy hit a forearm to his face. Matt followed the forearms up with the whip and bulldog combo out of the corner for a near fall. Hardy connected with a side effect before going for another cover but again, got nothing. Hardy jumped to the second rope and hit a leg drop, but Lance Cade showed up out of nowhere and interfered, distracting Hardy long enough for Murdoch to hit his finisher for the win.

Winner: Trevor Murdoch via pin fall

JEFF HARDY VS. JOHNNY NITRO

Jeff Hardy defeated Johnny Nitro. Cade & Murdoch were on commentary and were putting over how they enjoyed the competition from the Hardy’s and generally speaking, were being very baby-face-ish. They went to shake Hardy’s hand after the match and Hardy refused.
