Jeff Hardy’s music played and he came out to the ring. Edge ran up one side and down the other calling him and his brother talent-less and that if he wasn’t careful, he’d ruin Jeff’s career much like he did Matt’s. Jeff took a swing, flooring the champion and then a nice corkscrew dropkick to put him on his back. Jeff climbed the ropes looking for a Swanton, but Edge rolled out of the ring and ran off to the back.

JEFF HARDY VS. EDGE

Hardy came right at Edge, drop kicking him through the ropes and then flying over the top rope and body pressing him to the floor. Jeff continued his assault, going for a pin fall but only getting a two count. Edge tossed Hardy off the ropes and tossed him to the outside of the ring.

Edge flung Hardy into the ring steps before tossing him back into the ring. Edge planted Hardy with a kick to the face before goading the crowd for a bit. Edge punched away at Hardy, sending him to the mat and followed up with a leg drop. Edge brought Hardy to the ring post and stretched his back across it from the outside of the ring.

Edge whipped Hardy to the belt, but caught a boot on the way in. Hardy followed with a clothesline and went for the Swanton bomb, but Edge rolled out of the way. Hardy dropped a leg drop and managed a near fall. Hardy came charging at the Champion, but Edge countered with a powerslam and got a near fall of his own.

Edge rammed Hardy’s face into the turnbuckles before Hardy came spinning off the ropes with a cork-screw senton, catching the champion off guard. Hardy got another near fall before the two exchanged blows in the middle of the ring. Hardy sent Edge off the ropes and took him down on his way back through and another near fall ensued.

Hardy pressed the advantage, assaulting Edge in the corner before nailing a twist of fate. Hardy scaled the ropes and hit a Swanton Bomb. He went for the cover but Lita pulled Edge’s foot under the ropes breaking up the cover attempt. Lita clocked Hardy in the face causing the Disqualification.

Winner: Jeff Hardy via DQ

#1 CONTENDERS (IC TITLE) MATCH

Perhaps if the Legend Killer were more focused on his No. 1 Contender’s Match against Jeff Hardy, he would be gearing up for the opportunity to become a two-time Intercontinental Champion. Fortunately for Jeff Hardy, who is riding the momentum of a successful return to WWE, he was able to stay ahead of Orton and gain a pinfall via the Twist of Fate and a Swanton Bomb after Carlito came to the ring, spit apple in Orton’s face and indirectly cost the Legend Killer the match.
