The Hardys vs Haas & Benjamin (TWGTT)

Tag Team Chapionship Ladder Match

The Hardys def. TWGTT to retain the Tag Team titles.

Cade & Murdoch congratulated The Hardy’s on a match well fought last night. They asked the Hardy’s when they asked when they could have a shot. The Hardy’s said they definitely deserved a shot and offered one tonight but Cade and Murdoch declined and said they only wanted one when the Hardy’s were 100%. Vince walked up and spoiled the party, making a tag championship match for later tonight between the two teams. Cade & Murdoch looked despondent.

World Tag Team Championship
The Hardy Boyz v. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch

The Hardy’s look a tad banged up. Cade and Murdoch didn’t look like they were crazy about being there either. They shook hands and here we go.

Matt grabbed an inside cradle for a near fall before almost getting another pin fall with a back slide. Murdoch called Cade back to the corner to regroup before he and Matt locked it up again.

Cade grabbed a shoulder block but on the second attempt found himself back body dropped. Matt tagged in Jeff who entered the ring gingerly before the two hit a double team for a near fall.

Jeff grabbed an arm wringer of his own before Matt tagged in and hit an axe handle on Cade’s shoulder. The two made another tag and Jeff leapfrogged off Matt and clattered into Murdoch for a near fall. Cade missed a move and he and his partner ended up on the outside. Jeff flung himself over the top and into Murdoch on the outside.

Jeff made the tag and was screaming about his knee as we went to commercial break.

****Commercial****

Looks like Jeff has tweaked the knee and Matt is taking a beating on the inside. Matt went for an axe handle off the top but Murdoch yanked him off, literally. Cade tagged in and hit a body slam and dropped a nasty knee into the small of the back of Matt. Cade kept up the punishment before tagging his partner back into the match.

Cade tagged in and dropped an elbow on Matt’s ribs, getting a two count on the cover. Hardy hit a kick to the face on the irish whip, but Cade connected with a grizzly spine buster for a pair of two counts.

Murdoch tagged in and hit a snap mare and cinched in a reverse bear hug. The crowd rallied behind Matt and he was eventually able to hit a reverse DDT and created some distance. Matt made the tag to the clearly injured Jeff. Jeff came in a house of fire and cleaned house on the challengers. Jeff looked for the swanton bomb but Murdoch caught him at the top rope. Matt cleared out Murdoch and hit the side effect on Cade.

Murdoch dragged Hardy out of the ring but Jeff was already re-perched on the top rope. Jeff missed the swanton bomb allowing Cade to get the cover. Jeff looked like he may have had the foot on the ropes. Nonetheless, the ref counted three and we’ve got new champs.

Jeff Hardy vs Elijah Burke vs Batista
Even if Batista’s drafted, he still has his shot against Edge. Looks like Batista will probably get drafted.

The three sized each other up before Hardy chased Burke to the outside and tossed him in the ring for Batista to chomp. Batista picked him up and killed him with a power slam before Jeff Hardy broke up the count.

Batista bum rushed Jeff in the corner and killed him with a few shoulder thrusts before taking his head off with a lariat. He set up for the Batista bomb but Hardy countered with a hurricanranna. Batista eventually caught Hardy and went for the power slam but Hardy hit whisper in the wind. Hardy hit the Swanton and went for the cover but Burke yanked him off in the nick of time.

Hardy hit a cork screw and drop kick in the corner before looking for another Swanton bomb but missed.

Batista turned Hardy inside out before he gathered Burke and loaded up for a Batista bomb and dropping him on the back of his head. That’s that.

Winner: Batista via pin fall

Daivari v. Jeff Hardy

The two locked up and Daivari hit a knee to the gut and some clubbing blows to Jeff’s back. Jeff avoided an elbow and hit a nice takedown before body slamming the former Smackdown Cruserweight. Daivari sprung to his feet quickly and crotched Hardy on the top rope.

Winner: Jeff Hardy via pin fall

Cade grabbed the mic and said he had something to say. He said they played by the rules week in and week out and responded to the Hardy’s ‘gross misrepresentation of sportsmanship’ by protecting themselves. The promo didn’t go on very long before Jeff launched himself over the top rope and to the floor. Cade and Murdoch were furious.
