“No. Matt hardy has nicer hands.”

Judgment Day

The Hardys def. Cade & Murdoch to retain the tag team titles.

The Hardy Boyz v. Kenny Dykstra & Johnny Nitro

Nitro distracted Matt just long enough for Kenny to take the initiative and mug half of the tag champs. Kenny slapped on a sling shot and Nitro decked Matt back before shooting over the top rope and hitting an elbow drop, a pretty nifty double team. Nitro slapped on a front face lock which Matt fought out of. The two exchanged some moves before Matt hit a clothesline and tagged in brother Jeff.

Jeff moved fast and decked both Nitro and Kenny before planting Nitro with a double drop kick to his face and going for a cover. Jeff looked for the Swanton bomb, but Kenny distracted him long enough to enable Nitro to get up on the top rope. Jeff pushed him off and came sailing over his head and hit a roll up for a three count.

Winners: The Hardy Boyz via pin fall

The Hardys and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs. World's Greatest Tag Team and Johnny Nitro & Kenny Dykstra

the talented Hardys along with Cade & Murdoch used their patented maneuvers to conquer The Worlds Greatest Tag Team and Johnny Nitro & Kenny Dykstra in an Eight-Man Tag Team Match. Immediately following the pin, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas claimed that because they were not the ones pinned, they deserved an opportunity to face The Hardys for their World Tag Team Championships. Never a tag team to back down from a challenge, The Hardys agreed to a match at One Night Stand and added an additional challenge to the mix: the contest would be a Ladder Match!
