WWE Intercontinental Championship
Umaga v. Jeff Hardy

Hardy came right at Umaga and of course, came up on the short end of the stick. Umaga quickly pounced on the challenger and choked Hardy on the ropes. Jeff fought back with some punches to Umaga’s gut but after coming off the ropes, was hammered down to the mat by a back elbow. Umaga hit a head butt and stomped Hardy around the ring for a little while before the big man sent him careening sternum first into the turnbuckles.

Umaga sent the challenger reeling over the ropes and to the floor, leaving him in a heap as we went to commercial break.

We came back to Umaga slapping Hardy all over the ring. He slapped on a claw move on Hardy’s shoulder, keeping him at bay on the mat. Hardy fought out of the hold somehow, but Umaga caught him coming off the ropes and planted him with a Samoan drop. Umaga scaled the ropes and went for a diving head butt, but no one was home.

Hardy began to make some inroads, hitting some flying forearms and the mule kick. He went for a sunset flip and when Umaga tried to sit out, Hardy avoided him and hit a baseball kick to the grill for a two count. Hardy kept it coming and went for a twist of fate but as Umaga pushed him off, settled for whisper in the wind instead for another near fall.

Hardy looked for a high cross body block, only to get caught in mid air and getting hit with a tilt a whirl belly to belly. Umaga scaled the ropes again but Hardy was able to cut him off and knock him to the mat, stunning him. Hardy jumped on top and BARELY grabbed the three count for the victory.

Shelton started things off with a bang, uncorking a quick flurry on punches followed by a nifty northern lights suplex. Hardy grabbed the legs and sat out on Benjamin’s groin (that sounds bad) and went for a quick cover.

The two struggled in a tie up until Hardy scored with an arm drag take down into an arm bar. Shelton reversed the hold but found himself quickly countered and back on his back on the mat. Hardy slammed Shelton into the corner and laid the boots to him briefly before eating some knees to the ribs.
