00:00I agree
00:17He is the world heavyweight champion the rated-r superstar
00:30frustration in the eyes
00:33Embarrassment that edge
00:35Received by one Jeff Hardy earlier tonight
00:38The new world's heavyweight champion was humiliated earlier tonight by Jeff Hardy. Will we come back?
00:44Will Jeff Hardy be there again?
00:53Hey, we're gonna send a big thank you out to saliva for hunking down the official no way out theme song
01:00Very cool tune. It's off the album. Cinco Diablo available now. Well, there's a Diablo in the ring
01:06And he's gonna be hunted down by his adversary
01:12Don't know about that
01:30Jeff Hardy became the WWE champion
02:00For the first time, we move forward to the Royal Rumble when it was Ed's challenging Jeff Hardy for the WWE title.
02:07And after Jeff Hardy's old brother, Matt, vigorously stabbed Jeff in the back,
02:12it was Ed's stealing the WWE title for the lack of a better term.
02:16Well, hence that man, Ed, being deemed the ultimate opportunist.
02:20When the betrayal took place for Matt and Jeff Hardy, Ed's jumped right in there and gained the WWE Championship.
02:27And finally, and finally, ladies and gentlemen, after years of trying,
02:32young Jeff Hardy finally ascended to the top of the WWE to live his lifelong dream.
02:39Going to be double-crossed, like you said, by his brother, Matt Hardy.
02:44I'm glad I'm an only child.
02:45Yeah.
02:48I'll tell you, earlier tonight, Jeremy, we heard Jeff Hardy.
02:53He didn't mix words. He came right at Ed.
02:55He told him, listen, you're receiving special privileges because you're married.
03:00This is Jeff's words.
03:01To a pitiful excuse for a general manager, Dicky Guerrero.
03:07There's no gray area there.
03:08I'm sure there's a lot of folks out there that share Jeff's thoughts regarding our general manager.
03:13But to me, that is a match.
03:15This is a one-fall match.
03:19The world's champion.
03:22I'll tell you, Ed's better than his jets.
03:24He's too aggressive. He's too angry right now.
03:27Gotta get his head together here.
03:29It's been an amazing week for Ed.
03:32He loses and is eliminated by Jeff Hardy in the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out.
03:37The WWE title.
03:38The first man eliminated, which took less than five minutes.
03:42It was a shocking moment, in my opinion, at No Way Out.
03:45Shocking.
03:46That stinging right hand by the new world's champion,
03:49who then leverages himself back into the world title match inside the Elimination Chamber,
03:55and wins it.
03:56Wow, you can call it leverage, but when Ed said it,
03:59he kind of said he took advantage of the opportunity because Kofi couldn't, you know,
04:03wasn't able to make it in the match.
04:04We know the truth on that.
04:06We saw how Kofi got eliminated.
04:08Yeah, Edge attacked him.
04:09It was that nasty man.
04:10It was Edge.
04:11It was so blatant.
04:14And then Edge jumped in there, got right in the chamber like he was supposed to be in,
04:19you know, the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber match.
04:23It was a unique situation.
04:25The Obisos knew to do nothing but start the match, and they did that.
04:29Bottom line is, like the man or not, Edge did make history.
04:32The first superstar to compete in two Elimination Chambers in one night,
04:36and left World Heavyweight Champion.
04:38Cheap shot.
04:40Opportunistic right hand has addled Jeff Hardy,
04:45and now let's see if Edge can capitalize.
04:50Edge's wife, our general manager, made this a non-title matchup.
04:57Now, if you talk about opportunistic,
05:00what about the situation from my way out with John Cena in the Elimination Chamber
05:05and how he was eliminated.
05:07From the sequence of Chris Jericho into the 619 by Rey Mysterio.
05:15Amazing turn of events that night.
05:16A shocking moment.
05:20Jeff Hardy with the arm barred.
05:22Nice takedown.
05:24Just a cold breaker into the 619, into the spear.
05:28In less than a minute.
05:29Well, there's no human being can withstand that.
05:31Not even John Cena.
05:33But we have seen him withstand everything, seemingly.
05:38Right now, Jeff Hardy,
05:39it's not often you see Jeff Hardy with a basic fundamental wrestling hold
05:44to keep his opponent down.
05:46The thing about Jeff is he's so unpredictable in the straight circle.
05:57Hardy can beat you on the ground, Hardy can beat you in the air.
06:00Edge certainly knows that.
06:01But Jeff Hardy is less dangerous grounded.
06:11Edge calmed himself down a bit here.
06:15Except for that right there.
06:19Edge landed on his feet, didn't stay there long.
06:22Thanks to Jeff Hardy.
06:24Baseball slide.
06:27Edge was not safe at home.
06:31He's not going to be safe anywhere tonight.
06:37Jeff Hardy holding his ribs,
06:38but moving to the outside where anything can happen.
06:42Jeff Hardy not moving too swiftly, which is rare.
06:46He's meant to be aware of the referee's 10 count.
06:51What a physical match.
06:55Hardy tossing the champion back in the ring.
06:57Hardy hurting.
07:01And with a six count,
07:03Edge able to capitalize.
07:06What a neck breaker off that second rope.
07:08Is there any way Jeff Hardy can recover?
07:17We asked the question before we went to our last commercial break,
07:20if Jeff Hardy could survive, regroup, get back in this matchup.
07:24During the commercial break,
07:25it's been all Edge in this football non-title matchup.
07:28The new world champion, Edge, against Jeff Hardy.
07:34Oh, watch out, Jeff.
07:38Hardy hung up the drive with nowhere to go.
07:41The cross body by the champion.
07:42The cover.
07:43He may have it.
07:48Jeff Hardy.
07:49Yeah, look at the eyes of Edge.
07:51It's Edge must be thinking,
07:53this can't be happening again.
07:55Deja vu all over again.
07:56I can't seem to pin Jeff Hardy when I need to.
08:00That's one of the ways how Jeff Hardy,
08:02I think, unbeknownst to Jeff,
08:04is able to beat people.
08:06His resiliency, his heart, his gumption,
08:08his intestinal fortitude.
08:10And you get frustrated when you can't beat him.
08:13Edge is going back to what worked earlier,
08:15and that is his ground attack.
08:17Wrenching the neck.
08:19Well, you know, you talk about earlier, Jerry,
08:21in the early goings of this matchup,
08:23Jeff Hardy kind of picked up where he left off
08:24in the beginning of the night
08:26by embarrassing Edge.
08:28He was outwrestling Edge.
08:30But right before the commercial,
08:32Edge gained control, and here we are.
08:35With Edge doing a great body,
08:37one of Jeff's legs to prevent Jeff
08:39from getting to the rope
08:41to break his submission hold.
08:43Good strategy by the rated-R superstars.
08:49We can also, ladies and gentlemen,
08:51confirm that Triple H has told some people
08:52that he will be in Nashville, Tennessee
08:54on Monday night.
08:56He will be at Monday Night Raw
08:58as the last place,
09:02if I were Randy Orton,
09:04that I would want to be in the world.
09:06It's probably national.
09:08Yeah.
09:10And Edge has just shut down Jeff Hardy.
09:14Edge needs to take advantage here.
09:16I'm not trying to tell him how to do his business,
09:18but you give Hardy too many second chances,
09:19Yeah, well, and Edge also took a risk
09:21of being disqualified
09:23with a blatant hair-pull,
09:25hair-yank in front of the referee.
09:27Right here.
09:29This is right here.
09:31Boom, right in front of the ref.
09:33Referee got all over Edge.
09:35Judgment called by the official
09:37admonishing Edge for his actions.
09:41I would assume that one more
09:43piece of business like that,
09:45and Edge is...
09:47Yeah, it's not baseball.
09:49It's head strikes, folks.
09:51Disqualified.
09:53And he can't blame your cousin.
09:55And what a neck breaker by Edge.
09:57Now the hook of the leg.
09:59This could do it.
10:01Jeff Hardy
10:03willing himself back into the match.
10:05And again, that Edge look,
10:07that look of what the heck am I going to have to do?
10:09Watch Jeff's head, the whiplash.
10:11Watch it.
10:13Watch his head bounce.
10:15Contorting Jeff Hardy's neck and head.
10:17Hardy almost in a fetal position.
10:19Perhaps deliver a spear.
10:21I'm not sure.
10:23Could be.
10:25Watch out.
10:27Something else like a knee to the spine.
10:29Look at how tight.
10:31The head and neck of Jeff Hardy
10:33has been the object of the attack
10:35of the offensive strategy
10:37of Edge here tonight.
10:39Look at smart by Edge.
10:41It's going to eliminate Jeff Hardy's
10:43aerial arsenal and his free spirit style.
10:45It's going to shut down Jeff's recklessness.
10:50We're checking to make sure
10:52that's not a choke.
10:54It isn't?
10:56Well, from a rear shinlock,
10:58you can easily turn it into a choke.
11:01And the uncomfortable angle
11:03of the neck of Jeff Hardy.
11:05That's all of Edge's body weight
11:07on the back of the head of Jeff Hardy.
11:09Jeff now getting to a vertical base.
11:11That's good for Jeff.
11:13It was good technique by the champion as well.
11:15But Hardy just essentially
11:17wheeled himself back up
11:19and Hardy right out here
11:21in front of us.
11:23Good Lord.
11:25Jeff Hardy at a seemingly
11:27100 miles an hour.
11:29Yeah, well, the extreme style
11:31and the erratic style of Jeff Hardy
11:33kind of hit him where it hurts.
11:35So watch the velocity
11:37and watch the speed
11:39of the crash and burn.
11:41Hardy could not make an adjustment.
11:43Landed lower back and kidneys
11:45first on the floor.
11:47And Hardy now in danger
11:49to get out of harm's way.
11:51Edge needed that break.
11:53Watch the count out here,
11:55don't you?
11:57Hardy trying to pull himself up.
11:59Using her table to do so.
12:01And Hardy, my God,
12:03Hardy back in the ring
12:05beating the 10 count.
12:07And Edge not allowing any surcease,
12:09any opportunity
12:11for Jeff Hardy to regroup.
12:13Edge seemed very frustrated
12:15once Jeff Hardy beat the 10 count.
12:16I'm pretty sure that Edge
12:18wanted to get the victory
12:20any way he could.
12:22Right there.
12:24A near fall.
12:28For Edge to win this match,
12:30it would certainly
12:32put some skeletons away.
12:34It would solve some
12:36internal issues, I think,
12:38Edge has with Jeff Hardy.
12:40But on the flip side,
12:42that's the next door.
12:44Jeff Hardy, he wants to win
12:46the title.
12:48The thirst of Jeff Hardy
12:50to beat Edge
12:52is so prominent,
12:54so prevalent.
12:56And that was a great example
12:58of what we're saying,
13:00how badly Jeff Hardy
13:02wants to beat this man, Edge.
13:04The passion,
13:06the explosiveness
13:08of Jeff Hardy.
13:11What runs through the body
13:13of Jeff Hardy is
13:14beyond my descriptions.
13:17His passion,
13:19his love to compete,
13:21his desperate try to hold on
13:23to the top rope.
13:24Got him, got him!
13:25To do it!
13:31These great superstars
13:33with the same idea.
13:36Man, that was a close near fall.
13:38Referee's hand was coming down
13:40for three when Edge's shoulder
13:42was going north.
13:44Now both men again.
13:48This count out would not make
13:50either man happy.
13:57Double closeout.
13:58He said both men had the same
13:59thing in mind.
14:01Jeff had to get to a vertical
14:02base first.
14:03Both men back in it.
14:05Watch the ropes, the ropes!
14:06Edge trying to use
14:07the ropes to gain an unfair
14:08advantage.
14:10Edge doesn't understand
14:11when he gets a kill!
14:12Hardy with the roll up!
14:13Hardy with the roll up!
14:14And it is off the shoulders!
14:16My gosh!
14:17Man, Jeff almost could,
14:18Edge's sleeping at the wheel
14:19right there.
14:21But for the bottom of the ninth
14:22there's two outs.
14:23Who's gonna win?
14:24Who's gonna lose?
14:25Who's gonna go unhappy?
14:26Who's not?
14:29Jeff Hardy.
14:30Here we go!
14:32Hardy hits!
14:34Whisper in the wind
14:35will do all!
14:36Man.
14:38Six days after both these
14:39men were in the
14:40Elimination Chamber matches,
14:42Edge and two of them,
14:44they're putting their bodies
14:45on the line as we're seeing
14:46here.
14:47It's amazing.
14:48I don't think anything
14:49could stop Jeff Hardy.
14:53He gives his utmost
14:54in every match.
14:56Wrestles every match
14:57like it's his last.
15:00The charismatic Jeff Hardy
15:01building momentum.
15:03Looking for this victory.
15:05Running on pure emotion
15:06and adrenaline
15:07with the cover!
15:09And again an earful!
15:11How close was that?
15:13Man, what excitement
15:14tonight.
15:15What a match here on
15:16Friday Night Smackdown.
15:17What a great main event.
15:19This is how we roll, baby.
15:20Smackdown.
15:25Just like that,
15:26Jeff Hardy gets this
15:27huge crowd right back
15:28into the ring.
15:30He's got a lot of
15:31momentum.
15:32He gets this huge crowd
15:33right back into the
15:34action.
15:36Emotionally invested
15:37are these fans
15:38in Jeff Hardy.
15:43Resilient.
15:45Very blunt,
15:46playing counter.
15:47But so affected
15:48by the World Champion.
15:50It was a quick,
15:51sudden high boot
15:52which just stopped
15:53Jeff Hardy
15:54in his tracks.
15:56Fundamentally sound.
15:57Doesn't have to be fancy.
15:58Watch this.
16:03Definitely nothing fancy.
16:04It wasn't overthought.
16:05It wasn't
16:06a situation
16:07that Edge had to
16:08strategize.
16:09It was great reaction
16:10and a very effective
16:11maneuver that
16:12has given now
16:13Edge the advantage
16:14for who he fought.
16:17Talking about
16:18effective maneuvers.
16:21There's another one.
16:23It's over.
16:24The hook of the leg now.
16:29Edge got his foot
16:30on the bottom rope
16:31as the referee's hand
16:32had to be inches
16:33from the canvas.
16:35A decision that
16:36Jeff Hardy is questioning.
16:38The match sense
16:39by Edge to realize
16:40where his body
16:41was in the ring
16:42at that time.
16:43That was excellent.
16:53Jeff Hardy was thinking
16:55twist of fate.
16:57But the fate may be
16:58an Edge victory.
17:00Here we are.
17:02Hardy kicking out.
17:05Hardy keeping
17:06his crowd engaged.
17:08Keeping himself
17:09alive in this match.
17:13I'm telling you right now
17:14Gerald, nothing's
17:15going to stop Jeff.
17:17This has been an amazing
17:18one-on-one match
17:19here tonight.
17:20And I'm a proponent
17:21of the skills of Edge.
17:23Jeff,
17:25in my opinion,
17:26has got it together
17:27tonight.
17:28The glory again
17:29is in Edge's eyes.
17:33I don't see
17:34confliction now.
17:35I see
17:36renewed confidence.
17:37A lot of confidence.
17:41Edge is waiting
17:42for Jeff Hardy
17:43to stand.
17:44I don't think Jeff
17:45has any idea
17:46what's in store
17:47for him now.
17:49Change of Sunday!
17:50There it is!
17:51Oh!
17:52Man, that was close.
17:54I've never seen...
17:55Oh, look at this!
17:56That's how we started
17:57tonight.
17:59Twist of fate!
18:03Jeff Hardy!
18:04Here we go!
18:05Oh, come on!
18:06I'm a champion!
18:07This was done!
18:09I told you!
18:11Oh, hey, hey, hey!
18:13Jeff Hardy's running
18:14left!
18:15Twist of fate!
18:21Ladies and gentlemen,
18:22the winner of this match
18:23as a result of a
18:24disqualification
18:25is...
18:48Well, Jeff,
18:51it doesn't seem like
18:52you can get rid of the
18:54black cloud
18:55over your head.
18:59But I'm gonna give you
19:00an opportunity
19:02to turn your luck around.
19:06Because next week
19:07it's time
19:10you
19:12and me
19:14one
19:15on one!
19:24Well, we...
19:25We...
19:26I can...
19:27I'm almost speechless here.
19:28Again, Jeff Hardy's
19:29own brother.
19:31Brother Matt.
19:33Assaulting Jeff Hardy,
19:34costing Jeff a victory
19:36against Edge,
19:37and now it's gonna be
19:38the Hardy brothers
19:40against each other
19:41here next week
19:42on Friday Night SmackDown!
19:44This is surreal!
19:47Well, I said
19:48nothing could stop Jeff,
19:49but I think
19:50it's time
19:51Jeff Hardy
19:52could stop Jeff,
19:53but I was wrong.
19:54I guess another betrayal
19:55by his brother could.
20:12Oh, come on!
20:15I forgot about Edge
20:16thinking about this
20:18Jeff versus
20:19Matt Hardy
20:20match next week.
20:22And the ultimate opportunist
20:25takes complete advantage
20:27of a disabled Jeff Hardy.
