Jeff Hardy entered the ring first. After he was in the ring, Vickie Guerrero came out and said the match was a no disqualification match and went on to introduce Edge.

A "We want Christian" chant started. They'll have to settle for Matt Hardy instead. There's a surprising lack of heat. The crowd isn't dead, but quieter than you'd expect.

There was a point when Hardy and Edge were outside the ring and Hardy setup Edge on a table. He then grabbed a ladder and was going to hit a swanton from the top of the ladder when Chavo interfered. Hardy then put Chavo on the table and did a splash from the top of the ladder onto Chavo, almost slipping on the top of the ladder.

At one point, Hardy was going for the swanton and Vickie Guerrero came to ringside. Hardy kicked her off and hit the swanton but Vickie interfered before he could get the three count. Matt Hardy then came to ringside and threw Guerrero into the ring. He then grabbed a chair and handed it to Jeff. He grabbed another one for himself and it looked like they were going to do a conchairto on Edge before Matt hit Jeff with the chair. Edge went for the cover and got the three count.
