What should have been an emotional week for Hardy turned ugly on Friday Night when CM Punk viciously attacked the exhausted Enigma.After months of contending for the gold, Hardy fulfilled a lifetime dream by capturing the World Heavyweight Title, and last night Hardy would have to put that title on the line against "The Guru of Greatness" John Morrison.
Jeff mentioned in his opening remarks that John Morrison is one of the best that he has ever fought in the squared circle and that tonight it would be the greatest main event that will not only ignite Smackdown but the whole WWE UNIVERSE!
Interviewed by ECW's Josh Matthews, John Morrison proclaimed that Jeff Hardy is known for being the risk taker-putting everything on the line, and tonight he would do the same. He quoted Jeff Hardy - Tonight I'm the one who has nothing to lose.
Truer words were never spoken - as these two men clashed with death-defying moves leaving the Smackdown audience speechless.
The Shaman and the Enigma went through a roller coaster ride of maneuvers - Morrison, at one point, went for the cover with a standing Monkey Flip! It has not been said enough that Morrison's abdominal core is what makes him so deadly in the ring.
The two men know each other so well - countering one another's moves. Jeff tried to go for the sub-atomic leg drop, but was stopped short by Morrison.
Jeff Hardy attempted to end the match with a Twist of Fate and a Swanton Bomb - But Morrison kicked out! - As J.R. shouted - No one has ever kicked out of the Swanton Bomb!
Morrison tried going for the win with Star-Ship Pain, but Hardy blocked with a double knee lift.
With an ailing Morrison, Jeff Hardy went for the Twist of Fate-Swanton Bomb combination - and as he soared through the air for the second time - HARDY would get the pin and retain HIS World Heavyweight Championship.
This is the first-time that Jeff Hardy has defended a World Title successfully - His first title defense was at the Royal Rumble 2009 against Edge - he lost the WWE Championship with interference from his brother Matt; and the second time was against CM Punk's MitB Briefcase after his ladder match with Edge at Extreme Rules 2009.
As the crowds cheered for Hardy, the hardcore riffs of "This Fire Burns" blared through the speakers, with CM Punk going out to congratulate the winner.
CM Punk does not believe that Jeff was the better man at Night of Champions - and after raising Jeff's hand in victory, he struck Hardy with the microphone.
He uncontrollably attacked Hardy with vicious rights and lefts - slamming him against the retaining walls - putting him in the Inverted Anaconda Vice - and finally tossing him over the announce table.
As Punk attacked Jeff from the second retaining wall - Hardy's forehead was Crimson, possibly from the mic-shot at the start of the assault. This comes as a shock, since WWE is currently a PG-Rated program - no blood has been shown. Possibly, the WWE writers are finally getting some leeway of the content of the show.
The Main-Event match on Smackdown along with the Assault from CM Punk is the reason why Smackdown is the most dominating brand as of this moment.
An Announcement - CM Punk, as of last night, has finally turned HEEL!
