Jeff Hardy and CM Punk's chemistry in the ring is electric! Very few feuds can get a crowd worked up - but HARDY and PUNK is one for the ages.It is a battle between two lifestyles: The Pious Punk believes that Straight-Edge is the way of life - alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs have never entered his system; then there's the Enigmatic Hardy's belief of Living for the Moment - all the habits that people have it's what makes us different and its a real and beautiful thing about life.
CM Punk wants to rid the WWE once and for all, the stain that Hardy's bad habits have had on the WWE Universe and destroy the Living for the Moment "crap" because there is only one way of living and that's Straight-Edge.
Jeff Hardy stood high atop the ladder and declared that CM Punk could not destroy everything that he has built in his 10-year career (yet, there is that gap of years where he was fired and joined TNA - but that's neither here nor there).
Punk demeaned his way of life and asked Hardy if he thinks he can fly - but Hardy responded, "I don't think that I can fly, my spirit KNOWS it can fly!"
CM Punk tried knocking Hardy out of the ring by tipping over the ladder, but Jeff managed to jump off and deliver a Twist of Fate to Punk - but not without yielding to a falling ladder to the top of the head.
But at the top of the segment, Jeff went on about how his doctors told him he should give up and quit pro wrestling before it is too late. And he goes on about that he is never one to listen to doctor's orders and he does not intend on starting now. What could this mean Jeff?
It's been on everyone's minds for months, when was Jeff actually leaving the company to pursue other endeavors.
Many see SummerSlam as Jeff's final ppv - Then that must mean he'll definitely lose the title tonight, right???
Well, the strange thing is Matt Hardy wrote on his twitter acct - @JEFFHARDYBRAND The time is near for the Hardy Empire to begin.. Starting with the Charismatic Enigma.. 8/25/09
Matt wrote this to his brother Jeff, but what Hardy Empire? The date mentioned is the taping of Smackdown following SummerSlam. So does this mean Jeff will keep his title come SummerSlam and then have a title match: brother vs. brother for the World Heavyweight Title?
It would actually be a nice send off for Jeff - who better to carry on the World Heavyweight Title than Matt Hardy?
Matt's jealousy started during Jeff's feud with Triple H for the WWE Championship - because he's the older one, why is Jeff getting all these World Title matches? And then when Jeff finally won at Armageddon 2008, Matt finally snapped.
But on Smackdown, Matt and Jeff are finally at peace. And as seen in the six man tag match, The Hardys are finally unified.
Yet... again Matt wrote something else on his Twitter acct - Here's an update for the "sheets" -Jeff & I might not team again due to pursuing singles careers. And Jeff will be with WWE after Summerslam.
Most people see this as a confirmation that Jeff Hardy has resigned with the WWE. But, I don't know... seeing as the Hardy Empire will begin 8/25/09? Will Jeff remain with the WWE and continue as the World Heavyweight Champion, while Matt goes on to rebuild his career - possibly become the Intercontinental Champion? Because Matt, in order to become a Grand Slam Champion, must become the IC Champion and then pursue the World Heavyweight Championship.
In the Grand Slam Championship regulations: The ECW and United States Championships do not qualify for the recoginition. However, Matt is almost there since he has 2 of the 4 titles neccessary: The World or WWE Tag Team Titles and The European Title.
The Six Man Tag Team match was one for the future DVD collections - when the Hardys had reformed before it was under Jeff's theme song, but on Smackdown it was to the old school The Hardy Boyz Entrance Theme. I thought that entrance theme was gone forever - but it's very much alive and returned for one night only.
The Hardys haven't lost a step as they executed Poetry in Motion on a cornered CM Punk. However, John Morrison didn't see much in-ring action for a good part of the match, because the audience were happy to see the Hardys team up once again.
Yet, when John Morrison did enter the ring, he made an impact - with his flying Chuck Kick, the Standing Shooting Star Press, and other insane high flying manuevers. Morrison even cleaned out the ring, getting rid of The Hart Dynasty and preforming a corkscrew over the ring and unto Smith and Kidd.
Thanks to Morrison, Jeff was able to get Punk with the Hangman over the top rope, leaving Matt to execute The Twist of Fate and pinning Punk for the win.
Matt Hardy was something else tonight. Not only has be patched things with his brother, but he pinned the #1 Contender for Jeff's World Heavyweight Championship.
The Question is: Will Matt and Morrison make their presence felt this Sunday in the TLC Match, since J.R. mentioned earlier that TLC Matches is a no disqualification setting, where ANYTHING can go?
