The Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy Smackdown Confrontation

Matt Hardy comes to the ring ready for this match. Jeff Hardy comes out in jeans and a flannel shirt. Not quite dressed to compete. Matt looks confused.

Jeff gets a microphone and says Matt has always been there for him and he thinks they’ve always helped each other out. Jeff says he hopes he gets over this crazy phase of his and realizes he’s done nothing to deserve this. Jeff says he’s not going to fight him – not tonight, not ever because whether Matt likes it or not, he is his brother!

Matt quickly grabs the microphone and coldly says that he is not Jeff’s brother. As far as getting over things, it’s not quite that simple. He knows he’s used to everything being about Jeff and revolving around Jeff but this isn’t about Jeff – it’s about him! He says for once it’s about Matt, about his needs, about what he needs to say. All of the fans make him sick – physically sick – when they cheer for Jeff! He’s also had to swallow the fact that his career has been mediocre while Jeff’s has skyrocketed to the top! He says he and Jeff have always known this – between the two of them, Matt is the more talented Hardy! Matt says he blames Jeff and the fans that believe Jeff’s hype!

Matt tells Jeff to fight him and tries to goad him on. He implores Jeff but he says no! Matt then slaps him and calls him a coward! Jeff still won’t so Matt gives him a VICIOUS backhand! Ouch!! Jeff leaves the ring shaking his head and with his cheeks a different shade of red. Jeff gets the fans cheering for him before shaking his head at Matt and going to the back! The fans boo Matt to end this segment.
