Match begins with Show trying to corner Jeff, but the rainbow haired warrior hits and runs behind the giant. Jeff tries doing the same again, but this time, he is clubbed in the back and then sent to the corner. Here, Show rips Jeff’s shirt off and slaps him across the chest. Show then lifts Jeff up and Jeff punches Show a few times, but Show quickly takes him down with a shoulder block. Following this, Show steps on top Jeff and proceeds to slap him across the chest once more. Show then head-butts Jeff right out of the ring. As Show attempts to grab Jeff, the charismatic enigma chokes the giant on the ropes. Jeff quickly gets in the ring and tries to capitalize on the stunned Show, but Show retaliates with another head-butt. Show then gives Jeff a big leg drop. After a 2 count, Show gives Jeff a side kick before capping off the punishment with a two handed choke bomb. With Jeff using the ropes to make it back to his feet, Show charges at him with a big boot, but Jeff dodges it and Show gets tied up on the ropes. Jeff then dropkicks Show and then does it again. Then, Jeff attempts a spear, but Show quickly gets off of the ropes and hurls Jeff straight onto the outside floor!

Back, Show is in control as he has a nerve hold applied. The referee checks up on Jeff, but Jeff refuses to give up. Finally, with the crowd behind him, Jeff hits a stunner like maneuver to stun the giant. Jeff then attempts a Twist of Fate, but Show lifts Jeff and throws him down to the mat with emphasis. At this point, Show climbs onto the middle rope and attempts a body splash, but Jeff moves out of the way. Jeff then DDT’s the giant and it looks like Jeff is going to go up for the Swanton Bomb! However, Matt Hardy comes running down to the ring, but Jeff punches him back out onto the floor. With Big Show crawling to get back up, Jeff catapults off of Show and dives out of the ring and onto Matt, thus eliminating the older Hardy from the equation. Jeff then slowly gets back into the ring and tries for the Whisper in the Wind on Big Show, but Show catches Jeff and drills him unconscious with the KO Punch. Show pins Jeff and the match is over.

Post-Match: Show celebrates his victory and heads to the back. Matt Hardy then gets up and into the ring. He then slaps the downed Jeff several times and proceeds on hitting a leg drop on his younger brother at least eight times! Matt concludes the segment by standing on Jeff’s chest, raising his hand up.
