Start of Show

Matt Hardy’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring with a smug look on his face, obviously gloating over defeating his brother in an Extreme Rules Match. He opens up by saying simply, “WrestleMania moments.” He mentions that there were a lot of great, unbelievable WrestleMania moments created this past Sunday – a lot of memories and images that will burnt inside the heads of fans for eternity. He mentions that Undertaker and Shawn Michaels had what a lot of people are calling the great WrestleMania match of all time this past Sunday. But one thing that isn’t disputable was that the absolute greatest WrestleMania moment of ALL TIME happened last Sunday when Matt Hardy beat the Extreme Enigma in an Extreme Rules Match in the most extreme way possible with an Extreme TWIST OF FATE. Matt says that means that Jeff is nothing more than an extreme disappointment for all the 72,000 fans of his at WrestleMania.

Matt says for years he’s been looked upon as “the other Hardy.” But after all the talk, all the false promises, he knew all it would take was one extreme beating and three seconds and he proved to each and every one of us that he is the superior Hardy and he always has been! The crowd boos and he says that we know it. Matt says that beating Jeff isn’t enough – it will never be enough. As long as there is a little boy wearing his silly armbands and doing Jeff’s hand gesture – he then points out some guy in the audience doing that, commenting that he looks ridiculous – as long as there is a little girl chanting Jeff’s name and dreaming about touching Jeff’s arm as he walks to the ring, it will never be enough. He has to erase Jeff from the WWE! Until there is only one Hardy in the WWE, Jeff will have to look over his shoulder for the rest of his life because he won’t stop or quit. He’ll be there – in every stairwell, around every corner, and he’ll be waiting on him at the end of every party. Matt says this is how it has to end. Matt then says for once in Jeff’s life to make a good decision – a smart decision. Come down to the ring and apologize to his people for being a disappointment! Then apologize to HIM for attempting to be his brother! If Jeff doesn’t, he promises this, he’ll leave the ring strapped to a stretcher and he will never, ever wrestle again! Matt tells him to be a man – come down to this ring and admit to each and every one of his people that he’s never been more than an extreme disappointment!

The crowd chants for Jeff and he doesn’t keep them waiting. He walks out to the stage to a thunderous applause. He walks slowly down to the ring and then runs in as Matt quickly exits! Jeff soon goes down to his knees, selling his lower back after that missed leap frog leg off a 14 foot ladder on Sunday. He’s able to stand though – no worries.

All of a sudden Rodney Mack’s music hits – but it’s only Smackdown’s new General Manager Teddy Long. I liked Rodney Mack. He says, “Teddy Long, everybody! I’m living large and I’m back in charge right here on Smackdown!” He tells Matt to hold on. He says that Matt said something that caught his attention – he said if Jeff didn’t give him an apology that he would make him leave here tonight on a stretcher. Since Monday is the WWE Draft, one or both of them might be leaving Smackdown – that would be a disappointment. So the only way that either one of them will leave here tonight will be on a stretcher! What he means by that is tonight, for the first time ever on Smackdown, Matt Hardy will go one on one with his brother Jeff Hardy in a Stretcher Match!

Main Event
Stretcher Match
Jeff Hardy vs. Matt Hardy

Matt will be wrestling this match in his spiffy new tights. The bell rings and Matt quickly goes for a clothesline but Jeff ducks it and hits a kick and a right hand. Jeff then forces Matt into the corner and punches him a few times. Jeff then hits a corner clothesline, then another, and Matt is now seated! Jeff goes for his slingshot dropkick but Matt rolls out of the ring and Jeff lands on his feet!

Jeff follows Matt to the outside and clubs him. Jeff goes to put Matt back in the ring but Matt stops him and goes to bounce his face off the apron but Jeff blocks it and bounces Matt’s face off the apron instead. Jeff sets a stretcher up and suplexes Matt on it but only a little bit of Matt’s body touched and the rest hit the concrete! Jeff puts Matt on the stretcher and pushes but Matt quickly gets off and punches Jeff wildly! Matt sends Jeff into the barricade and then throws him in the ring.

Matt hits an elbow. He goes for a suplex but Jeff counters it into an inverted falcon’s arrow! Jeff now goes for Twist of Fate but Matt pushes him into the ropes and hits him with a Side Effect! Matt exits the ring and sets a stretcher up along side it. He puts Jeff on it and punches him a few times. Matt is now running the stretcher up the ramp and gets half of it over the finish line with Jeff begins kicking him in the face! Jeff is now rolling down the ramp and almost falls off but he comes off the stretcher and clotheslines his brother down!! Jeff now stands on the stretcher and “surfs” down the ramp, coming off with a cross-body!!

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Matt send Jeff face first into the second turnbuckle! Matt sends Jeff into the ropes and Jeff takes him down with an avalanche! Jeff takes him down with a clothesline and then hits that twisting clothesline/neckbreaker combo! Jeff now goes for an Atomic but Matt counters into a butterfly lock with a body scissors! Jeff goes down to the mat and Matt keeps it locked on tight, choking him almost completely out! Matt rolls out of the ring, sets up a stretcher, and gets him on it.

Matt begins pushing the stretcher up and Jeff starts fighting so Matt punches him a few times! Jeff is holding on to the barricade to prevent him from going up the ramp further! Matt pulls him off by his leg and Jeff counters with a flipping mule kick on the concrete section – no padding there!! Jeff slowly gets up, in pain, and whips Matt HARD into the steel ring steps!

Jeff sets up two stretchers and puts Matt on one. Jeff begins pushing Matt up the ramp but Matt gets off before crossing the line! They fight up and down the ramp with Jeff coming off with the worst of it, falling down the ramp! Matt then tries to ram the stretcher into his head but Jeff NARROWLY avoids it!!

Matt puts Jeff back in the ring and sets up a stretcher outside of it. Matt now goes under the ring and grabs a steel chair! Matt gets on the apron with it and Jeff pushes the chair in Matt’s face, sending him off the apron! The chair is on the stretcher now and Jeff gets Matt on the apron and punches him off, with Matt falling back onto the stretcher and the chair!! Matt rolls off and has his face against the stretcher as Jeff Hardy goes to the top rope and comes off, hitting the end of the stretcher, catapulting it up in Matt’s face!! Todd Grisham embarrassingly calls it as Jeff overshooting a move and then corrects himself and apologizes.

Jeff puts Matt on a stretcher and goes to bring him up the ramp but Matt won’t let go of the apron so Jeff sends the stretcher and Matt into the steel steps, almost lawn darting Matt into the stairs face first! Jeff bounces his face off the steel steps and puts him on the stretcher! Jeff now goes to the top rope and goes for the Swanton Bomb to the outside but Matt rolls out of the way and Jeff HITS THE STRETCHER!! That was really impressive!! If he overshot by even an inch… Matt now begins pushing Jeff up the ramp on the stretcher but Jeff is trying his best to fight off but Matt keeps punching him down!! Then Matt gets the steel chair, smashes it over Jeff’s head, leaving him unconscious, allowing Matt to push Jeff up the ramp on the stretcher and over the finish line!!

Winner: Matt Hardy
