World Heavyweight Championship
CM Punk v. Edge v. Jeff Hardy

Hardy went right after Punk and tossed him into Edge's groin. Hardy rolled the champion up for a two count before Edge pounced and attempted the same. Punk gained the advantage and went after both men, clotheslining Edge to the floor. Punk launched himself through the ropes and hit a tope onto Edge. As he re-gathered himself Hardy raised the stakes, throwing himself up and over the top rope with a suicida.

Back in the ring Hardy went for a pin fall, but only got a two count. He ate a big boot on the Irish Whip attempt and Punk gained a bit of an advantage. Punk connected with a kick to the body before laying Jeff out with a body slam and dropping an elbow. Punk wrapped Hardy up in a chin lock before Edge came swooping into the ring and had a pair of big boots to dish out to both the champion and the other challenger.

Edge stomped away at Punk's back before smashing his head into the corner buckles. The two duked it out on the top rope briefly before Hardy interrupted and dragged Edge off. Hardy leaped into Edge's place on the second rope. Edge picked up Jeff and went for an electric chair drop, but Punk tried to pick him out of the air with a lariat from the top rope. Punk swooped off but missed by a mile. Jeff almost rolled Edge up but only managed a two count.

Hardy went into his big spot offense, hitting a double leg drop on both men and attempting a pin fall on Punk. Punk hit a shot to Hardy's chin before tending to Edge on the ring apron. Hardy slid through the bottom rope and snap mared both men. Hardy went to the top rope and looked for a swanton until Edge pushed him off the top rope and crotched him. Edge looked for a spear but Punk hit a huge running power slam for a two count. Hardy went at Punk, trying to prevent Punk from the pin fall. Punk caught him and went for a Go 2 Sleep, only for Hardy to drop out of the hold. Edge came looking for the spear but Punk leap frogged him and Edge smashed into Hardy.

Punk went to the top rope, only for Edge to shove him off the top rope. Punk landed funny on the ring steps and has the trainers down at the ringside area. Hardy hit a big whisper in the wind, only for Punk to barely break it up. Hardy swooped to the outside and went to work on Punk's leg. He intercepted Edge in the ring and hit a twist of fate and connected with a swanton bomb, but Punk dragged him out of the ring yet again, except this time, he slammed him into the ring steps. Punk crawled into the ring and pinned Edge to win the match.
