Chris Jericho & Dolph Ziggler vs. R-Truth & Jeff Hardy

They promote for tomorrow’s Smackdown a “Special Ladder Edition” of the Cutting Edge with Jeff Hardy as the guest.

The bell sounds and it’ll be Jeff Hardy starting out against Dolph Ziggler. They lock up and Ziggler quickly digs a knee into Hardy’s midsection. Ziggler hits a right hand and has a whip reversed on him but he slides under the ropes and goes to the outside. Ziggler then turns into a nice baseball slide from Hardy and Hardy puts him back in the ring. The referee’s back is turned as Jericho pulls Hardy off the apron and throws him into the barricade. Ziggler now comes out and capitalizes by putting Hardy in the ring and dropping a big elbow for a near fall. Ziggler quickly locks on a chin lock and holds it on. The audience gets into it and Hardy gets to his feet and elbows out but Ziggler holds his hair and pulls him down. Ziggler pulls him to his corner and steps on his head as he tags in Jericho.

Jericho comes in and kicks Hardy in the ribs before hitting a back suplex. Jericho slaps him before picking him up. Jericho goes for a whip but Hardy twists the arm and hits his spinning neckbreaker. Hardy makes the tag to R-Truth and he clotheslines Jericho twice. R-Truth hits a right hand but has a whip into the corner reversed on him but he slingshots over Jericho and does a cartwheel before splitting under a clothesline and hitting a back heel kick for a near fall. R-Truth hits a right hand and tags Hardy back in.

Hardy punches Jericho in the corner and stomps him. Jericho reverses a whip into the corner but Hardy counters with Whisper in the Wind for a near fall. Hardy tags R-Truth back in and they double whip Jericho into the corner and execute Poetry in Motion. The referee admonishes Hardy as Ziggler blindsides R-Truth from behind with a dropkick. Jericho begins stomping R-Truth as we go to break.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see R-Truth locked in a chin lock by Dolph Ziggler. The crowd is really into it as R-Truth fights up and elbows but Ziggler gets a knee into the midsection. Ziggler attempts a back suplex but R-Truth counters into a cross-body for a two count. R-Truth then gets up and walks right into a huge clothesline from Ziggler. Ziggler gets a front face lock on and tags in Jericho, who punches him a bit before taunting R-Truth, asking him “What’s up.” Jericho goes for a body slam but R-Truth wiggles out and hits some big right hands before having a whip reversed on him and being taken out by a knee to the midsection. Jericho hits a low dropkick to the face and kicks him in the ribs a bit before locking on a Tazmission. Hardy gets the crowd into it on the apron but it’s a while before R-Truth can get to his feet but he does. R-Truth attempts to punch out but Jericho gets a knee in the midsection. Jericho whips him into the ropes but R-Truth ducks the clothesline and hits a cross-body block for a two count. R-Truth then gets up into a step-up enzuigiri and Jericho covers for a near fall.

Jericho makes the tag to Dolph Ziggler and Ziggler punches him in the ribs. Ziggler hits a snapmare and drops four elbows and one big one for a near fall. Ziggler tags Jericho back in and holds R-Truth’s head up for Jericho to slap. R-Truth punches out of Jericho’s grasp. Jericho is able to duck one of those punches and go for the Walls of Jericho but R-Truth twists out. R-Truth then hits his Scissors Kick and takes a little time before tagging in Jeff Hardy and Jericho tags Ziggler.

Hardy hits Ziggler with a clothesline and some right hands before hitting his flipping mule kick. Ziggler is set up in the corner and Hardy hits the slingshot dropkick for a near fall. Ziggler hits him with a knee in the midsection and goes to bump his head off the turnbuckle but Hardy blocks it and hits another Whisper in the Wind for a near fall broken up by Jericho. R-Truth runs in and clotheslines Jericho out of the ring before hitting a sick suicide dive that could’ve broken his neck! Think back to Lita vs. Trish in the Main Event of Raw – similar to that. Hardy now hits a Twist of Fate and a Swanton Bomb on Dolph Ziggler for the win!
