Jeff Hardy vs. Ricky Ortiz

This is a weird match-up. Ortiz cut a promo backstage, which they showed while he was walking out, claiming that 50% of victory is hard work and the other 50% is believing in yourself but to beat Jeff Hardy he needs 100% of the WWE Universe to dig deep and rise up for him and to rally on. That rally gimmick is garbage.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see a replay of the end of the Hardy/Ortiz match. Hardy crushed him with that Swanton Bomb.

Josh Matthews is in the ring and he says that it appears Jeff Hardy has all the momentum heading into Judgment Day this Sunday. Hardy says that Edge is a creature of habit. If we’ve watched him over the last few months, we’ll notice he wins a title on one Pay Per View, and loses it on the next. Hardy says it’s a pattern and someone from the crowd yells that he’s the greatest and Hardy, off script, yells that that fan is the greatest. Hardy says at Backlash, Edge won the title again, and at Judgment Day he will LOSE again. It won’t just be for Hardy, it’ll be for each and every one of us who have supported him through thick and thin and always believed in what he stands for, and that is him, Jeff Hardy! Hardy poses for the crowd.

It will be Jeff Hardy versus Edge on WWE Judgment Day

After defeating John Cena at Backlash, it didn’t take long for World Heavyweight Champion Edge to find out he would be defending his gold against the high-flying Jeff Hardy at Judgment Day.

On the first SmackDown after Backlash, Jeff Hardy won a No. 1 Contender Fatal-4-Way Elimination Match against formidable foes, Kane, Chris Jericho, and Rey Mysterio in Madison Square Garden. The victory officially gave Hardy the opportunity for a match with The Rated-R Superstar.

And on that same night in The Garden, Hardy delivered a Twist of Fate and Swanton Bomb to Edge, who found himself in a vulnerable position after losing a non-title match to CM Punk.

Hardy has made it clear. He wants gold – something that was taken from him at Royal Rumble by none other than Edge, after a shocking betrayal from his own brother, Matt Hardy.

At Backlash, Jeff finally got revenge on his brother by winning their emotion-charged “I Quit" Match.

Now, Hardy has set his sights on the world champion.

Can Edge find a way to beat Hardy like he did Cena at Backlash , or will The Charismatic Enigma ride a wave of momentum into Judgment Day and leave with gold around his waist?

Fatal Four Way Elimination Match
Winner becomes #1 Contender for the World Title
Rey Mysterio vs. Kane vs. Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho

The rules are that four superstars will compete in the ring at the same time. Superstars are eliminated by pinfall, submission, or disqualification.

Jericho smiles but turns right into an uppercut from Kane, flooring him. Kane then exits the ring and bounces Hardy’s head off the barricade. Kane takes the top half of the stairs off and grabs two chairs, putting them in the ring. Kane then leaves – anticlimactic! Charles Robinson throws one of the chairs out but stops when Mysterio dropkicks Jericho in the back, setting him up for the 619! Mysterio hits it and goes for the West Coast Pop but Jericho throws a chair in his face! Charles Robinson calls for the bell and disqualifies Chris Jericho!
