Memphis, TN
Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com

Start of the Show

The World Heavyweight Champion is hanging above the ring and ladders are set up all around the ring and the ringside area. There’s a ton of ladder, at least twenty, in the ring and surrounding it as well as going up the ramp. There’s even a ladder on top of the announcer’s table. It’s a sight to behold as this is a special edition of the Cutting Edge. We’re now joined by our host, the World Heavyweight Champion Edge, who is greeted none too warmly by the crowd.

Edge gets in the ring and looks very solemn as he welcomes us to this very special Cutting Edge, with the focus being on his Ladder Match at Extreme Rules. He now introduces his opponent Jeff Hardy, who comes out to a tremendous applause. Hardy goes under the ladders as he greets the fans.

Jeff Hardy gets in the ring and soaks up the fan’s reaction and says if Edge wants to speak with him he’ll be right up on top of a ladder. Hardy gets on top of a ladder and his head is right next to the title. Hardy says he’s always comfortable in his own skin and right now he’s extremely comfortable with his surroundings right now, and at Extreme Rules he’ll be right here, sitting on a ladder, right at home, comfortable as a NEW World Heavyweight Champion.

Edge, while still on the ground, says nothing makes him more content than looking across a ring, or up a ladder, at an opponent who has false bravado, who panders to all the “sheep.” Edge says what Hardy failed to mention was just how dangerous the match is going to be. He and Hardy are going to do terrible things but everyone knows that. Edge says that every time Hardy goes to climb the ladder on Sunday he’ll be there to knock him back down. Edge climbs the ladder up a couple of rungs a few times and demonstrates bringing him back down. Edge finally says after he knocks Hardy down for the very last time, he’ll climb the ladder and grab his World Heavyweight Championship, and Edge climbs to the top of the ladder, sitting face to face with Hardy. This is awesome.

Edge says when it comes to him and Hardy, no matter what match, it’s always the same ending – and Hardy cuts him off saying “Blah, blah, blah!” Hardy says he can keep talking about how good he is but he doesn’t care. The fact is, this Sunday he’s going to make history. This is a ladder match people will be talking about until the end of time, even after he and Edge are gone. Some people say he’s already gone, being reckless at times, but he’s done what he’s done, he is who he is, and he can safely say he’s proud of who and what he is right now. At Extreme Rules, living for the moment will not be his downfall – it will be his salvation.

Edge says that’s good, because this Sunday he’s going to need that salvation. Edge now bangs the World Heavyweight Championship against Hardy’s temple twice and knocks the ladder over! Hardy hits the ropes ribs first and goes right over the top rope to the floor! That had to hurt! Edge now walks up the ramp holding the World Heavyweight Championship over his head. Tremendous segment!

After Edge's Win against Rey Mysterio

Edge holds his World Heavyweight Championship above his head as we see replays of the ending. Edge now searches under the ring and pulls out a ladder. Edge waits for Mysterio to get up but Jeff Hardy runs down with a steel chair and uses it to smack the ladder back in Edge’s face! Jeff Hardy now hits a Twist of Fate on the ladder and sets it up! Hardy now goes to the top rope and leap frogs over with a HUGE leg drop onto Edge! Jeff Hardy grabs the World Heavyweight Championship and holds it over his head to close the show!

Jeff Hardy Loses Handicap Match Against Y2J and Edge

WWE Smackdown
May 29, 2009
Los Angeles, CA
Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com

Before the Main Event Match

Edge gets in the ring and grabs a microphone. Edge says if he can pick two words that describe and define Jeff Hardy it’s wasted opportunities. Last week Jeff Hardy had the break of a lifetime to pick any match at Extreme Rules so he picks a match that Edge owns. He picked a match that he has more success with than anyone in the WWE – a Ladder Match. Edge says he heard Jeff talking before and they have been in more Ladder Matches than anyone else. The difference between them is Jeff always impresses and shines, making the highlight reel, but he always wins. That’s actually true. Edge says we may not like it because we know it’s true. The difference between this Ladder Match and the past are they were Tag Team and Money in the Bank Ladder Matches but this is their first ever one on one Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship. The other difference between he and Jeff is Jeff is a loser and he’s a winner. Jeff is a man who wastes his opportunities and he’s an Ultimate Opportunist. Jeff’s a perennial challenger and he’ll walk out of Extreme Rules STILL the World Heavyweight Champion.

Chris Jericho’s music hits but he doesn’t come out. I guess he really isn’t coming out. Rey Mysterio’s music now hits and he makes his way out to the ring. On the way he bumps heads with some of his child fans but the last one grabs Mysterio and smashes his head on the steel barricade! The fan comes over and assaults Mysterio some more, unmasking to reveal he’s Chris Jericho! Jericho sends him into the barricade and body slams him on the concrete floor! Jericho punches some more before attempting to remove Mysterio’s mask! Jeff Hardy runs down and makes the save, fighting Jericho off! Officials come to check on Mysterio as we go to commercial.

-Commercial Break-

We come back and see some replays of Jericho’s beat down on Rey Mysterio. That was really brilliant – I loved it. Justin Roberts announces that Jeff Hardy has agreed to go on with the bout as a two on one handicap match!

Jeff Defeats Edge and Chooses a Ladder Match at Extreme Rules

Jeff Defeats Edge and Chooses a Ladder Match at Extreme Rules

WWE Smackdown
May 22, 2009
Cincinnati, OH
Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com

A video recap of the Judgment Day Main Event is shown. We see highlights of the match, which was great until Matt Hardy interfered with his cast. Edge delivers an Edgecution to Jeff Hardy off the top rope and Edge retains the title.

The Smackdown video plays and we’re brought into the arena with a great pyrotechnics display. Jim Ross and Todd Grisham welcome us to the show. Tonight we’ll see a rematch from Superstars with CM Punk taking on Chris Jericho, who he defeated last night.

Justin Roberts is in the ring and asks us to welcome the World Heavyweight Champion Edge. Edge comes out to a less than enthusiastic response. Edge grabs a microphone and says if there was ever any doubt as to who the face of Smackdown, then lets end the debate now. Edge says he doesn’t want to hear any other Superstar coming out and declaring himself the face of the show. Judgment Day has come and gone, and he is still the face of this brand. Edge says that Chris Jericho lost to Rey Mysterio, CM Punk lost to Umaga, and he embarrassed and defeated Jeff Hardy, which means he’s still our World Heavyweight Champion. Edge says to make no mistake about it – he is the premier superstar in the WWE today. The crowd is chanting for Jeff Hardy but Edge says that he’s not even in Edge’s league. He is a winner. Edge says Jeff Hardy is just like his legions of fans – the people who believe in him and chant his name. He’s just like all of them – a loser.

Teddy Long’s music hits and he makes his way out to the ring. Long says what he witnessed at Judgment Day was an atrocity. Long says he believes the referee’s decision is final but as the General Manager of this show he cannot deny that Matt Hardy illegally interfered in a World Heavyweight Championship match. Therefore, at Extreme Rules, he is going to grant a rematch to Jeff Hardy!

Edge is angry and says he beat Jeff. You can say that he lost because he got hit in the head with a cast but that’s just an excuse. He’s tired of everyone giving excuses for him because the fact is he ran up against a man who has more will, heart, and determination and who is willing to pull out all the stops. Edge says he went back into the vault, the millions of moves he’s mastered over the years, and he pulled out his top rope Edgecution, and that’s how Jeff Hardy got beat. Jeff Hardy is not World Heavyweight Championship material. Jeff Hardy is a failure.

Jeff Hardy’s music hits and he makes his way out to the ring to a great reaction. Hardy stops outside the ring and says Edge is right. He’s a loser, a failure, a screw-up, a let down, pathetic, and reckless. But above and beyond all of that, deep down, Jeff Hardy is a competitor. He also knows that at Extreme Rules, every match is extreme. Hardy says they should get crazy – they should have a match tonight and whoever wins gets to decide what type of extreme match they will have.

Edge says that Hardy can’t come out and make his own match and pleads to Teddy Long. Hardy says for Long to correct him if he’s wrong but he said last week this show belongs to the WWE Universe so lets hear what Cincinnati has to say. Hardy gets in the crowd and asks a bunch of people if they want to see Hardy vs. Edge tonight and they all say yes. Hardy then asks the entire crowd and they scream yes. Hardy says Cincinnati has spoken and Teddy Long makes the match happen for tonight. Edge is not happy as Jeff Hardy and the crowd celebrates.

Main Event Match
Jeff Hardy vs. Edge

This is not a World Heavyweight Championship match. If you’re just starting to read here, this match is to determine who will choose the stipulation for their title match at Extreme Rules. They’re playing up that Hardy may have been concussed at Judgment Day.

Hardy gets around him and rolls him up for a no count and Edge quickly crawls away. They separate and lock up. Edge gets a headlock but Hardy slides out and rolls Edge up for a one count. They take some more time before locking up again and Edge goes for a test of strength but tricks Hardy by kicking him. Edge goes for a body slam but Hardy slides off and rolls him up for a one count and Edge gets out of the ring frustrated.

Edge grabs Hardy’s leg and pulls him down. Edge goes for an elbow drop but Hardy moves. Hardy gets a headlock on and executes a takeover. Hardy tries pinning Edge’s shoulders and gets a one count. Edge fights up and goes for a back suplex but Hardy counters into another takeover. Edge fights up to his feet and punches Hardy in the knee. Edge punches Hardy in the head and Hardy is staggered. Edge has a whip into the corner reversed on him and he hits the corner sternum first. Hardy splashes him in the corner and bounces Edge’s head off the top turnbuckle about ten times and hits a slingshot dropkick to Edge, but this hurts Hardy more because of his bruised brain. Edge looks astonished that Hardy is able to stand and hits a running big boot to the skull. JR wonders if Hardy can beat Edge as we go to commercial.

-Commercial Break-

We come back from the break to see Edge dropping knees on Jeff Hardy’s head. Edge taunts the crowd and they’re not happy. Hardy is really looking in rough shape. Edge goes outside and hangs Hardy on the apron. Edge elbows his head and hits a running kick to his head. Edge gets back in the ring and will accept the count-out. Edge stops this and goes to the outside and bounces Hardy’s head off the apron. Edge puts him back in the ring and covers for a near fall.

Edge’s face says it all – he’s psychotic. Edge bounces Hardy’s head off the top turnbuckle and whips him into the opposite corner. Edge charges into a back elbow and then into Hardy’s boots. Hardy now connects with Whisper in the Wind and covers for a CLOSE near fall. Hardy blocks a right hand and punches Edge. Hardy has a whip reversed on him but he’s able to forearm Edge down.

Winner by Pinfall: Jeff Hardy

Charles Robinson raises Jeff Hardy’s arm and he looks like he’s been through a war. We see replays of all the big head shots Hardy took in this match but he still came out on top. Todd Grisham gets in the ring and congratulates him on a fantastic win. Grisham now asks what type of match we’ll see in New Orleans at Extreme Rules. Hardy says at Extreme Rules he will not be painting, cleaning gutters, or changing bulbs but what he will be doing is climbing a LADDER to become the World Heavyweight Champion! It’s official – at Extreme Rules it’ll be Jeff Hardy vs. Edge in a Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship! Edge clutches his championship as Smackdown ends!

Report by: Mike Tedesco of WrestleView.com

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.

Winner by Pinfall: Jeff Hardy

-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.
