Jay Lethal vs. "Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy

Lethal comes out to the ring wearing a new ring coat that says "Living the Dream" (at least I didn't see it at Victory Road) on the back. This is yet another first time ever matchup and it pits the #2 ranked Jeff Hardy against the #5 Jay Lethal! Lethal and Jeff tie up and Jeff gets the advantage with a side headlock. Lay shoves Jeff into the ropes and Jeff comes back with a shoulder block. Jeff hits the ropes but Lethal leapfrogs over him and then rolls backward to try and hook Jeff with his legs but Jeff grabs his legs and Leg Drops ontop of Lethal's legs into a pin! 1...NO Lethal kicks out. Jeff whips Lethal into the corner and then charges but Lethal backdrops Jeff over the top to the apron. Lethal then hits a Springboard Dropkick that sends Jeff crashing to the floor. Lethal hits a Suicide Dive through the ropes onto Jeff sending him into the guardrail on the floor! We then cut to a shot of Rhino, Dreamer, Raven, and Richards walking in the crowd. Lethal rolls Hardy back into the ring and gets a nearfall. Hardy comes back with a kick to the gut and then goes for the Twist of Fate but Lethal shoves him into the ropes. Lethal then hits a Hip Toss followed by a cartwheel into a dropkick! 1...2...NO Hardy kicks out! Lethal throws Hardy into the corner and he chops away at Hardy. Lethal attempts to whip Hardy into the opposite corner but Hardy reverses it and then charges at Lethal but Lethal floats up and over Hardy. Lethal charges but Hardy hits a back elbow and then hits the Whisper In The Wind off the top! Hardy and Lethal get to their feet at the same time and exchange right hands. Lethal then kicks Hardy and attempts to whip Hardy into the ropes but Hardy reverses it into a shortarm clothesline! Hardy follows up with an Atomic Drop and then a modified Leg Drop to the nuts and then a sliding dropkick for another nearfall. Hardy goes for the Hardyac Arrest in the corner but Lethal gets his boots up as Tenay announces that Beer Money has decided on a Street Fight for Match 2 in the Best of 5 Series! Lethal hits a Springboard Missile Dropkick for another nearfall. Lethal goes for the Lethal Injection but Hardy counters into the Twist of Fate! Hardy then climbs up top and hits the Swanton Bomb! 1...2...3 and Hardy gets the win.
