Report by Chris Shore, ProWrestling.net
[Q1]The opening video aired, followed by the pyro, and Todd Grisham and Jim Ross welcomed us to Smackdown. They hyped the double main event of Jeff Hardy vs. Chris Jericho and CM Punk vs. Rey Mysterio…Josh Matthews was in the ring. He welcomed Jeff Hardy to talk about his match with Punk at The Bash. Jeff made his entrance to a huge pop. Matthews introed a video that recapped the ladder match from Extreme Rules. Matthews said he couldn’t imagine how he felt to once again win the World Championship. He said with that in mind, he couldn’t imagine what he felt like, “When this happened.” A video played that showed Punk’s cashing in of MITB.
Matthews played yet another video, this one of the end of the triple threat match on Raw. Matthews said it appears that Jeff cannot catch a break. He said he doesn’t seem to be able to get the title back. Hardy said it was fine; he didn’t live in the past. He said he had Punk one on one at The Bash and he would reclaim his title there. Matthews said it was only fair to get Punk’s comments too. Punk made his ring entrance to some boos, but mostly no heat. When he got in the ring, he received a few boos again. Matthews said a lot of people feel he took advantage of Jeff twice.
Punk said the only thing he took advantage of was his MITB contract. He said, “Nowhere in the rules does it say ‘Do not cash in of Jeff Hardy.’” Punk said he was offended that people said he stole the match on Monday, he had never stolen anything in his life. Punk said Jeff knew as well as he did that you didn’t have to be someone’s friend in the ring. Jeff agreed and said he lived his life the way he wanted and Punk lived his life the way he wanted. Punk agreed and said the same thing, but with a little stutter when he mentioned Jeff’s lifestyle. Matthews thanked both men and said, “Let’s here it for the number one contender, Jeff Hardy.” The crowd popped. He said the same for punk and the crowd booed big time. Jeff’s match with Jericho is next…[C]
