Matt Hardy is introduced as the special enforcer for the World title match.
In the main event, Jeff Hardy beat CM Punk. The Hardys teased dissension with each other but never touched. Punk looked to have the win after putting his knees up during a Swanton, but Matt pulled the ref out of the ring. Punk yelled at Matt but Jeff rolled him and Matt counted a very quick 3-count. Afterwards Punk attacked Jeff and beat him into the announce table and with a chair, and then Pillmanized him neckfirst into a ringpost. Teddy Long then came out and booked Jeff against Punk at SummerSlam in TLC.
