A tough night for Hardy

Ryker started off strong and took Hardy down right away but Jeff came back with some headscissors and went for the atomic drop - low dropkick - splash sequence.

Ryker got back in control and unloaded on Jeff before hitting a suplex and getting a near fall. Hardy came back with the jawbreaker and a neck breaker before going up to the top rope.

Elias knocked Hardy off the ropes and earned Ryker a DQ loss. Jeff attacked Elias after the match but Ryker planted him in the ring.

Result: Jeff Hardy def. Jaxson Ryker via DQ
