Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy

Things got personal for Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy started off strong and hit a huge dropkick on Joe in the corner. Samoa Joe took control with a few stiff hooks and locked in an abdominal stretch. Joe went for a roll-up but Hardy kicked out and hit the atomic drop followed by a dropkick for a near fall.

Hardy hit the whisper in the wind but Joe kicked out again. Hardy then hit the twist of fate but Joe rolled out of the ring before the finisher. Hardy instead leapt at Joe on the outside and used the barricades to break down Joe. Hardy threw Joe over the announce tables but Joe locked in the coquina clutch as the match was called in Joe's favour via DQ.
