It feels so weird to see Big Show actually work dominant. The match was all him throwing Jeff around, he even killed Matt and pushed the ref around which played into the finish where he went for a Diving Legdrop for god knows what reason to set up the finish with the whole Team Xtreme or whatever they were called all hitting their top rope finishers on him and a quick count. Not much to say about Hardy's performance except that I liked his selling. **3/4

Jeff is accompanied by both his brother and Lita in what is “punishment” for the Hardyz having been spotted talking to Shane McMahon on last week’s show.  He slides into the ring through the Big Show’s legs but is caught and pressed high, being dropped chest first to the mat.  Michael Cole and Tazz are already writing off his chances, even more so with him supposedly not at 100% after TLC II.  Matt gets nailed when he climbs up onto the apron, Show then stepping to the outside to drop him across the barricade.  He stalks after Lita but she manages to evade him, at least for the time being.  Referee Jimmy Korderas is shoved down as he tries to get Show’s mind back on the match in hand.  Lita off the top jumps into an almighty paw, however Jeff clobbers Show from behind as he lifts her up for the chokeslam.  Show bodyslams Jeff and then signals he’s going upstairs.  Christ, I wouldn’t want to be the rigger who set up the ring knowing that Show was going to be coming off the top turnbuckle tonight!  He misses the big elbow, Lita with a moonsault, Matt with a top rope legdrop, Swanton by Jeff and the three of them pile on for the cover.  Not only does Korderas count, he fast counts too, still disgruntled that Show put his hands on him earlier in the match.  All four of them flee to the dressing room with Show on their trail.

We return from a commercial to see Show still looking for the Hardy Boyz.  He makes the mistake of hammering on the wrong locker room, getting attacked by the Brothers of Destruction, Kane & the Undertaker who beat him down in the hallway.
