-Clips aired of last week’s main event, but the video was interrupted before they could show the post-match attack initiated by C.M. Punk.

-Punk came to the ring on this week’s show, seemingly cutting off the ending of the video package. He got the mic and said he tired to empathize with the fans’ weaknesses, and even told them to “just say no.” But all he got, was for them to love Jeff Hardy even more. He said that won’t deter them, and he will keep trying to teach them the difference between right and wrong. He talked about facing challenges head-on, then he cued up the clips of the beat-down from last week. Punk said fans like Hardy because they are just like him. He said the reality is that the fans don’t have the strength to be straight-edge. He said it’s easier to be weak like Jeff rather than strong like him. He asked what the prescription bottles say, and insinuated they take more than they should. He talked about abusing pills and smoking, as well as the “funny cigarettes.” Punk said not only is it hazardous to your health, but illegal as well. He called the vast majority of fans in the stands criminals. Next on the agenda was alcohol and alcoholism. He said in his book, even one drink = alcoholism. Punk again called the fans weak and said they deserve better. He wanted to be their leader, who will just say no. He said the fans need a straight-edge World Champion. The referee is in the ring, as is Justin Roberts, so I guess we’re leading off with the title match.

1- C.M. PUNK vs. JEFF HARDY- WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Hardy attacked before the bell, and referee Scott Armstrong tried to restrain him. It didn’t work, so other referees and agents Dean Malenko and Mike Rotundo came out to separate the two. General Manager Teddy Long was out there as well. Once they were separated, Vince McMahon came out. Let’s get this out of the way….

WINNER: No Match.

McMahon said they need a title match and that Long can’t control anything. Apparently, he’s still on probation. McMahon said he’d find someone who will be able to control things. McMahon said he’d have a special guest enforcer who would maintain control of the match. The guest enforcer: He’s going to make everyone wait and find out. After he went to the back, Hardy attacked Punk once again. It was pretty obvious something would happen because they never do matches like this this early on the show. I wouldn’t mind them switching it up once in a while so you wouldn’t be able to see this coming a mile away.

JEFF HARDY vs. C.M. PUNK- WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH

Jeff got in Matt’s face before the match. Speaking of, looks like Matt has some bad sunburn on his face or something. Atomic drop and a double legdrop by Hardy early in the match, a two count over a minute into the contest. Clothesline and over the top rope went Punk. Punk pulled Jeff off the apron by one leg. Both men were down outside the ring as they went to break just shy of 2:00 in.

[Commercial Break]

It was Punk who was the aggressor out of break. Punk attacked the torso of Hardy with knees to the mid-section. Abdominal stretch followed that up. Hard whip into the buckle sent Hardy crumpling to the mat. Hardy came back with a Whisper in the Wind, but Jeff was too hurt to capitalize immediately. The men traded rights in the middle of the ring until Hardy one-uppped Punk with a mule kick, then a corner dropkick. Jeff went to the top, but Punk met him up there. Superplex off the top by the straight-edge star. Lateral press got a very near fall. Punk got Hardy up on his shoulders for the GTS, but it was no good. Eventually, Hardy sent Punk out of the ring near Matt Hardy, and Jeff hit a cross-body onto him. Jeff went up to Matt, and Punk went for a low dropkick, but it hit Matt instead of Jeff. Twist of Fate by Jeff back in the ring. Swanton, but Punk got his knees up. The ref began the count, but at two, Matt pulled him out of the ring. That didn’t make Punk happy, who argued with Matt about what he did. Then Jeff rolled up Punk and Matt counted to three.

WINNER: Jeff Hardy, at 11:08. Fine match, but you knew they weren’t going to pull out all the stops here. Interesting finish with Matt seemingly siding with Jeff.

Matt immediately left to go to the back, where Punk chased after him up the ramp. Punk, with his angry face on, came back to the ring where Jeff was just getting to his feet. Punk again attacked Jeff, kicking him and throwing him out of the ring. He bounced Jeff’s head off the announce table several times, then got a steel chair to escalate things. He nailed Jeff right in the back. Punk put the chair around Jeff’s neck, then pushed him into the ringpost. Trainers came to check on Jeff and Punk told them, “make sure he’s OK, make sure he’s OK….fix him so I can break him again.” They brought the stretcher out as well. They showed a replay of the post-match attack. At the top of the ramp, Teddy Long met Punk. Punk demanded a re-match. Long said if Jeff is able to defend the title by Summerslam, he’ll get his chance. But in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match. Fans chanted “TLC, TLC” as Long checked on Hardy. Jeff was put in a neck-brace as the show went off the air.
