[Q1]The opening video aired, followed by the pyro and Jim Ross and Todd Grisham welcomed us to Smackdown. They plugged Morrison vs. Punk and JTG vs. The Big Show…A video recapped Punk and Hardy’s time on Smackdown last week…Punk was introduced and made his way to the ring.

Punk cut a promo on the TLC match being Jeff’s specialty. He pointed out that he was also an expert in TLCs. He pointed out his chair attack last week and his back to back MITB wins. He said he could tell them all to control themselves, but they would just cheer Jeff more. He said he knew he couldn’t say anything, but he could do something to help the crowd, take out Jeff Hardy. He said he wanted to do it straight up, just like his lifestyle.

He said that he heard the Jeff wasn’t going to make SummerSlam due to the beating he gave him last week. Teddy Long’s music hit and he came to the ring. He said what he did last week was deplorable. He said despite what Punk said, Hardy would be there tonight, but could not compete. He said Punk would face the man he has yet to beat on Smackdown, John Morrison.

Punk said he was sick of Long. He called Long a Jeff Hardy suck up. Hardy’s music hit and he walked very gingerly to the ring. He said he was hurt, but “Here in your face!” He shouted the last and got in Punk’s face. He said he would defend his title at SummerSlam. Hardy’s music hit immediately, meaning it was a quick cut. Jeff left the ring and walked up the ramp…
