00:00Well, what a main event!

00:02You get me? I'm no damn ready to sit here. I'm no damn people against me.

00:06Even the best people pray that I'll go to the best of luck.

00:09Especially when it comes to me.

00:10And ladies and gentlemen, the extreme enigma and number one contender for the world's heavyweight title will be in action.

00:17We'll see Jeff Hardy next.

00:22WWE Smack of the Night is brought to you by Just For Men.

00:27Stay in the game with Just For Men hair color.

00:31The main event at Judgment Day would be a triple threat match if Jericho wins tonight.

00:37That's Rey Mysterio, the Intercontinental Champion.

00:40Jericho being distracted somewhat by Rey Mysterio.

00:44Jericho doing all he can tonight to try and get back in the title picture.

00:47Jericho trying to steal this one.

00:49And look, Rey Mysterio there to point it out.

00:52I think he made the right call.

00:55Jericho, oh, walks right into that twist of fate.

00:59Rey Mysterio distracting Jericho.

01:01Hardy capitalizing with a slanton bomb.

01:06And that's it.

01:08Jericho's dreams of Judgment Day just evaporated.

01:25This bout is set for one fall.

01:27Making his way to the ring from Cameron, North Carolina.

01:30Weighing 225 pounds.

01:34Jeff Hardy!

01:38In just two nights, Sunday night at Judgment Day, Jeff Hardy gets his shot.

01:45Jeff Hardy!

01:48In just two nights, Sunday night at Judgment Day, Jeff Hardy gets his shot

01:54to get heavyweight championship gold back around his waist.

01:58Man, what an explosive, unpredictable night.

02:02And Jeff Hardy's got to be loving our general manager, Teddy Long,

02:06stepping up to the plate and making a match there.

02:10What an event, momentous.

02:12Edge against Chris Jericho.

02:16The world's champion against a man that could be the next Intercontinental champion.

02:25The extreme enigma that is Jeff Hardy always electrifies any arena he walks into.

02:32Jeff Hardy is a human thrill ride.

02:35He will take any chance he must to win the world title this Sunday.

02:39And his opponent, from Paradise Valley, Arizona, weighing 256 pounds,

02:45Ricky Ortiz!

02:48Well, ladies and gentlemen, we caught up earlier today with the ever-optimistic Ricky Ortiz

02:52to find out his thoughts tonight on facing Jeff Hardy.

02:58You beat 50% of your competition through hard work.

03:01You beat the other 50% by believing in yourself.

03:06But, to beat the enigmatic Jeff Hardy,

03:10I need 100% of you, the WWE Universe,

03:14to dig deep, to push forward,

03:17and above all, rally up.

03:23Obviously, Ortiz is an amazing athlete,

03:26but he's got a little motivational sphincter in him, it sounds like.

03:30You gonna rally up with him, JR?

03:34I'd like to get to know this gentleman a little bit more.

03:37I know Todd, you've seen him a lot on ECW.

03:40Yeah, Ricky Ortiz with a very impressive winning streak on ECW.

03:44Very athletic, strong, knows his way around the ring,

03:48and tonight, making his debut here on SmackDown.

03:50Well, it's all about opportunity in WWE,

03:53and certainly Jeff Hardy has got to be thinking about this Sunday at Judgment Day,

03:57his chance to win the world's title against Edge.

04:00The fact that Edge now and Chris Jericho are meeting tonight,

04:03in our main event, could be a good night for Ricky Ortiz,

04:07against Jeff Hardy.

04:09Ortiz, desperate to impress the higher-ups,

04:12going for a cover here,

04:14and certainly a win over the number one contender,

04:16would impress everyone in this building.

04:18Ortiz, very physical, and very gifted athletically.

04:23He's a very physical linebacker in college,

04:26Cover the near fall!

04:31JR, Ricky Ortiz has that laid-back, west coast persona.

04:35Do you think that's a good attitude to have here in the WWE?

04:38Will it get you far?

04:39Well, I haven't seen anything laid-back about this match.

04:41I haven't seen him sitting on any lattes.

04:45This guy's as aggressive as he can be.

04:48Very physical, and again, it could be a great night for Ricky Ortiz,

04:52in more ways than one.

04:54Certainly it's off to a fantastic start for this athlete

04:57from Paradise Valley, Arizona.

05:01256 pounds, Ricky Ortiz going right at Hardy.

05:05Three headbutts!

05:06They do it!

05:07A very unorthodox physical offense.

05:10It shows tenacity.

05:11You gotta be a tough son of a gun to deliver three headbutts in succession.

05:15Rally up, JR.

05:16Look at him go!

05:18I'm rallying.

05:19The big O did not connect,

05:21as Hardy lifted the knees in just the nick of time,

05:24but walked right into that slam.

05:25Ortiz, for the biggest win of his career.

05:28No.

05:30Ortiz will be singing his own praises even louder and longer

05:33if he can beat the number one contender for the World's title here tonight.

05:40And Ortiz has that casual approach,

05:42but as you see so far, he can bring it.

05:46It's all about timing and opportunity.

05:48Great opportunity for Ricky Ortiz, the timing.

05:51Here on Friday night, Swagdam could be perfect.

05:54Again, a tip.

05:55Hardy's thinking about Sunday's Judgment Day

05:58and not about this match tonight.

06:00Ricky Ortiz has everything to gain in this match

06:03and nothing to lose.

06:06Hardy on a very impressive run,

06:08winning that fatal four-way to qualify as the number one contender

06:12for the World's title.

06:14And then last week, knocking off Chris Jericho,

06:17preventing the match this Sunday from being a triple threat match.

06:32And Hardy trying to get back into this match.

06:35I can't believe I'm saying that.

06:37Ricky Ortiz has surprised, I think, everyone so far.

06:41High risk is Jeff Hardy's WWE mantra.

06:44The former WWE champion.

06:46This Sunday will be one big move away from...

06:50And that could be it right there.

06:52Twist of fate by Hardy, but he's not done.

06:55Going to where he's most comfortable, Hardy.

06:59To the high-risk district.

07:02Oh, swanton bomb.

07:04Jeff Hardy lives living on the edge.

07:07It just paid off with an impressive victory

07:10for the Ricky Ortiz.

07:16Well, first of all, I like Ricky Ortiz.

07:18He's a heck of an athlete.

07:20But Jeff Hardy rallied the pun intended.

07:23He rallied all right, and swanton turned his way

07:27to a very impressive victory

07:29just two days before Judgment Day.

07:34Ladies and gentlemen, we return here on Friday

07:36at SmackDown, we're trying to get a word

07:38with Jeff Hardy, the number one contender

07:40for the World Heavyweight Championship.

07:42And there's no doubt about the fact that Jeff Hardy...
