This match was the third, yes third, match of the Invasion PPV of 2001. This was the second meeting between the pair but the first on PPV, meaning everyone was desperate for more. The undercard of this event ultimately suffered due to the main story line of Stone Cold Steve Austin joining The Alliance but the action these two put on was nothing short of breathtaking. Of course, a match involving these two produced all sorts of high flying and dangerous spots that kept the viewing public on the edge of their seats. The drama started backstage before the pair made their entrances as Van Dam assaulted Jeff's brother Matt with a steel chair. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgccs_wwf-jeff-hardy-vs-rob-van-dam_sport RVD, who was the most 'over' member of The Alliance, picked up the win after dodging a Swanton Bomb and hitting his patented Five Star Frog Splash.
