5. Matt Hardy Snaps

Matt Hardy is mad as hell and he's not gonna take it anymore.

Sammy Guevara's wayward chair lob busted Matt wide open last week, necessitating 13 stitches. Hardy wanted a piece of the 'Spanish God' right away but won't be cleared until next week. Still, he refuses to die. He promised to make Guevara bleed like he did, saying he'll kick his "weird little *ss" on 22 August, before mistaking a cap-clad referee for the Inner Circle man, trucking him against a shutter until other officials separated the duo.

Hardy cut a decent promo here. The red mist descended and he wasn't acting like himself, making for a suitable response to last week's bloodletting. Next week's showdown just got a lot more intense thanks to his mania.
