3. Jeff Hardy Vs. Sheamus

Result: Sheamus puts Hardy away after two Brogue Kicks (16:50).

Rating: As completely atrocious as the storyline surrounding this match was, in terms of pure wrestling what we got was very good - if certainly a bit on the messy side.

The physicality of Sheamus juxtaposed against Hardy's scrappy agility and incredible selling made for some great, brutal moments that made it easy to get behind Jeff.

Sure, it probably didn't need to be quite so long, but the runtime helped sell Sheamus' beatdown of Jeff and Jeff's never-say-die attitude.

Hopefully they'll wrap this program up with a Hardy win at Extreme Rules and the storytelling in the meantime won't be too obnoxious. 7/10
