A “Hardy” Assistant
Ethan Carter III enters the Impact Zone, claiming to be unaffected by the war raging between his aunt Dixie Carter and Jeff Jarrett. He’s more concerned with retaining his championship last week and gaining a new assistant in Jeff Hardy. Carter demands Hardy’s presence. He instructs the production crew to shut off Hardy’s music – and for Hardy to bring him and Tyrus bottles of water. Then, Carter reveals a gift – a huge EC3 face cut-out. He says it’s for Hardy to hold while introducing him for the next match.

Hardy gains control with a flurry of rights and a side Russian leg sweep. Hardy backs Carter into his corner and Rockstar Spud enters. He and Hardy deliver a double suplex moments before EC3 sends Spud over the top rope. Tyrus drives Spud into the rings post before feeding him back to EC3 for a front-face suplex. Tyrus becomes legal and begins choking Spud. He spreads Spud’s legs and splashes onto his groin! From then on, it’s total domination of the “Ultimate Underdog.” EC3 reenters with a drop toe hold and choke on the bottom rope. EC3 and Tyrus call for Jeff Hardy to take a shot using EC3’s face sign. Hardy refuses and the distraction allows Spud to tag Matt Hardy. Hardy storms the ring with a series of clotheslines and a Side Effect. He sets up a Twist of Fate, but Carter counters and Tyrus tags in. Hardy fends off Tyrus and Spud tags himself in. Spud finds himself in a precarious position as EC3 demands Jeff Hardy smack him with a chair. Hardy refuses; Tyrus delivers a spike to the throat for the win.
