WrestleMania 17: Edge and Christian defeat Dudley Boyz, the Hardy Boyz
After the first-ever TLC match was well-received, WWE decided to keep the second match at WrestleMania 17. The match for the Tag-Team championship between the Dudley Boyz, the Hardy Boyz, and Edge and Christian was heavily destructive and violent. The match was also filled with surprising moments as Spike Dudley, Rhyno and Lita interfered during the match.
All the three teams got a chance to shine, but a spear from Edge changed the course of the match. In the latter part of the match, Jeff Hardy climbed the ladder and began unhooking the belts, but Bubba Ray pulled the ladder from beneath him leaving him hanging in the air. This allowed Edge to jump off another ladder and spear Jeff to the ground at a height of 12 feet. Soon after, Edge’s partner Christian unhooked the belts and won the match.
