Jeff Hardy entered the ring and talked about last week’s incident in this episode. He said he was hit from behind and knocked out as soon as he got out of his car. He stated that when he woke up he smelled alcohol and felt the handcuffs being put on his wrists. Hardy said it was actually Sheamus who hit Elias with the car and blamed him for the crime. Sheamus came out and said that all Hardy is doing is blaming other people for his own problems. Sheamus then called Hardy a "junkie" before taking him down with a Brogue Kick.
