Bobby Lashley tomorrow will get 100 days as United States Champion.
Joe, why do you think Bobby Lashley has been so successful as champ?
>> Well, I mean, obviously it's his peerless physicality and
his ability to be the meanest man on the block top.
>> And of course, he's got MVP in your corner offering some support.
>> His back is hurt, Bobby. His back is hurt remember that.
>> Those are the types of tips and advice that MVP is known for.
>> Right to the back.
>> I'll give MVP a lot of credit for
ramping up the animalistic aggression we continue to see from Bobby Lashley.
[NOISE] >> Lashley taunting, Hardy.
>> MVP and Lashley, they joined forces earlier this year.
It's catapulted Bobby Lashley in such a tremendous way.
[NOISE] >> To your point Tom,
if Jeff Hardy can earn a victory here tonight against Bobby Lashley,
this would put him in the conversation for
potential United States Championship opportunity.
>> But uphill battle right now for Hardy,
that's easier said than done in a shot right to the face.
Byron, up and down night for the Hurt Business as we saw earlier on.
>> Lashley crushes Jeff Hardy in the corner.
>> We're the Hurt Business.
It's call the Hurt Business. [NOISE] Business as usual.
[NOISE] >> Kick right to the face.
Now, Jeff Hardy on the move, Leap Frog by Lashley.
Lashley's such a brilliant athlete.
>> You think so. >> And
a little power to go along with that agility, Tom.
>> Went for the Gut Wrench, and Hardy caught himself.
>> Hardy had a counter and a Leg Drop to follow up.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Let's go, on your feet, on your feet.
>> Jeff Hardy's gotta be racked with pain after last week,
the Symphony of Destruction match.
Wants the Twist of Fate.
>> No, no.
>> No. >> Hardy trying to block it.
>> He got the left arm out there to help block the Hurt Lock.
>> I like what Hardy is doing, holding on to his own badly,
doing his best to fight the Hurt Lock.
>> Send into the turnbuckle and now sends away Bobby Lashley.
>> yeah, watch MVP.
[NOISE] >> MVP offering the distraction into
Jeff Hardy and- >> That's all it takes.
>> There's an opening to Bobby Lashley.
>> Wait a minute.
>> Is that Riddle?
>> Riddle, here to back up Jeff Hardy.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Riddle get a little bit of
revenge on MVP.
>> And there goes Bobby Lashley to the outside.
>> And Hardy.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> And now with Riddle keeping an eye on
MVP, it's Hardy, who's got an opportunity and takes down Lashley.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Jeff Hardy is in a bad way,
at the hands of Bobby Lashley.
>> Off we go.
>> [NOISE] >> I do not like this predicament at all
for Hardy.
>> But all the damage Hardy incurred last week and
the Symphony of Destruction Match, winning against Elias.
But it's Lashley who's been all over Jeff Hardy tonight.
>> Lashley trying to send a message to Riddle.
>> Jeff Hardy, that shot to the midsection really found the mark.
But not enough really to take Lashley out of his game.
>> It just made him more angry Tom.
>> Come on Jeff, no.
>> And now Lashley with a snap suplex, into the cover shoulders down and
Hardy continues to battle.
>> It's not gonna be that easy Bobby.
>> I've been thinking Hurt Lock but this is a change of plant from The Almighty.
>> Hardy trying now.
>> Hardy, Hardy, Twist of Fate.
>> Can Jeff Hardy pull this off?
Lashley is down.
>> Jeff gotta hurry.
>> And Hardy is going up.
>> Jeff Hardy.
>> Well, here we go.
>> Ready for take off.
>> [APPLAUSE] >> From the top rope.
>> No. >> Looking for Swanton Bomb, landed,
tweaked the back.
>> What a Spear.
>> What a Spear by The Almighty?
>> Jarring Spear by the United States Champion.
[NOISE] >> And
now will the third time's the charm for Lashley?
>> And Lashley now with the Hurt Lock, the Full Nelson.
>> Whoa, it's locked in pretty deep.
>> Hardy is on the rope.
>> No, no, he pulled him back off.
>> Hardy now in submission, but look at Lashley,
Lashley forces the tap out, no choice for Jeff Hardy.
[MUSIC]
>> And Lashley not letting go.
>> He's not letting go at all.
>> Lashley not letting go of Hardy.
>> Riddle, Riddle trying to get it off.
>> And there goes MVP, Lashley is gonna- >> And Lashley throw Hardy into Riddle.
