Judgement Day Review - Match #7: Edge vs Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship
The finale of the 2009 edition of Judgement Day sees Jeff Hardy take on Edge for the World Heavyweight Title. Could the "Rated R Superstar" keep the strap, or would Jeff take the belt back to the Hardy family?
Matt: Pretty good finale, but did anyone actually think that Jeff would win the belt? Edge just won it last month, and there is no great rush to move it onto Hardy, who still has somewhat of a blurry future with the company. With Matt coming back and attacking Jeff, the only thing I can think of is another stip match with Matt vs Jeff at the June PPV. Not a great finale, but a good one, and the right way to end it with Edge keeping the strap.
John: Back to back lack luster matches. It was to be expected in the Big Show and Cena match, but you had to expect more from Edge and Jeff Hardy. Memories from old TLC and tag matches should have set the table for a great title bout, but this one did not deliver. There were some good moments, including some amazing moves outside of the ring, but the pace was a bit dull at times. Plus the Matt Hardy interference was unnecessary as it didn't even result in a immediate pin for Edge. This pay per view for once had some solid under-card matches, too bad the main events forgot they were supposed to steal the show.
