All of this plus Colt Cabana is in the house. (WWE need to sign him) Oh yeah and a quick note to Randy Orton before we begin. Grow up and show some respect you son of a bitch. You're not that good man. Back to Velocity which begins with.........................

Post match a smiling Finlay picks up his shillelagh and leaves looking content with his work.
Matt Hardy vs Colt Cabana
Hardy receives a nice welcome. Winning King of the Ring would be good for his career. Apparently Josh Mathews doesn't like Colt Cabana. Big Hardy chant to begin. Hardy starts with a side headlock and shoulder tackle off the ropes. Hardy keeps a headlock clamped on, Cabana maneuvers into a wristlock and after a couple of nice reversals, Cabana switches to a hammerlock which Hardy reverses. Cabana goes for a snapmare but Hardy counters by rolling through and keeping the hammerlock applied. Cabana gets to the ropes and yells at the referee to break the hold which Hardy does. Hardy looks away and turns back into a Cabana sucker punch. Cabana with a gutbuster slam for a one count. Hardy wins a punch exchange by pummeling Cabana into the corner. Hardy charges in hitting a corner clothesline before delivering a running bulldog takedown. Hardy hits a side effect and a boot to the gut is followed by the Twist of Fate for the 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: MATT HARDY. Post match as Hardy celebrates Road Warrior clotheslines him down from behind then chokes him with his ring jacket. Road Warrior throws Hardy shoulder first into the ringpost before smashing his shoulder with a steel chair. Road Warrior stands over Hardy telling him it's over when he says it's over before leaving to the back as Hardy favours his shoulder on the mat. Josh and Steve put over Road Warrior as a threat. I hope Hardy isn't lumbered with Road Warrior long as he deserves much better.

Funaki goes to throw Kash outside but Kash reverses. Scotty punches at Kash, Kash knees the gut, Scotty reverses off the ropes Kash ducks Scotty then clotheslines him as Noble hits a spear in stereo. Kash keeps Funaki at bay as Noble covers for the 1-2-3. Kash showed nothing here. He's a shell of himself nowadays. I'd like to see Noble get a push. A feud with Chris Benoit would be good after he's done with JBL. Here Are Your Winners: KID KASH & JAMIE NOBLE.
