Jim Ross [as Jeff Hardy starts to climb to the top turnbuckle]: Jeff Hardy, willing himself! [suddenly Vickie Guerrero appears and tries to pull Jeff down] Jeff Hardy living extreme-
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wh-
And there's Vi-
Vickie Guerrero!
The general manager! [Jeff kicks Vickie off of him] Our general manager-
There's no disqualification.
Here to intervene!
Tazz [as Jeff hits the Swanton Bomb on Edge, who is down] Jeff Hardy!
Swanton Bomb! And that should do it!
Can Jeff capitalize? Can Jeff sow it in for the cover?
Edge, down. Edge not moving.
Tazz [as the referee starts the 3-count] Got him, got him!-
[Vickie then grabs the referee to stop the count]
Aw, come on!
Wow.
Jim [as Vickie is screaming at the referee]: The general manager interrupted the count, or I personally guarantee you this one would be over!
[suddenly Matt Hardy comes out to the ring, steel chair in hand, and pushes Vickie into the ring]
Whoa, Matt Hardy!
Jim [as Matt corrals Vickie to the corner of the ring]: And now the tables got a little bit ho - set a little differently!
Yeah, no disqualification here!
Jeff's brother Matt... [Matt hands Jeff the chair amidst Vickie's screaming] ...handing him a legal weapon. [Jeff prepares to hit Edge with the chair, but Matt stops him, then goes outside the ring to pick up the other chair laying on the floor] The Hardys...
Ho-ho-ho-ha-ha!
Shades of TLC!
Tazz [as Jeff lays his chair under Edge's head] Con-chair-to city!
[suddenly Matt strikes Jeff in the head with the other chair. Jeff goes down and is out cold]
Oh, my God!
[the crowd boos loudly as Matt stares at his fallen brother. Edge comes to, looks at Matt, pulls Jeff in and, keeping one eye on Matt, covers Jeff for the three count]
Justin Roberts [as the referee hands Edge the WWE championship belt]: The winner of this match, and NEW WWE champion, the Rated-R Superstar, Edge!
[Edge celebrates with Vickie as Matt quietly leaves the ring and walks away]
Jim [after a long pause]: I'm absolutely in shock. I don't believe what we have just witnessed here tonight at the Royal Rumble.
Staggering. I - [stammers] - I don't know what to say, I...
Jeff Hardy was living his dream. And now his dream has become a family nightmare.
You know, JR, I-I don't think Edge had any idea, of any of this unfolding the way it unfolded, I - nor do I think Vickie had anything to do with this. In shocking fashion, we crowned a new WWE champion?
