The Hardy's come out and refs try to stop them. The Nemeth's leave before a fight can break out.
Overall thoughts: I really liked the four way and the main and opener were okay. The four way had some fun spots in it. The women didn't have that good of a night here. Mike Santana was supposed to have a match but that never ended up happening. The show was about average overall and I'd really only recommend the four-way from this though I wouldn't say it was must see. I'd give it a 5 out of 10 total.
