Hate to be a spoiler for those planning to catch the replay, but Jeff Hardy put on an awesome 16-minute match with a very heel-like C.M. Punk to take home the World Heavyweight Title, putting on the second-best match of the night and saving an otherwise lackluster PPV outing.

With Punk and Hardy in the ring, the energy was up, the acrobatics were amazing and the match was nonstop action and entertainment. The win places Hardy in a position he’s long deserved: as a singles champ in the WWE. It’s a position he left the company for a stint in TNA over, in order to prove he had singles match potential in him after a period in which he and his brother Matt were among the best era of tag team wrestling the WWE has ever seen.

There will be no job hauling commercial furniture now for Hardy, whose championship victory left the whole crowd going home with a good feeling about them, and helping to establish Punk as a heel for the first time in his career.
