Friday Night Smackdown last week was truly a strange affair. The show opened up at the scene of a hit and run, which apparently had Jeff Hardy behind the wheel. Elias was injured in the crash outside the WWE Performance Centre, and had to drop out of the Intercontinental Championship Tournament.

Jeff Hardy was held responsible for the crash, as he was found nearby, in an inebriated state. Hardy took to the ring on Smackdown and addressed the crash, and his sobriety. He also alleged that Sheamus had set up the crash, to attack Jeff Hardy’s character.

Hardy addressed the fans emotionally. He tried to recollect the events before the crash. “So I pulled up to the Performance Centre, excited about the day, excited about the show. I grabbed all my stuff, got outta the car and BAM! It felt like somebody hit me with an anvil. Everything went dark…”

Hardy spoke about his history with substance abuse, and how he was scared he had slipped back into it again. He stated passionately that he was afraid he had fallen back on his old ways. “So I started questioning everything. Everything I worked for, the last 8 months, my sobriety my career, my family.”

Sheamus staged the crash to frame Jeff Hardy?

Jeff then spoke about the events after the crash, alleging that he was framed. “Even though my head was spinning, even I knew deep in my heart that I did not slip up last Friday. Out of the witnesses that showed up that they interviewed, they said they saw a person get out of my car, flee the scene…They said the person had red hair, and a red beard. Right? I was furious man”

Hardy was clearly holding Sheamus responsible, seeing as to how he already had a feud brewing with the Celtic Warrior. Jeff didn’t seem apologetic about the crash, but rather, was furious at how he was framed.

Sheamus entered the venue and had quite a bit to say to Hardy. “Don’t go pointing fingers, trying to cast aspersions on me fella. Because you’re just doing what you’ve done your entire life… Blaming other people for your problems.”

He berated Hardy, and told him to man up and take responsibility for his actions. “For once in your life, be a man, and admit to what you did.”

Sheamus then took the feud extremely personal, which cause Hardy to snap. “You’re just a junkie. And oh Jeff, don’t worry about the embarrassment and disappointment your wife and daughters would face after another one of your slip-ups…They’re used to it”

Sheamus continued this cruel scene, and attacked Hardy with a Brogue kick. He picked up a staggering hardy, and smashed him into the barricades, continuing the physical and mental torment.

This feud has escalated to an interesting level and may result in an excellent bout at Backlash.
