We are back and there are many photos of Jeff Hardy in the ring with Michael Cole.
The Smackdown roster is on the stage as Michael Cole introduces Jeff Hardy.
We have a video feature for Jeff Hardy.
Jeff thanks everyone and he says watching all of his crazy moments, he cannot believe he did half of that stuff. This business has given him a way to express himself. It has allowed him to be the Charismatic Enigma. Jeff says he has lived the highest of highs and felt the lowest of lows. You have all stuck by his side
Jeff gets a Delete chant started. Jeff says to delete that. Jeff says he would not be here without Beth and his kids and he thanks everyone for making this night possible. Jeff says this is not a retirement speech. He says he does not know what will happen but let's find out together.
Samoa Joe's music plays and he congratulates Jeff for twenty years. He apologizes for being tardy and he says he was going to pop some bottles with Jeff, but that might not be the best thing.
Shane tries to take Joe's mic but Jeff says it is okay.
Joe says it is good that Jeff got to see that video because he probably wasn't coherent when that happened. Joe says he does not celebrate weakness and he does not believe in second chances when people like him have not gotten their first. Joe says what bugs him the most is that despite all of the mistakes you have made, you are okay being put on a pedestal and it makes him sick.
There have been just as many times that you have had people on your feet as you have let them down. People like you never change and the demons never leave, ready to take over. The next time you are powerless, Joe is willing to offer his hand. It is a one step program that will be quick and won't be painless.
Jeff says that Joe cannot rain on his parade. He has almost ended his career twenty times in the twenty years. Let's make this a moment right now.
Jeff is ready for a fight, but Joe walks to the back.
We go to commercial.
