ECW 16th December 2008
Baltimore, Maryland
The opening video aired and fireworks lit up the stage. Slammy Award winners Todd Grisham and Matt Striker welcomed us to the show. Grisham plugged tonight's main event and Striker reminded us that Jeff Hardy became WWE Champion on Sunday.
Matt Hardy came out to the ring and called the last couple of days amongst the best in his life and career. He said when he and Jeff came into WWE ten years ago, they just wanted to make names for themselves. Even when they decided to pursue singles careers, they came together on Sunday night as world champions.
Chavo Guerrero came out to the ring. He said Vickie Guerrero sent him out to take care of him because his last name was Hardy. He said Edge would win back the WWE Championship. He also said he would defeat Matt Hardy tonight to become the ECW Champion. He said Vickie already talked to Teddy Long about it.
Cue Teddy. He came out in an elf costume. Chavo laughed at him. Teddy said he talked to Vickie and Matt, and Matt agreed to give Chavo a title shot. He informed Chavo the match would begin right now. Before he left, he told Vickie to lay off of the Christmas cookies and when he looks at her, he loses his appetite, playa.
1. Matt Hardy defeated Chavo Guerrero to retain the ECW Championship in 9:50. Hardy controlled the opening moments of the match before Chavo started working on Hardy's arm as the show went to commercial.

Grisham said not many families can say they have two champions in the family. At the nine minute mark, Hardy hit a Russian leg sweep from the second rope. He hit the Side Effect for a two count. He went for the Twist of Fate, but Chavo countered and went for the Three Amigos. Hardy countered the third one into the Twist of Fate for the win.

Footage aired of The Boogeyman winning his match last week.
2. Finlay (with Hornswoggle) defeated Gavin Spears in 3:57. Finlay and Hornswoggle were already in the ring. Horny stole the Slammy and spilled water on Striker. Spears gained the advantage on the floor by going after Hornswoggle and attacking Finlay. Finlay hit his moves and then the Celtic Cross for the win.
After the match, Striker offered Finlay and Hornswoggle their hat in return for the Slammy. Grisham plugged the main event.

Grisham and Striker were able to get their Slammy Award. They sent it backstage to DJ Gabriel and Alicia Fox. They were dancing when Santa Claus and Reindeer came in. "MOVE!" yelled Santa. Mark Henry was Santa and Tony Atlas had a blinking red light on his nose and antlers on his head. Henry cut a Christmas themed poem about catching and squashing Hornswoggle.
Backstage, Tiffany welcomed Kofi Kingston and CM Punk back to ECW and wished them luck in the main event. Ricky Ortiz said Christmas was around the corner and gave Tiffany a present. It was a Ricky O Rally Towel. Punk said Ortiz was going to win the "Oh my God" Slammy for next year with that gift. Ortiz had one for Punk and Kofi too.

3. Jack Swagger, The Miz, and John Morrison defeated CM Punk, Kofi Kingston, and Ricky Ortiz in 10:20. The heel team was already in the ring and awaited the face team. Kofi and Morrison started the match. Ortiz tagged in to the applause of a few. Punk tagged in and hit a nice powerslam on Morrison, followed by the corner knee and bulldog. The faces cleared the heels from the ring.

Back from commercial, Punk suplexed Morrison from the apron back into the ring. Kofi tagged in and with Morrison in the corner, he jumped from the mat to the top rope. Swagger strolled over and nonchalantly pushed Kofi to the floor. Swagger tagged in and worked on the head and neck area of Kofi. Swagger used his power to prevent Kofi from making a tag.
Ortiz received the hot tag and slowly cleared the ring. He tried to get the fans behind him but no one responded. Ortiz hit a physical missile dropkick on Swagger and Morrison broke up the pinfall. With everyone else on the floor, Ortiz tried a springboard move on Swagger, but Swagger kicked him. Swagger hit the gutwrench powerbomb for the win.
