According to PWInsider, the Jeff Hardy thing is likely a storyline thing. I don't get how they'll use this for the PPV, they may as well have just not put Hardy into the match.
Apparently several rasslin' sites across the 'net are making claim that Edge will ultimately end up the culprit. This makes up for some very interesting possibilities, some possible, some just created in my hopeful mind...
1. Commence feuding. Yeah, this would make perfect sense, being's Edge has been out for a while, he'll need to come back and fight someone. This would be the opportunity to get Jeff out of the title hunt and into a great, NEW rivalry. And who knows... further down the line, maybe one of these two will be defending the title against the other.
2. Jeff picks up the title tonight. Though this is probably one of the most nonsensical things I've ever thought of, it could kind of work, almost. Give Jeff the title as sort of a "test run" mode, then have him drop it to Edge at the next PPV. Several thwarted attempts from Trips to get his title back has him feuding with Koslov.
3. Edge needs a way to take down La Familia - or more specifically, Vickie. 'Taker takes out Show tonight, while Edge takes out Hardy (who won the Extreme Rules against 'Taker). Edge and Taker would form sort of an "alliance" due to a common goal, and Taker goes for this saying something about how Edge has been sent to hell and seen some kind of darkness or whatever, and has been changed. This allows Taker to agree to let Edge do his bidding for him.
As silly as that whole last scenario sounded, this is actually what I'd like to see. Why not have a little vintage throwback into the mix? I mean come on; Edge and 'Taker? It's got Attitude-era written all over it.
The first scenario, though, is most likely the ultimate outcome. I heard the talk that when Edge comes back he won't be immediately feuding with 'Taker, so it would make sense to put him in a feud with Hardy. That would be a great way for Edge to have his snide, snake-like comeback, and a good way to rub Hardy off the title scene.
Whatever happens, though, I'm just really hopeful that this will end up being Edge's doing, as when he left we were seeing more of a hardcore, insane, Brood-style Edge. No more of this Rated-R crap - bring Edge back and bring him back in a big way.
