Jeff Hardy defeats Sheamus via pinfall.

So does Jeff have super powers?

With a bottle shattered across Sheamus's head, he's unable to avoid the Swanton. Jeff covers Sheamus for the three.

Sheamus, assuming it's all over, goes behind the bar for a drink. He returns to finish the job, but Hardy's face has been covered in paint. It's...uh....Nero? Willow?

Sheamus's bartender Jeeves interferes and is powerbombed through a table for his trouble. This gives Sheamus enough time to crack a chair over Jeff's back.

Twist of Fate stuns Sheamus as Hardy sets up the ladder! Leg drop? Swanton?

Jeff blocks a Brogue Kick with a snare drum and sends Sheamus into some tables.

Aaaaaand when we return, Sheamus is screaming gibberish into the camera.

Sheamus catches Jeff coming off the bar and slams him into a brick wall. Jeff dodges a shot from a guitar and continues to throw hands as we cut to the final break.

Hardy shoves Sheamus into a stall and wanders off. As Sheamus follows, he's hit by a ladder.

Sheamus brings Jeff to the restrooms where he slams him in between some doors. Next up? It's swirly time!

Jeff slams Sheamus into a couple of barrels and bounces some arcade basketballs off his head. Man, all this place is missing is a place to throw axes.

Of course, just like every bar fight, Jeff was driven across the bar. That's gotta feel gross.

Jeff launches a drink at Sheamus's eyes and begins bouncing him off the bar. Sheamus recovers after clearing his eyes, dropping Jeff back first on top of the bar.

I..I don't think Jeff understands what Sheamus meant by him being the bar.

Hardy sits next to Sheamus before the brawl starts. He says his brother had to delete his WWE career. Jeff is here to restart his.

Oh my God Sheamus is in a sleeveless shirt, suspenders, and a fedora. Alright. This is gonna be interesting.

It's time, boys and girls. The Bar Fight is up next. Ironically, the fans have had quite a low tolerance for this storyline.

Nakamura and Cesaro say that it's not Big E's time. It's the time of the Artist Collective. They give a "Champion Salute" before walking off.

Otis and Mandy Rose are back next week! Finally!!

After the match, AJ Styles slaps Metalik in the face, but is met with a springboard tornado DDT for his trouble. Will we see a new Intercontinental Champion next week?

Gran Metalik defeats Chad Gable via pinfall.

Gable locks in the grapevine on the leg only for Dorado to hit an incredibly high body splash off the top rope. A pair of moonsaults connect. However, the third is prevented when Gulak shoves him onto the top. Gable dumps Gulak to the floor and launches Dorado across the ring with an avalanche German suplex!

Dorado rolls out, though, and Metalik lands on top of a recovering Gable with a springboard splash! 1-2-3! Metalik is the new #1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship!

Gable escapes the Gu-Lock of Gulak and traps him in an ankle lock. Man, if you told me this man had some HOF lineage, I'd believe it.

An arm-trapped belly-to-back suplex from Gable spikes Metalik, but Gulak breaks up the pin. AJ Styles has been praising Gable for the whole match.

Dorado stuns Gulak with the Golden Rewind, but the pin is broken up by Metalik. Gable shoves Metalik into Dorado and plants both men with exploder suplexes.

Back from the break, and Gulak is in the middle of a technical showdown against Gable.

Nikki Cross gets another shot at SmackDown Women's Championship after beating Alexa Bliss

Gable finds himself on top for a moonsault to the floor, knocking all three opponents down as we cut to commercial. This, as the guy around here to cover 205 Live every week, is a match that I'm pretty excited about. Watch this one carefully. Four of the most underrated folks on the roster.

Gulak and Chad Gable are taken to the floor, giving the Lucha House Party some time to square off against one another. It's cut short when Gulak drags Dorado out. Metalik dives on Gulak, and gets back in the ring to take down Gable with a missile dropkick.
