The Hardys and Lita teamed up against “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon on an April edition of Raw, and the fallout led to a match between Triple H and Jeff Hardy for the Intercontinental Championship. Hardy was upset with how the Raw match went, and wanted to take it out on Triple H the following SmackDown. Austin and Stephanie weren’t in the arena, so Triple H was on his own. It was thought that both Lita and Matt also were not around, but Matt rushed to the ring, and while the referee was distracted, Matt hit Triple H with a chair. Jeff then hit his Swanton Bomb and got the pin for the Intercontinental Championship.
