In addition to the Undertaker returning tonight, myself, Matt Hardy-"The Man Who Will Not Die", "The Lifeblood Of Smackdown", "The Sensei Of Mattitude", The Black Cloud", "The Workhorse" returns to the ring in MAJOR singles action. After what CM Punk did to Jeff last week, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be defending the "Hardy" name. And tonight is gonna be a big challenge for me, returning to the ring in a singles match after having serious, major abdominal surgery only 8 weeks ago. When the doctor said he would physically clear me at 6 weeks, but I should probably wait 8 weeks to train, and then 12 weeks to wrestle-I asked the Doc one question. "Doc, do you know what my name is?" He responded and said "Matt Hardy, the guy that won't die or something, right?" I said "Yeah"... I'm throwing myself immediately into the mix because I only know how to approach life in one way, and that's by acting and saying "GO! GO! GO!"

I'll get back to 100% along the way, as I go. I have made things right with my brother Jeff Hardy-we are both at peace with one another-actually tighter now then we've ever been. For everyone who asked about all the"incidents" that happened to Jeff, I'll let it be known right now that I didn't commit any of them. I played mental games with Jeff, playing off his misfortunes, to get him in the ring. It was wrong and I know it was wrong. But I had to prove to myself that I was not the "lesser" Hardy, but that I was the "superior" Hardy. As it turns out, I learned a very valuable lesson. There is no such thing as a "lesser" Hardy and a "superior" Hardy. There is only two people, two men, two BROTHERS-Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy. In my next blog, I will explain everything, and you will understand things like you never have before.

But as far as tonight goes, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT miss Smackdown at 8 p.m. on MyNetwork TV, the best wrestling show on television. So right now, tell all your friends and favorite websites about this blog, pass the info along, forward the link-because I want everyone watching what's gonna be an AWESOME edition of Smackdown tonight! Thanks amigos!
