A good five years before Raw Homecoming, WWE were also loading up a Raw card for a switch to pastures new, as they left the USA Network for TNN. 

In a bid to help pop that crucial first rating, WWE booked the Hardys to defend their newly-won Tag Team Championships against Edge and Christian in a ladder match, just 24 hours after the two teams had gone to hell and back inside a steel cage at Unforgiven. 

Though they were beat up and probably hoping for an easier assignment, professional pride would not allow them to turn in a bout that would harm their legacy, a legacy which had started almost one year ago when they met in the first-ever tag team ladder match at No Mercy 1999. 

This one was shorter and without such promotion behind it but was still spectacular and a worthy addition to their series. 

They beat each other up good and proper and the first 'holy sh*t' moment came when Edge speared Jeff as the Charismatic Enigma was holding onto the belts, a spot that would be done again from even greater heights during TLC II at WrestleMania X-Seven. 

In another scary moment, Matt hit Christian with a back suplex off the ladder, with both men's heads coming within centimetres of the bottom rope. 

Getting desperate, E&C tried to knock Matt off with a Con-Chair-To from the top of the ladder, but Jeff and Lita intervened to keep the titles in the Team Extreme camp.
