Matt Hardy continued in his heel persona in his latest blog on WWE Universe as he spoke about the challenge he issued to his brother Jeff for this Friday on Smackdown. In his blog he writes:

As most of you know, I have challenged Jeff Hardy to a one on one match for Smackdown this week, on Friday, February 27th. If Jeff Hardy has any courage, if he is truly a man-he will step into the ring with me on Smackdown and we can settle this once and for all. Let me prove to everyone what they have known all along, even if they refused to admit it.. When it comes down to Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy, I am the superior performer and wrestler. Period. I'll make this statement into a fact on Friday-if you're enough of a man to show up Jeff. This will be a Smackdown that you do not want to miss, I can promise you that.
