Jeff walked out into the ring, swaggering with supreme confidence. He /knew/ that he was going to win this one. How could he not? He took the microphone that was offered to him, before he climbed into the ring, and stood facing the entrance. The crowd that had been cheering him began to fall silent as they anticipated his words.
Backstage, the other wrestlers watched on a large screen, waiting to see what Jeff Hardy would do.
"Wraith." He began, raising the microphone to his lips. "You may have beaten Triple H and Kurt Angle, but you will not beat me. I challenge you to a one on one match, with no interference from your supposed father or uncle. Just you and me against each other."
The crowds cheered again, loving the tension that filled the air. Jeff waited for a response,
None came. Wraith quite dramatically failed to appear under the Titontron.
"Too scared?" Jeff taunted, smiling with his victory. If she didn't appear, that would prove his point just as much, perhaps more, than if she had turned up and been beaten.
Facing the entrance as he was, he did not notice a figure stepping out from among the crowd. The announcers stared as Wraith glided past them with a secretive smile on her face. She slid silently into the ring, before she tapped Jeff on the shoulder.
He spun round, only to meet a fist in the face. He staggered backwards.
"I believe you wanted to see me?" Wraith said, her alto voice dry.
The match commenced. First Jeff would seem to have the upper hand and then Wraith, with the tide of the match constantly shifting back and forth between the pair.
Finally though, Wraith stepped up a gear, increasing her assault. Her moves still had the crispness of energy, as though she had only just started the match, whereas Jeff's were tired.

"I give you your winner, Wraith!"
Wraith took the microphone, and slowly turned on one heel to survey the packed hall.
"I spoke no lies. I have the papers to prove it. Kane is my father, but do not think that I will hide behind him and his reputation." She said, "I will stand up for myself with no need to call on others to aid me." And with this short phrase, she calmly walked out of the ring, having made her point, leaving Jeff in shock on the mat.
