The point about Matt Hardy helping Jeff Hardy win the WWE Title is a bigger hole than the point about Matt not having a reason to be jealous. When Matt won the ECW Title, sure, people were happy, but he didn't want it to be overshadowed by Jeff Hardy winning the WWE Title.
Since the Hardy Boyz have come to the WWE, there has been the WWE Title. The World Heavyweight Title was created in 2002, and if they wanted to be ECW Champion, they would have worked for ECW, wouldn't they? Matt and Jeff have dreamed about becoming WWE Champion. Jeff Hardy was about to accomplish that before Jeff. I assume that is why he attacked Jeff Hardy. That and generally being the smarter and better of the two brothers -- responsible for most of their success -- and getting less credit for it.
I do think that "giving everything to Jeff and then taking it all away" will be a theme that comes into the feud. If it doesn't, well, then it should have. As for WrestleMania plans? There is no way that Triple H is not the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XXV. I'm sorry, but there's just no way. I once again feel safe predicting Edge vs. Triple H for the WWE Title (I thought we'd get Edge & Christian versus The Hardys for a while), which I think is the best SmackDown! main event possible. That leaves Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy to do battle, and for Christian to work Money in the Bank, or something.
That being said, if we do get Edge, Christian, Matt and Jeff Hardy's fates tangled in coming months, I really hope that it is the older brothers vs. the younger brothers. I think the WWE have come to their senses and realised that Christian will be far more interesting coming in as a face than a heel, and that they are going to try and ride that for a little bit, instead of fighting against it.
