10 WWE Stars With The Most SmackDown Matches Ever

4. Matt Hardy - 267 Matches

Just when it seemed as though the list was going to be fairly predictable, up comes the surprise name.

If Edge and Kurt Angle personified the glory days of SmackDown, two main event talents who weren't afraid to lace up their working boots and wrestle for 20 minutes every week, Matt Hardy represents what SmackDown would eventually become. The working boots were still there, it just became more of a show for the middle of the card.

There's nothing wrong with this of course, and over the course of his 267 matches on the show Matt Hardy played an integral part in making it great.

It was here that Matt Hardy V1.0 was born after all. Matt is mostly known for tagging with his brother Jeff however, and 1999 was their breakout year, picking up their first WWF Tag Team Championship and sowing the seeds of their legendary rivalry with Edge and Christian.

As for his first match on SmackDown, this also came in that seven-team elimination match that also represented the SmackDown debuts of Edge and Christian. 11 years and 266 matches later, Matt would wrestle for the last time on SmackDown, in a losing effort against Alberto Del Rio, who himself has 141 matches on the B show.
