3. Jeff Hardy vs. The Undertaker (Smackdown, November 2008)
As they proved on Raw in 2002, The Undertaker and Jeff Hardy have always worked well when posted opposite one another. In November, 2008, WWE taped 2 weeks worth of Smackdown content in Manchester. The first broadcast was headlined by an 'Extreme Rules' collision that was very appealing to the live crowd. In truth, the show had been poor overall. Only Matt Hardy v. Shelton Benjamin had felt impactful, but Undertaker vs. Jeff Hardy more than made up for that. In 2008, 'Taker wasn't adverse to crashing through tables, falling off of ladders of being cracked with vicious steel chair shots. Earlier in the year, he'd worked a memorable TLC bout against Edge at the One Night Stand Pay-Per-View. Against Hardy, he once again worked wonders. The match went around 15 minutes, which was the ideal length. The wrestlers didn't leave much time for stalling, which was just as well. Just like many matches of this kind involving Jeff, this was balls-to-the-wall all the way. As a show of respect, Undertaker laid down for Hardy, and the UK fans were delighted.
