Daredevil flyer looking to add to his legacy vs. maniacal sadist who loves nothing more than putting a screwdriver through someone's ear lobe. That was the story of Jeff Hardy vs. Randy Orton, and it was a damn fine one. That shouldn't come as too much of a surprise given their combined experience.

Still, nobody could've predicted that Hardy vs. Orton would go on to become one of WWE's best feuds in 2018.

Their Hell In A Cell match was dramatic, threw WWE's PG book out a nearby window with some gnarly spots and had a satisfying big bump before Randy's heel win. Even before that, Jeff and Orton were throwing caution to the wind (as Hardy is prone to do) by busting out table-breaking Swanton Bombs and other such violence.

Nobody will ever claim that Hardy is a brilliant mic man, and Orton himself often struggles with long-winded promos, but they didn't really need talking to eh...do the talking for them. Instead, they relied on Jeff's trusty bravery and the best parts of Randy's perverse, heelish need to watch others squirm.
