10 Big Concerns Heading Into WWE Extreme Rules 2021
7. WWE Go To Far To Make Amends For Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy is a WWE legend and a sure bet to get two entries into the Hall of Fame. Whilst he may not be as dynamic in the ring and understandably so, he still has two very rare attributes for a WWE Superstar. Natural charisma and a genuine connection with the fans.
Two weeks ago, WWE committed an unspeakable act. In the midst of some 24/7 shenanigans, a gaggle of goobers hit the ring, only to take a tumble when Reginald flipped onto them. The usual motley crew were there - Drew Gulak, Jaxson Ryker (remember him?), Shelton Benjamin and... Jeff Hardy!
Former WWE and two time World Champion and one-half of one of the greatest tag teams in WWE history. It was an absolute travesty and quite rightly, Twitter blew up about it. Since then, Jeff Hardy has battled his way into contention for the WWE United States Title this Sunday.
But now is not the time for Damian Priest to drop the belt. One of the few recent success stories for NXT call ups, Priest has been booked well and looks like a main event player in waiting. The worry here is, that with fans losing faith in WWE, they decide to show us how wrong we were and strap up Hardy. It wouldn't be awful, but it wouldn't be the smart move.
