10 Big WWE Returns That Could Happen In 2017
3. Jeff Hardy
There's something about Jeff Hardy that makes him irresistible to wrestling fans. For nearly 20 years, the star has been an innovator in the sport, with his unique charisma making it clear that the Hardy you see on TV is the Hardy you get in real life. Not only has that endeared him to crowds, but it made him a bona fide superstar and former WWE Champion.
For a long time, it looked like Hardy would never be back in the company. He left in 2009, citing a need to take some time off to rest, but days later, he was arrested on drug-related charges that were ultimately dropped. Still, while they were pending, WWE wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole, so he went back to TNA.
Hardy finally managed to get cleaned up, and with his contract supposedly coming due in February, the 39-year-old could make a return to WWE. For Hardy's part, he's expressed interest in two long-held goals that never materialized during his earlier runs - headlining WrestleMania and competing in a Hell in a Cell match.
