10 Former Midcarders Who Could Return To WWE As Main Eventers In 2015

7. Matt Hardy

Matt Hardy's career is well-documented, so it would be redundant to recap it here. Matt, along with brother Jeff, are two of the most popular WWE superstars of recent years. The Hardy's certainly have an intense fan-following and are currently two of the most popular wrestlers in TNA. But as popular as Matt is and was, he has never been as popular as Jeff. As a result of this, Matt has not had the same kinds of opportunities that Jeff has. Jeff Hardy was pushed as a world champion before leaving the company in 2009 while Matt was stuck in the midcard. But Matt is a great all-rounder. It was Matt who would structure those exciting Hardy Boys matches in the early and mid-2000's and hold them together in the ring. Matt never got a real main event run in WWE. He was ECW champion, but that was very much the same as being a midcarder. He can still bring it in the ring (as evidenced by the crazy Full Metal Mayhem match TNA aired recently) and has a dedicated fan base. The question is: would WWE give Matt another chance considering his erratic behaviour before and after leaving the WWE in 2010?
