10 Substitutions That Could Improve WWE Survivor Series 2021 Teams
6. Ricochet Replaces Jeff Hardy
The Charismatic Enigma is a respectable choice here. Nearly 25 years after his initial rise to prominence, his résumé speaks for itself and his connection with the multitudes certainly can’t be called into question. However, he’s also likely on the final run of his Foley-esque career before he walks away to avoid being carried out. For as much as we may wish to see him in action at one last Survivor Series, however, perhaps it would be to SmackDown AND the contest's benefit if Jeff Hardy’s spot went to some younger blood that can still move around the ring like he used to.
The moniker ‘Human Highlight Reel’ has been applied to a myriad of wrestlers over the last two decades, Hardy himself included. However, when utilized properly, no superstar before or since has embodied that sentiment quite the way Ricochet has. On the rare occasion where he does step into the ring lately, he usually has the moment most people are talking about the next day whether on the delivering or receiving end of it.
His recent performance in Drew McIntyre’s open challenge was enough to leave a noticeable impression on the former WWE Champion, perhaps the captain can put in a good word for The One and Only with Pearce and Deville. His unmatched speed and agility would definitely be an asset to complement McIntyre’s power, Zayn’s resourcefulness and Cesaro’s versatility.
