15 Ways WWE Has Already Ruined Their Own 2020 Draft

4. Jeff Hardy's Farewell?

Jeff Hardy jumped to Raw as the 10th pick announced on the 12 October episode by Stephanie. On that very same show, Tom Phillips revealed that Hardy would still show up to wrestle the recently-returned Lars Sullivan on SmackDown's 'Season Premiere' on 16 October.

The issue here is that Jeff called out Seth Rollins for still kicking around on Raw even though he'd been drafted to SmackDown. Hardy did exactly the same thing by gate-crashing the blue brand "one last time" days later for a squash against Sullivan.

Again, WWE ignored the minor details, and they didn't even have the decency to promote Jeff's match as a farewell like they did with New Day.
