Jeff Hardy lost to The Miz and thus won't be part of this year's Money In The Bank Ladder festivities. It's more likely he'll defend the United States Title on the show, although it's not exactly clear who that'd be against right now.

It's a surprise to learn, but Jeff has only ever been in one MITB match throughout his WWE career. That happened back at WrestleMania 23 in 2007, three years before WWE turned the concept into an annual pay-per-view in 2010. By that point, Hardy was gone from the company and working for TNA.

Jeff's affinity for climbing ladders and hitting his Swanton Bomb off of them makes his limited MITB record a shock. His style suits the match type, so it's notable WWE chose not to put him in it this year.
