Are you thinking what we're thinking?

This is Jeff Hardy, one of WWE's biggest ever daredevils, surrounded by a 15-foot Steel Cage and on the pay-per-view stage. Is there any chance he won't take a leap of faith from atop the structure? The script writes itself for him to rekindle some old Hardy magic.

Should both Sheamus and Cesaro find themselves grounded inside the ring - and Jeff just happens to be on top of the cage - people will be expecting something insane. It'd be super sweet to see Matt gesture for Jeff to put his neck on the line by performing a spectacular Swanton Bomb dive. Randy Orton will love that one.

In all seriousness, a spot like that is what shows with the 'Extreme' branding should be all about. WWE fans have missed that reckless quality to Jeff's matches, and this may be too good a chance to pass up for Hardy to turn back the clock.
