14. Jeff Hardy

There's plenty of stock left in Jeff Hardy, whose current WWE contract expires after WrestleMania 35, though it's expected that the company will exercise a pending one-year option to prevent this bonafide star from heading elsewhere.

Though Rey Mysterio has replaced him as SmackDown's foremost veteran gatekeeper babyface, fans still love watching Jeff do his thing. That he continues putting his body through such punishment at 41 years old could lead to his early retirement, but it's impossible to fault the man's efforts. Expect him to do reasonably well on Sunday night.

Chances: Extremely slim.
