On the April 17th, 2017 episode of Monday Night RAW, Jeff Hardy wrestled Cesaro in what WWE hyped as a dream match. This instantly had us thinking, what would be some other fantastic Jeff Hardy matches in WWE? Here is our top 5 list. Note: This list is based upon Jeff as a singles competitor and not teaming with Matt.
Jeff Hardy Matches That We Want To See Happen In WWE
5) Jeff Hardy vs Kevin Owens
We initially had AJ Styles on our list but realized that they have faced off before in TNA, so we chose to remove it.
I think that Jeff Hardy vs Kevin Owens would be an awesome match and certainly fits in my description of what a dream match should be.
The match would work from the traditional standpoint of a heel (Owens) vs the babyface (Jeff). There is no doubt in my mind that Owens would be able to build up a feud with Jeff on the microphone. Jeff is not going to get booed by the WWE Universe and Owens could play the role of villain perfectly.
In the ring, I think it could be exceptional. Jeff isn’t known for his technical ability but always entertains the crowd. Owens is a fantastic wrestler in his own right, with a ton of moves in his arsenal. I would bet that Jeff would be willing to take even some of his more dangerous ones (google yourself top moves of Kevin Steen if you want a preview).
I think it would be a great match and one that I want to see before Jeff hangs up the boots.
4) Jeff Hardy vs Braun Strowman
You might be asking yourself, why the heck would I want to see Jeff Hardy get demolished by Braun Strowman?
To answer that, I will bring us back to one of my favorite Jeff Hardy matches: when he faced off against the much larger Undertaker in a ladder match.
Jeff is able to play the role of the underdog perfectly as this match demonstrated. He was able to take a ton of punishment and kept coming back for more.
We are used to seeing Braun dominate his opponents. Jeff could be the perfect opponent for him based on his ability as an underdog. Jeff is crazy enough to take a beating from the Monster that is Strowman and keep fighting.
The match really has the chance to get Strowman over as a heel. They could even tease the spot that the Undertaker and Hardy did at the end of their ladder match. Undertaker raised the hand of Hardy after he refused to give up. Strowman could tease that he would do the same after the match, but instead of raising Hardy’s hand, he would proceed to take him out again. Just imagine the heat…
I think a match between Strowman and Hardy has potential to be something new for Braun and could work in his favor if booked correctly.
