10 Best WWE TV matches that were PPV main event worthy

#6 Jeff Hardy vs. The Undertaker (RAW - July 1, 2002)

The Underdog came close to becoming the Undisputed Champion

What’s better than a true underdog story?

Jeff Hardy was able to get himself a shot at The Undertaker in a ladder match by essentially making him angry. On the first RAW of July 2002, The Undertaker put his Undisputed Championship up for grabs against the popular Hardy brother, and nobody really thought Jeff had a shot.

It turns out that he had more of a chance than anybody expected, as he fought and scratched and clawed, but it was not quite enough.

In the end, The Undertaker showed Hardy some respect for putting up such a fight and asking for more, even after the match was over. It’s unfortunate that Jeff was destroying his body with narcotics at the time because this match could have been a major turning point in his career.

Instead, he was in TNA less than a year later, after doing a whole lot of nothing in his final 10 months with WWE.
