WWE officials saw everything in Jeff Hardy, during the Hardy Boyz run, during their 2002 split, and 2006-2008 reunion. The WWE Championship was surely in his future, and it was, just not exactly yet.
This entry comes in as two for one. Following a suspension in early 2008, this was Jeff Hardy's chance of finally climbing back up the ladder. The most popular star on Smackdown and probably all of WWE, Jeff Hardy entered No Mercy on a wave of momentum, which included a pinfall win over The Undertaker a few weeks earlier. Hardy and Triple H had a solid match at No Mercy but 'The Game' would pin him after a pedigree. Hardy would challenge him again a few weeks later at Cyber Sunday, this time receiving almost all votes in a poll to challenge him, but would again go down to the pedigree.
Due to his popularity, WWE should have given Hardy a win at least once as he would eventually win the Championship at Armageddon that December, for an uneventful four-week reign. He could have really used those extra two months as Champion.
