After years of being in his brother's shadow, Matt Hardy would turn heel on Jeff Hardy at the 2009 Royal Rumble and cost him the WWE Championship to Edge.

The turn took in a very mixed reaction from WWE fans, especially since most thought the then returning Christian would have been suited better for the role and due to the morbid and uncomfortable turn, the promos between Matt and Jeff took. After a couple of matches, Matt would be moved to RAW to help bring an end to the feud, but it would turn out to be a misstep.

Despite how uncomfortable the feud with Jeff was, Matt was still riding a wave of momentum thanks to some big wins over his brother. He was the new big heel in town, but WWE higher-ups still had their doubts about his star power. Matt's 'highlights' on his RAW return would be briefly pursuing the United States Championship and forming a brief tag team with William Regal. He then jumped back over to SmackDown in June and turned face.

His transfer to RAW was entirely wasted, pointless and it accomplished nothing.
