#2 Jeff Hardy's extreme pyro botch
Jeff Hardy won his first WWE Championship after nearly 14 years since he made his debut. Hardy defeated Triple H & Edge in a triple threat match at Armageddon 2008 to win the title.
However, Hardy found himself at the unfortunate end of a series of accidents including a hit-and-run automobile accident and an accident involving his pyro.
Jeff Hardy was supposed to be a guest in the Cutting Edge show with his 2009 Royal Rumble opponent Edge. While making his way out, a malfunction occurred during Hardy's entrance pyrotechnics, and he got pelted in the face with sparks.
It was revealed to be a part of a storyline with his elder brother Matt Hardy being the perpetrator. However, the way WWE pulled off the segment and the reaction of the live crowd made Hardy's injury look legitimate.
