5 Challengers for Sami Zayn’s Intercontinental Championship after his victory over Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 36

#3 Jeff Hardy

Fans would love to see Matt Hardy as the Champion again

In mid-March, Jeff Hardy returned to action on SmackDown and took on King Corbin in a match that he ended up winning. Although, there was no backstory to their match, and no storyline developing for The Enigma. WWE decided to keep him away from the picture during the WrestleMania buildup.

Hardy is a fan favorite and we could watch the Superstar return to the SmackDown ring soon after The Show of Shows and get back into some big rivalries.

We’ve seen Jeff perform well as a single’s and a tag team competitor, and with Matt Hardy out of the company, we will likely see him continue as a solo performer for some time.

With Jeff back and looking for some top storylines to get busy on SmackDown, we could watch the Superstar make his way back on the Blue brand soon and go after Sami Zayn and his Championship. Both Jeff and Zayn are great performers, and a rivalry between the two men could turn out to be great.

With The Artist Collective trying to keep the title on Zayn, it will be a great underdog story for Hardy to follow to get back into the groove and once again become a major Superstar on SmackDown.
