5 current WWE Superstars who overcame addiction

#1. Former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy is one of WWE's most popular superstars. Throughout his career the former Champion has put his body on the line so many times that it reached breaking point when Hardy became addicted to both pain medication and alcohol.

The former WWE Champion has taken the WWE Universe on his journey throughout his career, which has included a number of up and downs. Hardy has been in the public eye since he was a teenager and it's been a rollercoaster ever since.

The Charismatic Enigma recently noted that his struggles began when he was in his 20s:

“Since my early 20s, it’s been a rollercoaster ride with addiction and alcoholism. I’ve had sober runs, doing good for a while, but then I’d always go back. Now I hope I’m done with that. As long as I stay on the straight and narrow, the sky is the limit,” revealed Hardy.

At the age of 44, Hardy has recently been moved over to SmackDown and may be on the final run of his career.
