Jeff Hardy as spoken about wanting to face Brock Lesnar in Hardy's "last match"

Brock Lesnar's first match inside of a WWE ring after making his television debut in 2002 was actually against Jeff Hardy. At the WWE Backlash 2002 PPV, Brock Lesnar and Jeff Hardy squared off in a quick five-minute match.

While Hardy put up a valiant effort, The Beast Incarnate would defeat The Charismatic Enigma via TKO after brutalizing Jeff Hardy with numerous, vicious powerbombs, leading to the referee to stop the match.

18 years later, and Jeff Hardy wants to have a rematch with Brock Lesnar. When promoting his return to Friday Night Smackdown back in April, Jeff Hardy would be interviewed by Corey Graves for WWE's After The Bell Podcast. Jeff Hardy would make the following comments about a potential showdown against Brock Lesnar.

“They asked me about Brock Lesnar and I totally forgot I was his first match [on WWE TV]. I totally forgot about that so maybe, yeah, there’s one more thing I would love to do you know? Get my a** kicked by him again, maybe? He’s just intimidating and insanely gifted. To be as successful as he was in the MMA world? It’s just amazing. So yeah that’d be interesting, then maybe, maybe that can be my last match? ”

It would appear that Jeff Hardy has given a lot of thought as to the opponents he would like to face soon. Given that his WWE contract is due to expire in 2021, some are considering this to be Jeff Hardy's final run with WWE.

A rematch with Brock Lesnar on a big stage such as WrestleMania could be the perfect way to end Jeff Hardy's WWE career in the eyes of many fans.
