#3 Big E earns an opportunity against Jeff Hardy

Big E, thanks to AJ Styles, might have an easy way into the Intercontinental Title scene
While Big E is always about big men slapping meat, on his way to his dream match with Goldberg we can put him in line for an Intercontinental Championship shot. Daniel Bryan always said that AJ Styles wasn't a real fighting champion. Jeff Hardy absolutely will be and if Big E looks to have earned an opportunity, we can bet that the Charismatic Enigma will give it to him.

This also plays into the issue with Jeff Hardy's knee. That is, if WWE wants to keep going with that injury, Big E has the perfect submission move to take advantage of that now. He debuted the Stretch Muffler a month back, adding the move to his ever-growing arsenal and making him a well-rounded performer at that.
Not one to back down from a challenge, Jeff Hardy would most certainly be game to take on Big E, even if he knows he's going in with a severe disadvantage. We get a lot out of this match, including a possible return to the IC Championship for Big E.
Even if he fails, a great match with a legend like Jeff Hardy is still valued, and would be a big step in his run as a singles competitor.
