SmackDown is full of some prime contenders for Jeff Hardy's IC Title

#2 RETRIBUTION sets their sights on Jeff Hardy's IC Title

Jeff Hardy may have a short-lived reign thanks to the newest WWE faction

RETRIBUTION had the guts to go after The Fiend and Braun Strowman tonight. They may not be smart, but they've got a lot of guts. Now, eventually, they'll need to take off the masks and show us what they can do inside a ring. Considering they're looking at a hostile takeover, it's safe to assume that one of them would look to dethrone Jeff Hardy.

The group managed to take out Braun Strowman tonight, albeit momentarily before they were sent packing by the SmackDown locker room. One of the men that aimed to put a stop to them was, of course, Jeff Hardy, who injured his knee when AJ Styles attacked him from behind.

It's pretty obvious that they're the kind of group that holds a grudge, and will more than likely be targetting those who tried to ruin their shot at redemption in WWE. What better way to get revenge on a champion than to take the title that they so preciously hold dear?

Who could be in the group that dethrones Jeff Hardy?
