Jeff Hardy lost his United States Championship at Extreme Rules

At Money in the Bank Randy Orton made his much-anticipated return from injury after Shinsuke Nakamura defeated Jeff Hardy for the United States championship.

The audience in Pittsburgh and everyone watching at home expected Orton to come out and clash with Shinsuke, instead, the Viper decided to inflict further pain on the former US champion Jeff Hardy.

This apparent heel turn for Orton could signal a feud between him and Hardy. Alternatively he could be playing mind games with Nakamura and it could be part of a bigger plan.

It certainly makes sense for Orton to turn heel as fans had grown bored of him as a face, he also fits the villain persona perfectly.

Orton in the heel role offers the possibilities for some new feuds on SmackDown, with the likes of AJ Styles, Daniel Bryan or Jeff Hardy. Orton has history against the younger Hardy brother and it looks as if they will renew this rivalry in the upcoming weeks.
