5 superstars that need to retain their titles at the Greatest Royal Rumble event 

#3 Jeff Hardy

Smackdown Live is the perfect place for the US Title to succeed.

When Jeff Hardy pinned Jinder Mahal for the United States Title, many were elated that Hardy is now carrying a title that would’ve been underutilized if Mahal had retained. Ever since taking the title to Smackdown Live, WWE has set up intriguing feuds for Hardy with the likes of Randy Orton and Shelton Benjamin.

Therefore, WWE cant book Hardy to drop the belt at the Greatest Royal Rumble event, as it will be a cheap way to get heel heat on Mahal and it would be baffling as to why WWE made Mahal drop the title in the first place.

Smackdown Live’s roster is the perfect place to elevate this midcard title, as the likes of Andrade “Cien” Almas, Samoa Joe and Eric Young all have tremendous abilities to put on 5-star classics with Jeff Hardy.
