It’s one thing to idolize a WWE legend and get into the business to follow in their footsteps. However, it’s a completely different thing when fans compare you to a WWE legend who has made a huge name for himself in the industry. While Leon Ruff is very new to the WWE Universe, he has already been compared to a future WWE Hall of Famer.

According to Fightful, a wrestler on the WWE main roster has already compared the young Leon Ruff to none other than Jeff Hardy.

“‘One wrestler on the WWE main roster compared Ruff to an early Jeff Hardy as a name that everyone wanted to work with, even if it was an enhancement match, because of the lengths he went to in order to make people look good,’” wrote Ross Sapp and DeFelice.

Hardy is a three-time WWE World Champion and a multi-time Tag Team Champion in the company. Just like Ruff, Hardy too won a major title within the first year of his debut.
