Heading into his WWE Championship match with Triple H and Edge at Armageddon 2008, much was made of Jeff Hardy's past difficulties - both personal and professional.

Before the pay-pay-view, Jeff Hardy had never held a major version of a world championship. This was something that was continuously mentioned in the storyline building up the Triple Threat main event of the show.

2008 had been a challenging year for Hardy personally, too, having seen his home destroyed by fire in March.

The wrestling world was delighted, then, when Jeff Hardy finally claimed the WWE Championship - pinning Edge with a Swanton Bomb.

His title reign would last only a month, but Jeff Hardy's first major championship win is a moment that fans still remember fondly.

Speaking to Corey Graves on the After The Bell podcast, Jeff Hardy revealed he still has ambitions of being a world champion. Time will tell as to whether Hardy's recent return to Smackdown sees him taste championship gold again.
