5 WWE Superstars who had to relinquish their championship due to injury

#4 Jeff Hardy

Matt and Jeff had to relinquish the tag titles due to Jeff's leg injury

It is crazy to think despite pulling off some of the death-defying spots in WWE history, Jeff Hardy is still able to walk on his own feet. The Charismatic Enigma has made a career out of performing insane high-flying moves but never got injured during the initial phase of his WWE career. It is only in the past few years that the younger Hardy has succumbed to various injuries which have kept him out of action for an extended period of time.

Since returning to the company at WrestleMania 33 in 2017, Hardy has had to take time off due to injury on two occasions. Hardy suffered a shoulder injury which kept him out of action for more than 6 months. Hardy also recently vacated the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, which he alongside his brother Matt, following a leg injury.

It seems like years and years of having a high-octane style of wrestling is finally taking its toll on the former WWE Champion. As of this writing, there hasn't been any clarity on when fans can expect to see The Rainbow Haired Warrior back inside the squared circle.
