#7 Jeff Hardy

Will Jeff Hardy also return as a Singles Superstar?

Jeff Hardy is arguably the best high-flying Superstar in the history of WWE and this year itself, The Hardy Boyz became nine-time Tag Team Champions.

Unfortunately, Jeff sustained an injury in his leg and they were forced to vacate their SmackDown Tag Team Championships back in April. At that time, it was reported that Jeff would take six to nine months to fully recover and make a comeback to WWE.

However, that may not be the only issue that’s bothering Jeff right now. A couple of days ago, he was arrested for DUI in North Carolina. This is the second time this year when Jeff has been arrested for an alcohol-related crime.

Similar to Jimmy Uso’s case, WWE issued a public statement saying that the Superstars are responsible for their own actions. Jeff is expected to return to the ring next month, but as mentioned before, Matt Hardy is more inclined towards pursuing a Single’s run upon his return.

Will we see both these legends come back as individual Superstars or will we welcome The Hardy Boyz amidst deafening roars once again?
