Ten Controversial Extreme Rules Rumors That WWE Fans Need To Know About

#5 Jeff Hardy losing The United States title at Extreme Rules

Will Jeff Hardy drop The United States title due to injury?

While there have been no official rumors about Jeff Hardy dropping The United States title at Extreme Rules later this month, a new rumor from The Wrestling Observer notes that he is apparently dealing with a pinched nerve and an arm injury. With that being said, it makes sense that WWE would take the title off of him relatively soon to give him a chance to rest.

Whether that actually happens at Extreme Rules or not remains to be seen and will probably be dependent on just how severe Hardy's are, but it really doesn't make sense for WWE to keep a championship on an injured superstar for long. In fact, his match against Eric Young of Sanity seems to point to the former NXT standout taking the title at Extreme Rules.

Again, that part is just speculation at this time, but it seems like a great way for WWE to help establish a new star while simultaneously giving Hardy a little time to rest up. It could also be the start of a huge push for The Sanity stable, which would be a great way to rebound after being defeated in a six-man match on Smackdown Live.
