The rivalry between Elias and Jeff Hardy stems from an incident that transpired on SmackDown earlier this year, when Sheamus framed Hardy as a drunken driver who ran down Elias. During his return on the WWE Draft 2020 edition of RAW, Elias returned and attacked Hardy by hitting with a guitar. At WWE Hell In A Cell 2020, these two men finally met one on one.

Following the previous Hell In A Cell encounter, it was tough for these competitors to match the tremendous work in the opener. This was decent match - until we got to the finish. In the conclusion to this contest, Elias looked to use his guitar once again. However, Jeff Hardy blocked his opponent's attack and used the guitar against Elias to cause the disqualification.

Elias vs. Jeff Hardy was more or less just the start of their feud. The non finish helped to move along this ongoing story and set things up for the next chapter. Having to follow the Hell In A Cell opener was a daunting task, but this wound up being nothing more than a buffer match.
