WWE RAW: 2 superstars who flopped and 3 who impressed – Randy Orton’s devastating RKOs, 3-time world champion brutalized by returning superstar (May 10th, 2021)

#1 Flopped on WWE RAW: Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy could have done more on WWE RAW

Jeff Hardy returned to action on WWE RAW this week. He faced Jinder Mahal in a singles match that resulted in an easy victory for the latter. It was quite an underwhelming booking involving Hardy, and the creative should be blamed for not doing enough with his presence inside the ring. Hardy barely had a couple of spots during which he was seen fighting back.

This match was evidently set up to introduce Shanky and Veer. However, Mahal never had to seek help from two of his allies who were present at ringside. Instead, he dominated Jeff Hardy throughout the match and used the Khallas to pin his opponent in the middle of the ring. It would have been much better if the match was well-balanced between the two WWE RAW Superstars.

Jeff Hardy is brilliant at putting over younger talents. However, it would barely make a difference if Hardy is continuously subjected to weak booking on WWE RAW. The creative should use him to help elevate heels that are actively pursuing feuds at a mid-card level. Hopefully, we will see him involved in better matches and storylines going forward.
