5 Biggest questions from this week’s WWE RAW, NXT, and SmackDown

#4 Why is Jeff Hardy constantly losing to Bobby Lashley on WWE RAW?

Bobby Lashey and Jeff Hardy on WWE RAW

For the third time in December, Jeff Hardy was forced to tap out to Bobby Lashley on WWE RAW. While Lashley has come across as a monstrous heel, Hardy has looked weak for several consecutive shows.

Hardy has found an unlikely partner in Riddle, and it seems like WWE is hoping for some positive reactions for "The Original Bro." With this feud, WWE might be working toward a big rivalry between Riddle and Lashley, but why is Hardy taking the fall every week?

WWE could have followed a different path to ensure that Riddle gets his chance against the WWE United States Champion. Instead, Hardy has tapped out to Lashley's Hurt Lock a few times. The WWE Universe loves Hardy, and his legendary career makes it surprising that the company is handing "The Charismatic Enigma" losses week after week.
