#5 Jeff Hardy vs Jinder Mahal - United States champion

Hardy is yet to win the United States Championship

Jeff Hardy has won various championships across the globe. However in the WWE, there is one prestigious title Jeff Hardy never won. It is the United States Championship. This accomplishment is still pending on his resume.

In the upcoming Superstar Shake-up, if Jeff Hardy gets drafted to SmackDown Live, he can collide with the 'Modern Day Maharaja'- Jinder Mahal for the United States Championship. This will be an outstanding clash as the two have never faced each other.

Jinder Mahal is having a good run in the WWE. He is the former WWE Champion and recently won the US title at WrestleMania. If WWE decides to put a contest between these two superstars for the US title, it will be an epic championship match to look out for.

#4 Jeff Hardy vs Shinsuke Nakamura

Hardy vs Nakamura will be an epic battle

Jeff Hardy has faced and defeated various wrestlers across the world. However, he is yet to face Shinsuke Nakamura- the winner of 2018 Royal Rumble match. Ever since his debut, Nakamura has made an outstanding impression in the WWE by taking out several top superstars in the company. If Hardy and Nakamura face one another, it will be a treat for the entire WWE Universe.

Shinsuke Nakamura has proven to the world that he can defeat almost anyone and everyone. If he comes face to face with Jeff Hardy and goes on to defeat him, he can join the list of legends who have defeated Jeff Hardy.

This rivalry shall be cherished by the WWE Universe for a long time. Both the superstars would give their cent percent and will not leave the ring till either of them annihilates one another. WWE should try and make it happen as soon as possible.

#3 Jeff Hardy vs Bobby Lashley

Jeff Hardy and Bobby Lashley can contribute towards various story-lines

Apart from Jeff Hardy, Bobby Lashley is another wrestler who returned to the WWE on the 9th April episode of RAW.

Lashley is one of the most powerful and brutal wrestlers who could tackle opponents of any size at will. He possesses an outstanding record in the MMA.

Though Lashley and Hardy have faced each other in other wrestling promotions, they never faced each other in the WWE.

The WWE Universe would be delighted to see a face-off between this two outstanding athletes. Their rivalry can garner high viewership and shall be extremely profitable from the WWE's viewpoint.

Both of them have headlined several main events and PPVs in the past. Thus, a face-off between the duo is a must.

#2 Jeff Hardy as the Universal Champion

Jeff Hardy can be an excellent Universal Champion

The Universal Championship is perhaps the most prestigious title that the WWE has at present. Jeff Hardy has never held this Championship belt. He has won several World Championship titles in the past and has proved to the world that he is a fighting Champion.

At present, Brock Lesnar is the Universal Champion and is scheduled to face Roman Reigns at the upcoming PPV- Greatest Royal Rumble. WWE can make Jeff Hardy face the winner of that match for the Universal Championship.

Such a contest would lead to outstanding promos. Hardy vs Reigns or Hardy vs Lesnar in an 'Extreme Rules' match for the Universal Championship can definitely turn out to be the match of the year.

#1 Jeff Hardy vs AJ Styles

Both Hardy and Styles would bring the best out of one another

Both Jeff Hardy and AJ Styles have a lot of similarities. Both of them have held the WWE Championship. Outside of WWE, they both fought in the same pro-wrestling promotion. They also competed against one another and thus know every minute detail about each other.

Styles vs Hardy would definitely be an outstanding match. Both of them are innovative wrestlers and neither of them hesitate to take risks. If Hardy gets drafted to SmackDown, then the WWE should schedule a match between AJ Styles and Jeff Hardy.

Both the players are unique crowd pullers and can boost the ratings of SmackDown Live. The audiences would be elated to see a match between arguably two of the greatest wrestlers alive today.
