The Charismatic Enigma Jeff Hardy is one of WWE's most long-standing performers who has been competing in the ring since the Attitude Era.
Hardy is now 44 years old, but still has plenty left to offer the WWE Universe. He is currently competing for the SmackDown brand after being drafted from RAW in the 2021 WWE Draft.
It has been a fresh start for the former WWE Champion and has given him the chance to mix it up with superstars who he may never have faced before. Rightfully, many superstars should be queuing up to face Jeff Hardy, one of the all-time greats who still receives a strong reaction from the WWE Universe.

There are still plenty of dream matches for the five-time Intercontinental Champion, and with WrestleMania 38 just around the corner, it's time to start plotting. There are many opportunities and match-ups that could be had.
That being said, let's take a look at five potential WWE dream matches for Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania 38, in no particular order.
#5. Jeff Hardy vs. Edge at WrestleMania 38
Jeff Hardy and Edge last faced each other in 2009 on SmackDown, but so much has changed for both men since then. Jeff Hardy left WWE for a period whilst performing for IMPACT Wrestling and Edge retired and defied the odds to return in January 2020.
One-half of The Hardy Boyz has already stated that he would like to face Edge one more time before they both hang up their boots for good:
"Actually, last month [October 2021] I spoke to Edge and I think he said something, ‘I think we gotta do it one more time’. Totally. Even in the rumble last year, I didn’t last no time – I was in and out and he won the rumble. I had said beforehand that it would be cool if me and Edge had this face off, just for a moment because of our history. As long as he keeps his health and I keep mine, that’s another big match."

Of course the pair have history at the event, having been involved in the first-ever Triangle Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at WrestleMania. The pair have shared immortal WrestleMania moments together, most famously when Edge speared Jeff Hardy as he hung down from the titles suspended above the ring.
The history is there. A Hardy vs. Edge clash at WrestleMania would create immense hype and would surely go down as a classic. The chance to see these two legends lock horns once more on the Grandest Stage of Them All is an opportunity WWE cannot miss.
#4. Jeff Hardy vs. Ricochet at WrestleMania 38
Yes, it's true. Jeff Hardy and Ricochet have only squared off against each other one-on-one just once. It happened on WWE's B-show, Main Event. Now that both men are applying their craft on SmackDown, it's time we got to see a clash of two generations.
It may not exactly scream WrestleMania-worthy in some eyes, but when you take into account the styles of both men, it makes sense. Jeff Hardy, the daredevil of his era against Ricochet, the daredevil of his era, it would make for an exciting encounter and one that raise the roof at the AT&T Stadium.
#3. Jeff Hardy vs. Drew McIntyre at WrestleMania 38
Jeff Hardy and Drew McIntyre are certainly enjoying themselves at the moment, teaming up on SmackDown. They are making the most of their pairing as they come up against the laughing duo of Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss.
What if, in the new year, we see the pair come to blows and get in the way of each other's chances of earning a title shot at WrestleMania? It's possible, and it could result in a hard-hitting feud between the two.
Both superstars have never faced each other one-on-one in WWE, so it could be a major first-time clash on the Grandest Stage of Them All.
#2. Jeff Hardy vs. Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 38
Remember when Brock Lesnar first arrived on the scene in WWE in 2002 and destroyed Jeff Hardy and his brother Matt? Jeff went onto face The Beast Incarnate one-on-one at the Backlash pay-per-view days later in a losing effort.
It's been almost twenty years since they have stepped in the ring together and so much has changed. Brock is essentially WWE's top babyface right now, and Jeff is the most adored superstar on the roster.
A match between the two would reignite history, but it would be a full-circle moment in WWE's biggest event of the year.
#1. Jeff Hardy vs. Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 38
A surprising statistic here: Roman Reigns and Jeff Hardy have never faced each other in a WWE ring. Are the pair being kept away from each other on purpose?
Jeff Hardy has never won a Royal Rumble match and that could all change at the January event in 2022. It would give Hardy the platform to challenge for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania against Reigns, a championship that he has also never held.
You know for sure that the WWE Universe would be firmly behind The Charismatic Enigma, which could ultimately be his last swansong. There would be a lot riding on the match and it is every inch worthy of main-eventing the show of shows.
