5 reasons WWE booked bar fight match between Jeff Hardy and Sheamus at Extreme Rules 

#4. Plays up Jeff Hardy's past

Jeff Hardy has a lot of tough questions to answer at Extreme Rules

WWE will be telling a very intense story with Sheamus vs Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules and a lot of that has to do with the dark past of Jeff Hardy. In fact, it is almost the perfect way for WWE to tell a very real story about the consequences of alcohol abuse.

While some might wonder if a storyline like that needs to be told, it has resulted in some very honest and heartfelt storytelling. Furthermore the company is doing a great job of showing the ins and outs of substance abuse, which could help others through tough times right now.

In all honesty, WWE is mixing storyline with reality in the feud between Sheamus and Jeff Hardy at Extreme Rules to send a message about the dangers of substance abuse. Maybe some agree with airing that kind of content on television and maybe some don't, but it could, in some way, help others cope with their own demons at the moment.
