5 steps to Jeff Hardy winning the WWE Championship again

There's a chance that many fans won't know what it feels like to see Jeff Hardy holding the WWE Championship, which makes sense, because it happened nearly a decade ago. The Charismatic Enigma's initial rise to the top of the card was handled perfectly, and at one point in time, you could argue that he was the face of WWE - ahead of John Cena.

While he wasn't able to maintain that momentum due to a variety of factors, the fact that Jeff is even back in the company is a miracle in itself. However, as much as we're loving his singles run on SmackDown Live, it feels like there's still room for growth with him, and it feels like we haven't seen the last of Jeff Hardy in a world title scenario.

With that being said, here are our five steps to Jeff Hardy winning the WWE Championship again.

Old Theme Song

Some people may not put too much stock into things like theme songs, but for us, they're pretty important. They can define a wrestler's entire persona or character, and it helps us to establish more of a connection with them over time. With some guys and girls they knock it out of the park, and for Jeff Hardy, his 'No More Words' theme fits him down to a tee.

His current song that is being used on a weekly basis is good, but it's nowhere near as fun as No More Words. That's the song that we associate with his rise to prominence and rise to the WWE Championship, and that's the kind of atmosphere we want to build around Jeff again. We've already seen the return of his face-paint, and now, it's time to take it one step further.

Lose To Nakamura

It has to happen

Shinsuke Nakamura is coming off the back of a series of losses to AJ Styles, and in truth, it's done his character much more harm than good. The King of Strong Style has played his new heel role perfectly, but for some reason, he's not seen as WWE Championship material. With that in mind, we're on board with the impending feud he seems to be preparing for against Jeff Hardy.

Obviously, the title of this entry gives away what we want to see, and for some people, it'll seem a little bit strange. After all, building Jeff up as a main event talent should involve him winning a series of matches - but in order to thrust him into the world title picture, we first need to get the United States title off of him.

Plus, Shinsuke could really use a bit of positivity right now.

Redemption Promo

He's had his demons

We may have seen Jeff do this on several separate occasions, but that's because it's a proven success. Jeff Hardy has been through a lot in his life, and he'll be the first person to tell you that. He's made his fair share of mistakes and while that'd be enough to get him blacklisted with some other companies, WWE recognises the star power that he possesses.

Following his fantasy booking loss to Shinsuke Nakamura, Jeff needs to cut a promo whereby he tells the crowd that he wants to go on one final run with the WWE Championship. It'll set up the story perfectly, and from there, WWE can start to implant the idea in the mind of the WWE Universe that Jeff will challenge for the title one day soon.

Build The Momentum

Here we go

From that point on, it's all about building momentum. Jeff needs to go on an absolute tear where he beats several of the top guys on SmackDown Live in convincing fashion. He can take a beating in the process, but in the grand scheme of the story, he needs to come out on top in order to make him seem like a legitimate threat to the WWE title.

Eventually, he can work his way into a number one contender's match around October time, potentially against AJ Styles (who we'd book to lose the strap). It's a story that goes back years, with Styles being frustrated with Jeff back when he had his demons in TNA.

Survivor Series Success

The crowning moment

After defeating AJ Styles, we'd have Jeff Hardy go on to challenge The Miz for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. These two men have met before for the Intercontinental Championship, but now, we're taking it up a notch. We'd have The Miz steal the title away from Styles at SummerSlam before going on a three-month run as champion, only to lose it to Jeff in one of the feel-good moments of the year.

Miz could even win it back the following month to set up a showdown with Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 35, but for the sake of this story, Jeff needs to have his crowning moment. It'd validate everything he's done to get back to the top over the last five years, and the fans would eat it up.
