This marks two consecutive losses for Hardy in successive matches
In a dream match, we saw Jeff Hardy take on Daniel Bryan for a chance to face Samoa Joe in a qualifying match for the MITB briefcase. This match definitely stole the show with no contender coming out weak until the end. In the climax of the match, we saw Jeff Hardy tap out to Bryan when he applied the heel hook.

While Bryan winning is expected and is well and fine, the finish hurt Jeff Hardy's credibility as the US Champion. Losing his previous match against The Miz two weeks back and losing another one to Bryan this week clean is bad enough, him tapping out just makes things worse.
It really seems like WWE is hurting most of its Superstars' credibility just to give Daniel Bryan a push. Last week, Daniel Bryan destroyed Big Cass, a man almost twice his size and this week he beat the current US Champion.
Will we see Daniel Bryan go through Samoa Joe next week? One can only hope not. But given the current scenario, don't be surprised if that happens. Maybe Big Cass can cause a distraction next week and allow the Samoan to pick up a much-needed victory.

Kishan is a WWE writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling and has been associated with the division for 8.5 years. Even though he doesn't work at Sportskeeda on a full-time basis, writing about wrestling keeps his passion for the sport alive. He reports on important updates from wrestlers and rumors from trustworthy sources.
Kishan recalls the best match he witnessed when he was just 6 – the Hell in a Cell Match at Armageddon 2000. Watching the six men push each other to their limits and then some made him realize how incredible pro wrestling is.
He graduated as a Chemical Engineer a few years before he began his journey with Sportskeeda. A couple of years as a non-contracted writer for the website became a full-time opportunity that included managing the pro wrestling division.
Kishan's favorite wrestler is Triple H, as he can pull him into any storyline. In today's era, one can call him a Seth "Freakin" Rollins fan for the same reason. When he is not writing for Sportskeeda, Kishan works as a digital marketing professional.
