#2. Jeff Hardy entered the United States Championship match for WWE Extreme Rules

Damian Priest defeated Jeff Hardy in a United States Championship match on WWE RAW last week. This week, Hardy got a match against Sheamus.

Hardy fought to get himself a spot in the United States Championship match at Extreme Rules. He fought off Sheamus’ aggression with his speed and experience.

The Charismatic Enigma targetted Sheamus’ nose and left The Celtic Warrior bloodied. Sheamus went on a roll late in the contest, but Hardy caught him with a sunset flip for the upset victory.

The match wasn’t great, but the result will allow the fan-favorite veteran to compete in a big match on Extreme Rules. Just a couple of weeks back, he was seen chasing the 24/7 Championship. WWE is doing some damage control with this booking.
