Jeff Hardy has established himself as one of the most popular superstars ever in WWE history.

With his colorful face paint, dazzling offense and unique personality, the former WWE Champion has gathered a legion of fans who cheer for him whenever he appears.

Outside of WWE, he has had success in Impact Wrestling, where he is a former World Champion.

Hardy has been missing for several weeks now, ever since losing to Randy Orton at Hell In A Cell, but will return this Tuesday on SmackDown Live, where he will face Samoa Joe.

So in preparation for his return, here are 5 things you (probably) didn't know about the Charismatic Enigma, Jeff Hardy.

#1.He has never won at Summerslam

Despite being a former WWE, Intercontinental, European and Tag Team Champion, there is one accolade that Jeff Hardy seemingly cannot hold: a win at Summerslam.

Hardy is 0-7 at the Summer event, with his first loss taking place in 1999, where he and his brother Matt came up short in a tag-team turmoil match.

His most recent loss came this year, when he was defeated by Shinsuke Nakamura in their US Title match.

Interestingly, Jeff only has one win at WrestleMania, making him 1-5 at the annual megashow, better than Summerslam, but not by much.

#2 He was part of 'the Hotel Room' incident'

Not many fans will know of the Hotel Room incident, but it is covered in the Autobiography 'Adam Copeland on Edge' (great read btw).

According to Edge, this happened in the middle of the Attitude Era, where the Hardyz were going up against the Dudleyz and Edge and Christian.

The story goes that the Hardyz and E&C (with Chris Jericho) were sharing a hotel room in the middle of winter, and Edge and Jeff dared each other to dive out of their two story window to a big pile of snow below.

The two did t, followed by Matt, Christian, and Jericho, who were wearing only boxers.

Unfortunately, none of them had the room key, which led the superstars to have to ask at the hotel lobby.

#3 He is an artist

Outside of wrestling, every superstar has a hobby to keep themselves busy, and for Jeff Hardy, that is creating art.

What is most impressive is Hardy's ability to create art whilst maintaining his busy schedule on the road.

He is also heavily into music, having his own band, called Peroxwhy?gen, where Jeff taught himself to play the guitar.

The band released their first album, Plurality of Worlds in 2013, from TNAMusic, and their second album, Within The Cygnus Rift in 2015.

#2 He loves Dirt Bikes, and building Volcanos

If you ask a fan about Jeff Hardy's move-set, they'd tell you how the Carolina-native is never afraid to take risks, and is a true daredevil.

This seems to be the case for Hardy out of the ring, as Jeff is an avid Motorcross fan, and received his first dirt bike aged just 13.

In his teens, the future-champion would take his love to the next level, building a volcano (with real fire!) that Hardy would drive over.

Despite a serious injury recently, where Jeff broke his leg, he continues to have a love for Dirt Bikes.

#1 He was called Keith Davis

The name Jeff Hardy is synonymous with wrestling, and with championship success.

But before any of that, Jeff wrestled for one night, as Keith Davis.

Debuting in WWE in 1994, Jeff, like his brother was used as a jobber, making established talent look good.

On this night, Razor Ramon was supposed to face Keith Davis (the real one), who quit at the last second.

Rather than changing the name card, Jeff went out, as Keith Davis, despite being just 16 years old.
