#3. Jeff Hardy recorded a video to take shots at CM Punk after their WWE feud

In 2009, Jeff Hardy entered an iconic rivalry with CM Punk. The two men worked on their rivalry well after CM Punk cashed in his Money in the Bank briefcase and defeated Hardy to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Both men cut promos to build their rivalry and took some personal shots at each other. Punk called out Jeff Hardy for his lifestyle choices and at times went off-script to get his point across.

The Charismatic Enigma left WWE to join TNA (IMPACT Wrestling) soon after the rivalry ended on-screen. However, his rivalry with Punk wasn’t over even after his move.

In 2010, Jeff Hardy posted a video with his brother Matt on YouTube. Both brothers could be seen taking some shots at The Best in the World. Jeff, who seemed intoxicated in the video and called Punk "a nerd," said he was responsible for making CM Punk a major star, and questioned his dedication to straight edge.

The video caused fans to take to social media to discuss whether Jeff Hardy was actually taking shots at Punk or just continuing with the storyline. Because Jeff had already left WWE, it can be said that The Charismatic Enigma was indeed trying to rip into CM Punk.
