#3 Triple H vs. Jeff Hardy (2008)
The recurring theme throughout 2008 was that whenever Jeff Hardy was given a shot at the company's most prestigious prize, the WWE Championship, he would come close yet fall short. However, he remained resilient and refused to give up until he had gold in his grasp.
After nearly capturing the title at Unforgiven, Hardy earned himself another championship opportunity against Triple H at No Mercy. As popular as The Game was at that time, Hardy had the full support of the fans who wanted to see him oh so desperately fulfill his destiny of becoming a world champion.
He had an incredible outing against Triple H, and nearly had the match won on a few different occasions. But it was a quick roll-up from The King of Kings that allowed him to retain his title by the skin of his teeth.
