5 wrestlers who are in the shadow of a more successful relative

#3 Matt Hardy - Jeff Hardy

Matt and Jeff Hardy have both had lengthy wrestling careers

Matt and Jeff Hardy became famous in the late 1990s as the fearless tag team, alongside Lita, known as Team Extreme. They later split up and went their separate ways, with Matt being mostly involved in the Cruiserweight Division and his brother Jeff becoming WWE Champion.

In WWE, Jeff Hardy was always much more popular than his brother thanks to his death-defying stunts which grabbed the attention of the WWE Universe, whilst Matt was always seen as the boring brother. But this changed when the duo moved to TNA.

Broken Matt Hardy took over the company and after a lengthy feud with Jeff, later known as Brother Nero, it was finally Matt who came out on top after all the years of living in his brother's shadow.

Now the brothers have made their return to WWE and are hoping to be able to one day bring the "broken" gimmick with them so that they can show the WWE Universe the characters that once took over the TNA locker room. Right now, it seems for the first time since their debut, Matt and Jeff are seen on par when it comes to the way they are viewed by their fanbase.
