5 WWE stars who made their debuts as teenagers

#3. Jeff Hardy was young when he signed with WWE

Jeff Hardy currently performs on WWE's SmackDown brand, after returning to the company back at WrestleMania 33. Hardy and his brother Matt became the stars of the Tag Team Division back in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but even though Hardy has been with the company for a number of years, many fans are not aware that he was just a teenager when he made his debut.

Hardy made his WWE debut as a jobber in a match against Razor Ramon in Youngstown, Ohio back in May 1994. Hardy was just 16 years old at the time. Hardy's name that night was Keith Davis and he was used when the scheduled star dropped out. The former World Champion was only given the spot because he lied and claimed he was 18, which he wasn't.

Hardy later wrestled under his real name in a match against the 1-2-3 Kid which aired on Superstars. The younger of the Hardy brothers then went on to work as a jobber for WWE throughout 1997 before signing his official contract alongside his brother in 1998.
