#3 Jeff Hardy vs. Andrade "Cien" Almas
The United States Champion hasn't been seen on SmackDown since losing to Daniel Bryan a few weeks ago.
In the meantime, Andrade "Cien" Almas has been making an impression in the lower mid-card. Even his backstage segments have been on point. He's set to crush Sin Cara next week, and from there work his way further up the card.
At the same time, it doesn't look like there are any feuds for Jeff Hardy right now. When he makes his return after Money in the Bank, who will step up to compete with him?
Perhaps Rusev, but everyone else on SmackDown looks slotted for something at the moment, and unfortunately, no one would take him as a serious contender. His momentum has completely stalled.
There's no one better positioned to be Hardy's challenger in Brooklyn right now than Almas. Almas is set for a slow, but meaningful, push to the top, and he'll take the gold in the Barclays Center.
