Daniel Bryan vs. Jeff Hardy: 5 ways their SmackDown match could end

#4 Sheamus shockingly helps Jeff Hardy defeat Daniel Bryan

Will Sheamus pull off a shocker during Jeff Hardy vs. Daniel Bryan?

This scenario is the least likely one on this list, but anything can happen in WWE, and even Sheamus could help Jeff Hardy win the Intercontinental Championship. Although the Irishman hates The Charismatic Enigma, he could help him stay alive in the tournament by defeating Bryan and win the title to defeat him later for the crown.

The feud between Hardy and Sheamus is far from over. However, until now, this rivalry has not set SmackDown on fire. WWE needs to pull off a shocker to get fans invested in this storyline. Sheamus could come out during the semifinal match of the Intercontinental Championship tournament and distract the referee when Daniel Bryan would be about to win.

Later, Bryan would lose his cool, and Hardy would roll him up for the win. Sheamus would later go inside the ring, and much to everyone's surprise, he would raise Jeff Hardy's hand. This way, the Creative team could protect Daniel Bryan in defeat besides stunning the WWE Universe with this finish.

While Sheamus would reveal his evil intentions for assisting Hardy later, he could portray himself as his friend until the tournament culminates.
