While he did have a brief heel run in TNA in 2010, Jeff Hardy has always been a face during his WWE singles career.

It is easy to understand why. Hardy is not the biggest competitor in the world and possesses an arsenal of high-flying moves which never fail to please the crowd.

However, at present, WWE is not staging shows in front of a live audience. This means the WWE ThunderDome is an ideal location for Jeff Hardy to turn heel in pursuit of championship glory.

For example, if Drew McIntyre regains the WWE Championship at WrestleMania Backlash, Hardy could launch into a jealous rage and attack the Scottish Warrior.

McIntyre pinned Jeff Hardy inside the Elimination Chamber in February, denying the North Carolina native the chance to lift the WWE Championship again in the process.

Hardy's turn could be fuelled by resentment over that result. Jeff could also bring up his recent relegation to Main Event as a reason for him feeling disrespected by the entire company.

It is not completely necessary for McIntyre to win the championship for the rivalry to work, but it would immediately establish Hardy as a title contender.

As mentioned, Jeff Hardy is far from a natural heel. With that said, a turn would put a fresh twist on his character and offer feuds which would not otherwise be likely.
