One of the more dramatic sequences in modern WWE involved Jeff Hardy on SmackDown in a DUI incident that would lead to a Sheamus vs. Jeff Hardy match at Backlash. But there seems to be something about the whole thing leading into Backlash, especially if you consider that the obvious culprit was Sheamus and in the build to Backlash, Jeff Hardy made it clear that it was someone with red hair and a red beard who staged the whole thing.
So what if Jeff Hardy and Sheamus are fighting when the lights go out and the SmackDown hacker appears once more at Backlash? Only this time, he reveals that Jeff Hardy staged the whole thing and allows for the man to go heel in what is certain to be one of the final runs of his career, mainly because there are so many feuds that can potentially open up for him if he goes over to the dark side at Backlash...Matt Riddle immediately comes to mind.
