The feud between Elias and Jeff Hardy began back when the Intercontinental Championship Title was lying vacant. Sami Zayn, the IC Champion had taken a break from WWE, leaving the title vacant. A tournament had been organized, to get a new champion.

On one of the Smackdown episodes, Hardy and Elias were scheduled to fight each other, to progress further in the tournament. But right at the beginning of the episode, a car was shown slamming into Elias. Jeff Hardy, in a drunk state was shown as the attacker. Hardy was arrested on the spot, only to return by the end of the same episode. Hardy’s name was cleared from the accident.

Jeff Hardy, used to have alcohol addiction issues. He claims to have overcome it. WWE even made a storyline, where Hardy’s addiction issues were brought up. The feud was with Sheamus. It concluded with Hardy beating Sheamus in a bar fight.

Elias’ opinion on Hardy

Elias returned on Raw Season finale 2020.  His attack on Hardy is a clear indication that he still believes that Hardy was behind the accident. This is evident when he says that Hardy has made countless missteps. But WWE keeps on giving him a free pass. His actions do not have any consequences. Elias was discussing this in an interview with Sportskeeda.

“…So for whatever reason, the guy is never at fault. And I, it does not fly well with me, especially that my career almost came to an end.” When asked that how he wishes to end this, he demanded an apology from Hardy. He mentioned that if the Charismatic Enigma doesn’t apologize, he wouldn’t mind coming to blows.  “…we’ll come to blows. We’ll do what we have to do, and I’ll put him in his place.” 

Both, him and Jeff Hardy have been drafted to Raw from Smackdown. Upon his return, Elias attacked Hardy. It seems like they would be starting a feud, based on the car accident storyline. A match at Hell in a Cell is also likely.
