Hardy, who has held several WWE titles over the years, is currently a part of their Red-brand show – Raw. The company recently came under severe criticism from the fans, when Jeff Hardy was seen chasing the WWE 24/7 Championship, along with the jobbers of the company.

Several fans took to social media to lash out at the company for using a former World Champion and a sure shot future legend as a jobber. While Hardy himself mentioned that he just shows up and does what the company asks him to do, the fans were not accepting such a treatment for the Charismatic Enigma.

The move bought a lot of criticism for WWE, and now they seem to be working towards righting their wrongs. Prior to the 24/7 jobber appearance, Hardy had been on a constant losing streak on Raw, and had no active storylines going on for him. But now WWE has seemingly decided to add him to the WWE United States Championship feud.

Last week on Raw, Hardy faced the current United States Champion Damian Priest in a non-title match. While Hardy failed to overcome the Champion, fans loved to see Hardy rising up the card once again and delivering some hard-hitting bouts. This week, WWE has even decided to give Hardy a chance to earn a shot at the United States Championship.
