WWE SmackDown: Jeff Hardy gets arrested in a drunk driving angle; Returns to aide Daniel Bryan against Sheamus
During this week's WWE SmackDown, Jeff Hardy was arrested for drunk driving and ramming his car into Elias', who had to be hospitalised. However, Jeff returned towards the end of the night to aide Daniel Bryan in his match against Sheamus. Read below to know everything that transpired.
WWE SmackDown started on an extremely weird note as the wrestling company went ahead with their tradition of art imitating life. In what felt like news coverage, we see Elias being stretchered in an ambulance after a car was rammed into his. It turns out it was Jeff Hardy's car with the wrestler being shown as inebriated and arrested on the charges of a hit-and-run. Sound familiar? Given Jeff's DUI history, one wonders what the reasoning behind this angle was but that was not all for The Charismatic Enigma, who made his return later on in the night.
Moreover, the main event on SmackDown was set between Daniel Bryan and Sheamus with the winner set to battle AJ Styles, two weeks later, for the vacated Intercontinental Championship. Earlier, Sami Zayn was the champ but had to be stripped off the title after he decided not to wrestle during the coronavirus pandemic. Sheamus dominated most of the match with his brute force and just when you thought it was game over for Daniel, Jeff returned to save the day.
Hardy was all the distraction needed for The Planet's Champion to hit The Celtic Warrior with the running knee and advance to the finals in the Intercontinental Championship Tournament. Post the match, Jeff attacked Sheamus who ran away from the ring.
