Matt Hardy
In 2002, Matt Hardy and a newly-promoted John Cena began wrestling on house shows. A few months later, both began teaming up on SmackDown briefly. Both Matt and Jeff Hardy teamed with Cena in the ensuing years. Jeff Hardy wrestled Cena for a #1 contendership in 2008 but it might shock people to know, Matt Hardy and Cena never had a televised singles match despite sharing the same company for parts of two decades. It seemed like when Cena was on Raw, Hardy was in ECW, and when Cena was on SmackDown, Hardy was on Raw. They just never crossed paths, which seems almost unfathomable.
Hardy doesn’t have beef or bad blood with Cena. In fact, it’s just the opposite as Hardy has mentioned in various interviews enjoying working with Cena and the two having rap battles on European tours. Hardy and Cena are of the same generation and both represent a great era in WWE history. It almost feels criminal that Cena’s career (and in turn Matt’s one day) could end without these two locking up once.
