#5 Jeff Hardy, WWE Main Eventer

The Enigmatic Enigma has had a troubled, yet highly-successful WWE career. His list of accomplishments are amazing. Jeff Hardy has held nearly every title in the company, from tag team titles to the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

Back in the late noughties, Hardy was a top-level guy. He was mixing it up with the likes of CM Punk, Triple H and Edge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

During this time, Hardy was in the main event of a pay-per-view three times and was victorious in two of them. However, because of his personal problems and long absence from WWE, these main events are not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about Hardy’s career.
