#5 Jeff Hardy wants a dream WWE match against Roman Reigns
Universal Champion Roman Reigns is currently at the top of the mountain on SmackDown. Meanwhile, Jeff Hardy - who was recently involved in 24/7 title shenanigans - doesn't seem to be in a major storyline at the moment.
Speaking on the Wrestling Inside the Ropes podcast, Hardy expressed that his main goal before retirement is to become a Universal Champion. He also praised Roman Reigns and The Usos' storyline on SmackDown.
“It's just so powerful man," said Hardy. "Every time I watch SmackDown, I love the Usos and the whole Head of the Table thing. The Tribal Chief is so strong you know. That’s definitely a dream match – the dream match I have for my career. I’ve never been in the ring head-to-head with Roman Reigns. So that’s on my bucket list for sure and it can be a very beautiful encounter.”
The Tribal Chief's special counsel, Paul Heyman, has responded to Jeffy Hardy's statement via Twitter.
Although Heyman praised Hardy's accomplishments, he also noted that Reigns would "smash" the legend into a well-earned retirement. Check out the tweet below:
