Jeff Hardy versus Edge on WWE Royal Rumble PPV

Jeff Hardy versus Edge on WWE Royal Rumble PPV

WWE Champion Jeff Hardy has been riding a wave of success since claiming the gold at Armageddon, and at Royal Rumble, Hardy faces a dangerous foe in former champion Edge – who is focused on taking back what he believes belongs to him.

The history between these two Superstars is well documented, and with the title on the line, Hardy can be sure that the Rated-R Superstar will do anything he can to reclaim the biggest prize in WWE. With General Manager Vickie Guerrero naming her husband Edge the No. 1 contender, the deck is stacked against Jeff Hardy, but that is when the current WWE Champion has been at his best.

As Edge tries to reclaim the gold, and, with the mystery surrounding the attack on Jeff Hardy the night before Survivor Series, many fingers have been pointing toward Edge, making this match extremely personal.

Can Edge find a way to win back the WWE Championship as the Road to WrestleMania begins at Royal Rumble? Or can Jeff Hardy continue his dream ride as WWE Champion and take the gold all the way to the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania?

Jeff Hardy on the cover of WWE Mag Feb Issue with No Way Out 2009 spoiler

article from: wrestleview.com

StudX1981 sent this in:

I got the February 2009 WWE Magazine today in the mail. Jeff Hardy is on the cover. It says: "NATURAL DISASTER - ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH AT NO WAY OUT FOR THE WWE CHAMPIONSHIP. JEFF HARDY, EDGE, BIG SHOW, KOZLOV, HHH, AND THE UNDERTAKER." It's on Page 53.

Jeff Hardy and Girlfriend Beth Hit and Run Accident

Jeff Hardy and Girlfriend Beth Hit and Run Accident

It appears that the person who attacked Jeff Hardy at his hotel the night before the Survivor Series is at it again.

Last night’s episode of Smackdown opened with a somber Jim Ross and Tazz informing viewers that Hardy and his girlfriend Beth had been involved in a hit-and-run accident yesterday morning in Cameron, N.C. “Police footage” aired later in the show, as did a brief statement from Hardy, who said that he and Beth were sore but not seriously injured.

Just as it did with Hardy’s hotel incident in November, WWE attempted to blur the line between story line and real life. It was pretty obvious, though, that the “accident” was a work, especially because details about the angle had been on wrestling sites all week.

The burning question is: Who was driving the car that hit Hardy’s vehicle? And is it the same person who jumped Hardy from behind two months ago?

Most wrestling pundits believe it’s Christian Cage, whose TNA deal has expired and is thought to be returning to WWE.

Jeff Hardy's Career Highlight at Greensboro NC House Show

- Jeff Hardy’s reaction and match with Edge at a recent SmackDown brand house show at the Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, North Carolina last weekend was a career highlight for him. It was the arena he went to as a child as it was the local Mecca for pro wrestling at the time. Below are some short clips of videos taken by the fans at North Carolina:

*Spoiler* Possible Major Storyline for Jeff Hardy in Smackdown

The Wrestling Observer is reporting that some type of storyline will be added in post-production to this Friday night's edition of Smackdown that will most likely further Christian's WWE debut. It's being said that an angle involving an accident with Jeff Hardy and his girlfriend will air, and most likely Christian will be revealed as the man responsible for causing the accident. According to the storyline, Hardy will recover while his girlfriend will sustain serious injuries. No word on whether his girlfriend will actually appear on the broadcast, but at this point something along these lines will be introduced this Friday night.

Jim Ross talks about Hardy's Face Paint

WWE ringside commentator and Hall of Famer Jim Ross wrote a new post on his blog and it included some comments regarding Jeff Hardy's different face paints:

Jeff Hardy’s face paint has given the WWE Champion a distinctive look. The paint may be reminiscent to some fans of the Warrior, Sting, Road Warriors, the Great Muta etc but it feels new again to me. I expect fans to start paint their faces and one would think that the WWE might even come out with a Hardy mask ala the Rey Mysterio masks that are now available. Jeff is really “hot” right now.
