The year 2008 saw the evolution of Jeff Hardy from an entertaining midcard star to one of the elite babyfaces in all of sports entertainment. There were a few bumps in the road, but he came back better than ever and immediately set out to regain the faith and trust of both fans and management alike.
To do so, he worked like never before and turned in some of his finest performances to date. As one of the faces of the SmackDown brand, he was heavily relied upon to carry that brand following its move from the CW to MyNetwork TV.
In the process, he became even more popular than he previously was, selling as much merchandise, if not more, than the company's top star, John Cena. He was receiving the loudest pops of his career and was clearly the people's champion, for lack of a better word.
But things did not come easy for Hardy.
To achieve his lifelong dream of capturing the WWE Championship, he would have to overcome a number of professional heartbreaks and two of the most iconic Superstars of all time in a Triple Threat match at December 2008's Armageddon pay-per-view.
