Elimination Chamber: Ranking WWE Title Participants by Odds of Winning

6. Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy walks into the match as its biggest weak link. Not because of Hardy’s ability as an athlete, but because he heads into Elimination Chamber carrying the least momentum. That could change in the coming weeks leading up to the pay-per-view, but as he stands now, he hasn’t been looking too hot.

He started off hot in early 2018 after winning the United States Championship shortly after returning from injury. He’d cool down in the subsequent months after losing his title to Shinsuke Nakamura in just six seconds, then failed to win it back at SummerSlam. Afterwards, he came out of a feud with Randy Orton as the loser in a Hell in a Cell match before being briefly put on the shelf once again for a month.

Since coming back from injury, Hardy’s won some matches here and there but hasn’t accomplished enough to put him back on a hot streak. Most notably, he’s been on the losing end of a feud with Samoa Joe, who defeated Hardy on the New Years Day episode of SmackDown in between throwing verbal jabs at Hardy’s personal past issues.

Jeff Hardy comes into the match as its oldest participant – although he’s only a few months older than AJ Styles – so it’s safe to say that his days of being a top headliner for WWE are numbered. It would be nice to see The Rainbow Haired Warrior have one last hurrah, but it’s unlikely.

On the surface, it just looks likes The Charismatic Enigma was added to the match to jump off of a pod. Which will be fun to see, but won’t win him a second WWE Championship.
