Reginald a.k.a. Reggie is the 24/7 Champion. Rather than being unstoppable, he’s been uncatchable. WWE has come to a point where superstars are chasing Reginald from the locker room to the arena, and where not. One superstar who chased him on WWE Raw: September 6th, 2021 was Jeff Hardy.

Now, Hardy chasing after Reginald did not sit well with the fans. The WWE Universe does not think Jeff Hardy is the type of superstar WWE should have run around in a comedy segment.

The fans took to social media to express their frustration over the segment. More than shocked, fans are disappointed that WWE would book Hardy in a segment like this.

Maybe WWE believed the fans would see the funny side of the segment, but it definitely did not work out that way.

Even Shelton Benjamin chased Reginald from backstage to the ring. Fans have expressed their concern about Benjamin as well, claiming that neither Hardy nor Benjamin deserve to be booked in comical segments that are a disgrace to their pro-wrestling careers.

Is this the end for Jeff Hardy?

Usually when WWE inserts superstars who have high-end potential in such segments, it shows that time is up.

Prior to this segment, Hardy was in a brief storyline with Karrion Kross. In fact, Hardy was the one against whom Karrion Kross made his main roster debut. Even though Hardy defeated Kross, the debut against Hardy helped put Kross on the map.

Unfortunately, Hardy tested positive for COVID-19 and was out for three weeks. When he returned, Kross got the best of him and defeated Hardy. Now, even though the bout ended, this feud was an important one for Karrion Kross and Hardy.
