Jeff Hardy’s wish has been granted by Vince McMahon. A Hell in a Cell match between Hardy and Randy Orton has been announced for the upcoming WWE Hell in a Cell PPV. Hardy has stated in previous interviews that he has always wanted to compete in this match.
This has been a match in the making for a few weeks. If you recall, Shinsuke Nakamura beat Hardy to win the United States Title at the WWE Extreme Rules pay-per-view event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania at the PPG Paints Arena on the WWE Network. Following the match, Orton made his return after being on the sidelines due to a recent surgery to have an intense staredown with Nakamura and then laying out Hardy. Moving along, on an episode of SmackDown Live on the USA Network, the company booked a rematch between Hardy and Nakamura that saw the finish once again have Orton cost Hardy the match. Then, Orton attacked Hardy once again in devastating fashion. Now, Hardy gets his revenge on Orton.
