Jeff Hardy Although he has an Intercontinental Title defense against "The Game", Triple H, earlier in the night Jeff Hardy is still being considered as one of the favorites in this Royal Rumble match.  At first glance he doesn't appear to seem a likely candidate to be one of the favorites, however, Jeff's cunning and will to do whatever it takes to win may just be key elements in his Rumble performance.  At last year's Rumble Jeff made a so-so showing, however a lot has changed in a year.  This "new" Jeff, who models himself (modestly) after a young "Heart Break Kid" Shawn Michaels may just do what Shawn has managed to do twice in the past:  win the Royal Rumble.  And in doing so he will then earn the right go on to fight at Wrestlemania for the only title that is more precious than the one he currently holds, the WWF Championship.
