At his debut match at Backlash 2002, Brock Lesnar destroyed Jeff Hardy and made a quick work of the Charismatic Enigma.

Jeff Hardy revealed the idea which was rejected for the Backlash 2002 match

Jeff Hardy revealed that before facing Brock Lesnar at Backlash 2002, he had an ‘insane’ idea. He said during the match, he wanted to turn towards Paul Heyman to hit him with a Swanton Bomb, but Brock Lesnar would interrupt his move by spearing him in mid-air. Jeff Hardy said that the idea was rejected because it was too risky and impossible to do. “Then later, oh God, me and Kurt Angle tried that, and it didn’t work out at all. It was tough to pull off.”
