July 8, 2002 On this date in 2002, Jeff Hardy defeated William Regal on Monday Night Raw to win the WWE European Championship. No one ever won it again. Two weeks later, Hardy lost a title unification ladder match to Intercontinental Champion Rob Van Dam, and the European Championship was retired, making Hardy the final European Champion in the title’s history. The championship had been around since 1997, when The British Bulldog won a tournament to become its first holder. #JeffHardy #WWE #WilliamRegal #WrestlingHistory #OnThisDay
