After years in the tag team division, Hardy took on The Undertaker in a ladder match for the WWE Undisputed Championship.
Hardy came up short in the intense match, but earned The Undertaker's respect when he displayed courage by attempting to rise to his feet after the bout and challenge The Undertaker to continue.
Hardy competed for singles titles on several occasions and defeated William Regal for the European Championship.
Hardy was defeated a few weeks later by Rob Van Dam in a ladder match to unify the European Championship and the Intercontinental Championship, and the European Championship was retired.
Finally, the Hardy Boyz split apart, as Hardy continued to pursue his singles ambitions on Raw and his brother, Matt left Raw for his own singles pursuits signing with Stephanie McMahon's SmackDown!
brand.
On Raw, Hardy would compete in WWE's Hardcore division until the title's unification with the Intercontinental Championship.

In late 2002, Hardy had been teaming with Rob Van Dam and Bubba Ray Dudley.
He along with Bubba Ray and Spike Dudley defeated 3-Minute Warning at Survivor Series in a six-man tag team elimination tables match.

In January 2003, Hardy briefly turned into a heel (villain) after he attacked Van Dam and Shawn Michaels.
It ended a month later when he saved Stacy Keibler from an attack by then-villain, Christian.
In February, he had a brief program with Michaels, which saw the two team up.
Then, in storyline, Hardy began dating Trish Stratus after saving her from Steven Richards and Victoria in March.
Hardy and Stratus had a brief on-screen relationship that saw the duo talking backstage and teaming together in matches.
Hardy competed in his final match (his first departure) against The Rock and lost.
Hardy was released from WWE on April 22, 2003.
The reasons given for the release were Hardy's erratic behavior, drug use, refusal to go to rehab, deteriorating ring performance, as well as constant tardiness and no-showing events.
Hardy also cites "burn out" and the need for time off as reasons for leaving WWE.
