Jeff Hardy was last seen in WWE at a house show on December 4th, teaming up with Drew McIntyre and “King” Xaiver Woods to take on Roman Reigns and The Usos, better known as “The Bloodline.”
In the middle of the match, Jeff started acting strangely and left the ring and the building. WWE sent him home and asked him to go to rehab. The promotion feared that Hardy had fallen back into a drug habit that he has had a notorious history for.
When Jeff refused, WWE released him in a cloud of mystery. However, from Hardy’s side of things, there were never any worries, especially from his brother.
Speaking with Jon Alba on the “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, Matt elaborated on the situation, giving an update on Jeff and his own thoughts on the entire situation.
Matt Hardy thought that WWE jumping the gun would make them look bad, so they decided to withhold Jeff’s results to prevent them from becoming public knowledge.
Jeff Hardy has been super positive since his release
The biggest takeaway from the whole situation is that thankfully, Jeff Hardy is healthy, clean and happy. Matt even stated that his younger brother has had no stress in his life since leaving WWE.
With Matt Hardy being in AEW, rumors are obviously swirling that Jeff will also make the jump to All Elite Wrestling in the near future.
Jeff Hardy’s 90 day non-compete clause expires in the middle of March, with the Hardy Boyz ready to get back in the ring having already accepted independent bookings.
