Jeff Hardy Released by WWE

[Reality Check]

WWE reportedly offered a 2022 Hall of Fame induction to Jeff Hardy but he turned it down.

As we’ve noted, WWE released Hardy in early December after he reportedly turned down an offer of rehab from the company. This came after an incident at the December 4 WWE live event in Edinburg, Texas, where Hardy became sluggish as the six-man main event went on, then tagged out, and disappeared through the crowd with security following him. He was pulled from the road after that incident, and then released. Matt Hardy later stated that he didn’t feel like Jeff needed rehab at that point, and that he was in a good place in his life.

In an update, the Wrestling Observer reports that WWE Talent Relations head John Laurinaitis called Hardy a few weeks back to talk about possibly bringing him back, and offered to put him into the 2022 Hall of Fame Class.

Hardy reportedly turned the offer down and asked for his drug test results from when he was released in December, because he knew he wasn’t going to test positive for any recreational drugs. It took Hardy and his wife Beth six weeks to get the results back.

There is a feeling that Hardy is one guy WWE does not want in AEW because they’ve realized The Hardy Boyz tag team will be revitalized with so many teams in AEW to work with. Jeff and Matt have already started accepting indie and signing dates together.

Hardy is under contract to WWE through Wednesday, March 9 when his non-compete clause expires, so AEW can’t make a legal offer to him until then, but the belief is that unless he does go back to WWE, and it doesn’t look like he will, then he will end up in AEW.

Stay tuned for more.

Pretty shady as fukk that they wouldn't share those results with him.

First off, at the bolded. I very seriously doubt they care at all about the Hardyz reuniting outside the WWE since they barely did anything with them when they actually had them, that part sounds like embellishment mixed with speculation. Both guys are physically on their last legs as performers and the AEW roster and tag division is bloated as is.
This sounds like I had thought before, about them assuming Jeff was using again and like they were trying to basically force him into retirement either way. Very strange situation all around that I’d love to hear the truth about one day

They held Matt Hardy hostage in 2010 for the same reason. Only released him after he went crazy.

 

[Kingshango]

Jeff vs Darby, lets go.

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

So whose going to get fired to take the fall for this one

It sounds like they didn’t even wait for the drug test to come back before making their decision and dragged their feet in releasing it to try and save face on their part and portray the narrative that he did.

 

[White City Black]

Wow, they must've really pissed Jeff off if he turned down a HOF induction

It seems like a lot of these older WWE veterans, even if they still want to be there, don’t care for any of the fukkery that comes along with how the company does business now, versus how it was back when. Too corporate, too tightly run, you’re just another…spoke on the wheel

 

[Him]

Fire Breh and then try and hire him back with a HOF induction.

Jeff Hardy has the most loyal (and paying) fanbase in wrestling. If any other popular wrestler had the kind of shyt on his name Jeff does, they would lose all of their fans. It’s easy to see his value
