When will we see the 'Charismatic Enigma' again?

WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy can currently be found on the company's treatment table, having suffered a serious leg injury while wrestling on a house show back in April. Coming just days after he and brother Matt had reunited to capture the SmackDown Tag Team Champions, the duo were forced to vacate, with the elder Hardy now lost in the ether.

Prior to yesterday there had been no significant updates on Jeff's recovery and/or condition, but Fightful have come through with a big update on his return: WWE's internal inactive list has Hardy pencilled in for a 2 November comeback.

This can obviously change, but it's encouraging nonetheless. Jeff remains a popular, pushable commodity, and WWE's thin tag wrestling scene could really use the Hardy Boyz (while Matt would probably just use something to do). Alternatively, Jeff still has plenty of stock as an upper-midcard babyface.

Recent weeks haven't been kind to Hardy, who was arrested for being "drunk in public" over Extreme Rules weekend, with follow-up reports stating he'd been found passed out in a stairwell. Fingers crossed he's able to overcome these troubles along with his injury woes.
