Update On Matt & Jeff Hardy Returning To WWE
The duo's official webstore has closed, and their last ROH date is this Saturday...
Matt and Jeff Hardy have been heavily linked with a WWE return since departing Impact Wrestling last month. The duo have since become Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions and will compete at the company's Supercard of Honor PPV on April 1st, after which they have no further ROH bookings, and should be free to rejoin WWE.
The Hardy's official online store shut down a few days ago, and they signed-off with the following Tweet:-
WWE typically exercise strict control over their wrestlers' merchandising, and the store's closure has only fuelled the speculation. When asked if this had anything to do with the Hardys returning to WWE, the Wrestling Observer's Dave Meltzer Tweeted the following:-
Matt and Jeff's WWE return has never looked likelier, and there are even rumours that they'll show-up at WrestleMania 33 this Sunday. It remains to be seen whether or not they'll be allowed to use the highly successful "Broken" gimmick, however, as they and Impact are currently at legal odds over the rights to the characters.
A return would be Jeff's first WWE appearance since 2009, and Matt's first since 2010, and whether they're Broken or not, the Hardys' comeback should be very well received.
