Jeff Hardy Confirms He Is Signing For AEW
Jeff Hardy just let the All Elite Wrestling cat out the bag.
Jeff Hardy claims he is on his way to All Elite Wrestling.
The man himself said as much in a new interview with Jared Myers. You can check out the footage below, but during it, Hardy claimed that he was excited to be heading to the world's second-biggest promotion.
POST Wrestling contacted Myers following the interview. He confirmed that Hardy had told him he was on his way to the Tony Khan-helmed promotion after his 90-day WWE non-compete clause expires. Jeff, who was let go by the market leaders on 9 December 2021, will be free to sign and appear for other companies from 9 March.
Jeff's brother, Matt, has been an AEW roster member since 2020, opening up the possibility of a full-on Hardy Boyz reunion under the company's umbrella.
The 44-year-old left WWE under controversial circumstances since December 2021, when he was judged to have been "impaired" while performing at a house show, then reportedly turned down the opportunity to attend rehab. Jeff and Matt have both spoken out against WWE's side of the story since then. WWE, meanwhile, recently made a play to bring Jeff back, seemingly fearing the impact he may have in AEW.
