Per Fightful's Sean Ross Sapp, Hardy had been offered "help and rehab" by the promotion prior to being let go, though he declined. Andrew Zarian of the Mat Men Pro Wrestling podcast has since stated that "the last couple of weeks have been rough" for Jeff, whom WWE had sent home from the road last weekend.

Universally adored by seemingly everyone in wrestling, Hardy's release has unsurprisingly inspired a huge volume of tributes.
