There needs to be a month in WWE where Jeff Hardy wrestles Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship while Jeff's alter-ego Will O' The Whisp wrestles Finn Balor as "The Demon" for the NXT Championship. Balor's work as The Demon is very much influenced by Hardy's alter ego invented in OMEGA some 25 years prior. Any match that Jeff Hardy wrestled as "Willow" in TNA will certainly pale by comparison to working the modern version of that character in Finn Balor. WWE must certainly already know that this is a possibility. If Jeff Hardy's on the fence about making a WWE return, if for no other match than this one, it should be considered. NXT (moreso than the main roster) would know how to present that match in such a way that it'd be amazing to watch. Jeff appearing at WrestleMania while Willow wrestles at Takeover the night before? This is actually a no brainer.
