"This is not goodbye forever, this is only goodbye for now." Jeff Hardy outright said during his final appearance for WWE in August 2009 that he was merely taking a break and would be back in a matter of months, possibly in time for WrestleMania 26. But a few months turned into a few years and he has yet to return. He has had a fun run for himself in TNA, but make no mistake about it: he will be WWE bound before long. Yes, I am well aware that he signed a new two year deal with TNA earlier this month, but Hardy will be popular with the fans regardless of when he makes his return. It could in time for WrestleMania 34 or a decade from now. He has kept his body in relatively good shape with minimal injuries, so unlike Kurt Angle, the chances of him having one last run as an active member of the roster are fairly likely. Matt Hardy could come along with The Charismatic Enigma, but he would be a bigger asset to the company with Jeff than on his own. As for Jeff, it wouldn't matter whether Matt was with him or not. As a tag team or singles competitor, he will do big numbers for WWE, especially in terms of the merchandise he could sell. It has been evident since the moment he left that he would be back one day. Other than Angle, he is the last huge name that can come back and make a major difference. Let's just hope isn't too long before we see him in a WWE ring again.
