It's 2018 and Jeff Hardy is still throwing caution to the wind by performing super-bumps that, whilst spectacular, must be taking a serious toll on his body. The catalogue of broken bones and bruises Jeff has suffered in the name of his art will decide his fate eventually.

Mark him in as a possible retirement for 2019.

Even if he doesn't see fit to leave active wrestling behind, it's true that Hardy is a free spirit who hasn't been tied down (full-time) to WWE's rigours for years now. He's been able to enjoy a lifestyle on his own clock, for the most part, and could be interested in doing that again now he's 41 years old. Further, Jeff will be seeing his brother's decision to take an extended absence, and he might fancy the same.

Jeff doesn't seem to be the kind of personality who will remain a backstage presence in WWE once he calls it a day in-ring. He has other things in his life, like his family, love of painting and music, and has always kept outside interests purring in the background.
