Jeff Hardy has been out of action since tearing his right rotator cuff in September 2017, but after going under the knife in October and enduring a long, gruelling rehab period, the Raw Superstar has started training for his return.

This is according to Dave Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. He noted that while there's no word yet on when Jeff will be cleared, there's hope within the company that he could be back in time for WrestleMania 34, which takes place on April 8th.

At the time of injury, WWE stated that the expected Hardy to be out until May. It looks like he has recovered ahead of schedule, and if all goes well, he could soon join sibling's 'Woken' universe.

Matt has struggled since bringing his much-loved character to WWE television. His feud with Bray Wyatt is going round in circles, and the duo struggled to generate a crowd reaction at Elimination Chamber. Jeff's comeback as Brother Nero could be the tonic needed to bring the gimmick back to life, but his participation is by no means guaranteed, as there was speculation of one last big singles run prior to the injury.
