Jeff Hardy broke the news in a video with YouTuber Jared Myers this week that he’s heading to AEW. The former WWE Champion was released by the WWE back in December following his unusual departure mid-match during a house show in Texas. It was later revealed by Matt Hardy that WWE wanted Jeff to attend rehab again, but he declined feeling it was unnecessary. Matt then explained in various Twitch streams that WWE “jumped the gun” in releasing Hardy, that his final drug test with the company came back clean and that the promotion attempted to get him back into the fold via a WWE Hall of Fame induction but he turned them down. Both he and Matt Hardy have startd promoting the Hardy Boyz reunion in various independent promotions beginning in March.
