It does not look like fans will see Jeff Hardy back on AEW TV in the near future.
PWInsider reports that Hardy is still officially with the company but he is not going to be brought back until his legal issues are cleared up. Hardy has a pre-trial hearing for his DUI scheduled this Wednesday 10/19. Hardy’s attorneys previously waived his right to a speedy trial. The pre-trial hearing was initially set for July but it was pushed back at the request of his attorneys and is now scheduled for this month.
In addition to wanting his legal issues to be cleared up, AEW also wants Hardy to show that he can maintain his sobriety. He has been in treatment “for some time” after his arrest earlier this year.
Jeff’s brother Matt Hardy recently stated that fans will see a new Jeff Hardy when he eventually returns. We send our best wishes to Hardy and hopefully, this recent DUI is the impetus to get his life back on track.
