Matt and Jeff Hardy have been the talk of the professional wrestling world recently. There have been reports that WWE has contracts on the table for the Hardys, but in a recent interview with CBS Sports, Jeff Hardy had some things to say on the matter.

When Jeff was asked if they had WWE contracts on the table, he denied those claims.

“No, because you have to go through so much testing and all of that. It’s a long process. But, no. We know some people there and naturally, after WrestleMania dies down, maybe a couple of months from now, we’ll see what’s possible. But there is no truth to that whatsoever.”

When Jeff was asked if they had any plans for Sunday, he stated the Hardys didn’t plan on doing anything WWE related.

“We are doing the Broken Tailgate Party. It’s going to be right near WrestleMania. It’s going to be super weird. For several years I didn’t want to do WrestleCon because I didn’t want to be anywhere near WrestleMania. Because if I was to be near WrestleMania, I would want to be in it. It’s going to be strange, but we’re doing a six-hour signing the day of Mania. And knowing they’re going to have a ladder match makes me think: why aren’t we in that? Because we should be. Oh well, maybe next year.”

He was later asked if fans could expect to see them on Raw or SmackDown Live soon. But, Jeff’s response seemed to conflict all of the recent rumors we’ve been hearing. He stuck to his story pretty firmly that The Hardys will not be appearing on WWE anytime soon.

“I want to take about three weeks off after Saturday. So, thank God we’re not wrestling Sunday because my body’s going to be all jacked up for sure. We’re also wrestling Friday night at the WrestleCon show. Those guys are amazing. We just wrestled Penta El Cero Miedo & Rey Fenix last weekend. It was so good.”

When Jeff was asked about the Hardys’ current deal with Ring Of Honor he stated their contract was short term, but it was for much longer than we thought.

“It’s short-term. It’s through the summer. What’s cool about Ring of Honor is that we can still go out and work the indie dates. That’s another thing about the TNA deal was that they wanted to take our indy dates from us, and I really enjoy working the independent circuit. You meet some crazy, cool, interesting people and the shows have been so great as of late. I would say our Ring of Honor deals are through the summer. It’s a short-term deal and we’ll see how things go. We’ll test the waters for a while and hopefully help the company grow.”

Jeff also spoke about his musical endeavors, how he almost played some Warped Tour dates this summer and his thoughts on the Rock ‘n’ Roll Express’ getting inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, and the circumstances surrounding their exit from Impact Wrestling.

Of course, he may be swerving fans, so we’ll just have to wait and see if the Hardys appear at Camping World Stadium on April 2nd.
