Over the last few years fans have seen WWE release a number of Superstars and back in December former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy was officially released. Everyone has been waiting to see where Jeff could end up next, and he’s now free to go where he wants as his non-compete clause with WWE has officially expired.
A few weeks ago Jeff Hardy said during an interview that he was heading to AEW, but later backtracked and clarified that nothing was official. It’s not known at this point if he will appear on TV, but it was recently reported that Jeff Hardy is expected to be backstage for the AEW Dynamite tapings tonight.
It’s also worth noting that Matt Hardy appears to be teasing a face turn ahead of tonight’s show as he posted the following on Twitter:
“I became wrapped up in making as much money as I could in @AEW, much like those who came before me. I took advantage of young men who looked up to me & I failed them. On #AEWDynamite, I promise to make a change & be better. It’s time for me to get back to being Matt Hardy.”
