Matt Hardy Reveals How Jeff Hardy’s AEW Return Came Together

One of the most fun things about watching a wrestling show is that anything can happen at any time and this week Jeff Hardy made his return on AEW Dynamite. Jeff had been suspended since last summer and he also recently underwent eye surgery, but he returned to a big pop from the crowd when he saved Matt Hardy, Isiah Kassidy and Hook from a beat down at the hands of the firm.

Matt Hardy recently talked about Jeff Hardy’s return during an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, and he noted that it all came together over the last few days.

“This literally came together the last few days. We’ve been talking about this for a while. Jeff’s eye will take a while — I kept making jokes, ‘How did you fly here today, did you take a red eye? Ahahaha.’ — He still has blood in his eye. They said that would probably take six to eight weeks. I put it out there, ‘In six to eight weeks, he should be good.’ His vision is fine, his eyes are stable, they’re working in sync now.

He got cleared at the end of last week to do stuff physically. We had an idea of bringing him in and interjecting him into this scenario. The segment cut a little short, but here’s a great spoiler, watch Rampage on Friday and you’ll find out where this match is going to be and who the official competitors are. Jeff will be involved, HOOK will be involved, Isiah (Kassidy) will be involved. You’ll find out who from The Firm we’ll face on Rampage.”
