Matt Hardy Teases Team Xtreme Reunion – A cryptic tweet sent out by Matt Hardy during WWE SmackDown is adding fuel to the rumors that Jeff Hardy may be on his way to AEW.
Matt tweeted, “I feel xtremely good about the future.”
That is clearly a reference to the days when Matt and Jeff were known as Team Xtreme. Matt and Jeff have both said in interviews that they would like to team up again for one last run before their in-ring careers are done.
If All Elite Wrestling wants to sign Jeff then they would legally be able to do so after his 90-day non-compete expires following his release from WWE this week.
There has been no public statement from WWE or Jeff on the matter as of this writing and there was no reference to Jeff on SmackDown where he was originally scheduled to wrestle Happy Corbin.
Speaking of Jeff Hardy, Sean Ross Sapp revealed further details regarding Hardy’s “erratic” behaviour shortly before his release.
“Saturday night, Jeff Hardy was in a six-man tag team match and his behaviour was erratic. We have not reported if he was on some sort of substance, under the influence of a substance or intoxicated. We don’t know. The match was changed and adjusted on the fly because Jeff was not gonna be able to do his moves – it was very clear. By the time they knew something was off off, Jeff had tagged out, rolled out of the ring and went into the audience [mid-match].
“He was sent home the following day and WWE has released him. They offered him rehab and help, he did reject it. We’re told that he missed some signings and appearances, things like that, in the past and other wrestlers would step up and fill in for him.”
