Jeff Hardy would be open to a return to the WWE via their partnership with TNA.
A number of TNA stars have found their way to the WWE in the past year via NXT. Wrestlers like Joe Hendry, Jordynne Grace and Alexander Hammerstone have all wrestled in the WWE, with some NXT stars going the other way too.
Jeff Hardy recently appeared on Insight with Chris Van Vliet. The TNA star addressed the idea that the Hardy Boyz could appear as part of TNA’s partnership with WWE, confirming there is chance it could happen. He went on to talk about his wish for a heel run for the Hardys, and how his injury at the hands of Sammy Guevara put an end to that in AEW.
Jeff Hardy On Working With WWE & Turning Heel
“For sure. There’s never been a real heel Hardy run. I was so excited about that in AEW. But I know I own what I’ve done. It was my fault I really let Matt down with the whole AEW thing. I think even AEW, before I broke my nose wrestling Sammy Guevara my thinking was we’re not being used, what if I can be like a heel on social media and send out some tweets? It evidently wasn’t professional, but again, it’s not like I was being serious. I just said something like Collision was designed for Punks.”
“But I ended up getting three matches out of that with Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, and then Sammy. In all those matches I had that feeling, that passion. I could feel it again within myself. Oh my God. I love this I can still go, I got a lot more left in the tank, and I experienced that. But then naturally, injury happens, and my nose was broken, that was going to take a while to heal and things just worked out the way they worked out.”
“I’m so glad to be back in TNA and super excited. Because TNA has been there for me in dark times. When I left the pro wrestling world in 09 and got in my situation, TNA employed me, they supported me and oh my God, like I said earlier, 2012 is one of the best years of my career, I was sober. I was doing really good, and I just eventually eased into drinking alcohol again. It took a while, but it just slowly caught up to me. It got me.”
