Tony Khan has promised a big surprise for Wednesday night's episode of AEW Dynamite, and with at least one debut planned, speculation is running rampant about Jeff Hardy becoming "All Elite."
WWE released Jeff after supposed erratic behaviour at a Live event that left them under the belief his past substance abuse issues had reared their ugly head. Well, his drug test was negative and it looks like he's ready for a fresh start; unfortunately, that's unlikely to come as soon as tomorrow.
"Jeff’s no-compete clause runs into March 9," his brother, Matt, confirms in the video below. "As of March 10, he will be free to do whatever and then he could negotiate with somebody or work for another big company that has television, whatever it may be. Do I think that Jeff Hardy could end up coming to AEW and teaming up with Matt Hardy again?"
"As they say in the wrestling business, never say never. Anything’s possible," he teases. "We’re definitely going to be working together and we’ll see if the planets align and we do get the opportunity to become the greatest team in all of space and time once more."
Matt and Jeff have booked a number of independent shows for next month, so an AEW debut does seem likely. WWE, concerned about the headlines the Hardy Boyz reuniting to take on the links of FTR and The Young Bucks would generate, offered Jeff the chance to return and a Hall of Fame induction, but he seemingly refused and is now set to become a free agent.
