Despite heavy speculation that he is retired, Matt Hardy has recently been hinting at a potential in-ring return. He has previously stated that, despite not having a timetable, a comeback should be “sooner than later.”
Now his brother, Jeff Hardy, has chimed in on the likelihood of his brother returning to competition.
Speaking with WrestlingNews.co, Jeff admitted, “I don’t think he’s really retired.”
When pressed a little further on the subject, he responded: “No, I don’t think that [he’s retired].”
The conversation then turned towards Jeff, where he revealed the worst injury he’s ever suffered. Hardy confessed that the worst injury, by far, was when he had to undergo rotator cuff surgery. He still undergoes physical therapy to ensure he doesn’t cause further injury.
A Surprise Return
Matt and Jeff Hardy returned almost two years ago, making a surprise comeback during WrestleMania 33. They would be inserted into a Fatal-4-Way tag team matchup, eventually coming out the new Raw Tag Team champions.
With that in mind, WWE’s current contracts with the Hardy Boyz is set to expire in a few months around WrestleMania.
With both brothers seemingly wanting to continue their careers, coupled with the advent of new promotions like All Elite Wrestling, could there be a bidding war for Matt and Jeff on the horizon? The two have also wrestled for Ring Of Honor, and with ROH now making big money deals, could they be another promotion interested when their contracts expire?
