In a move as unexpected as a politician admitting to a lie, Jeff Hardy sprang into TNA Wrestling at Against All Odds, like a superhero swooping in to save the day, taking on Moose and his villainous minions. Fans worldwide were left scratching their heads and wondering if this meant the charismatic daredevil had inked a new deal. But hold your horses, wrestling aficionados, because according to “Fightful Select,” both Jeff and Matt Hardy are currently free agents. Yep, free agents, just like your cousin who “freelances” between jobs.
Jeff’s departure from AEW was the worst-kept secret since the ending of “The Sixth Sense” hit the internet. His AEW contract ran its course in mid-June, and rumors flew faster than a Hardy Swanton Bomb that he was set to join TNA. The grapevine whispered that TNA insiders knew Jeff would swing by, but nobody spilled the beans before the big night. Talk about a surprise party where even the hosts weren’t quite sure who was coming!
Matt Hardy, the other half of this legendary tag team, wrapped up his AEW stint in April. Despite whispers of a WWE return, possibly aiding the mysterious Wyatt 6 faction, he opted for TNA, signing on for a short-term gig that quickly grew. It’s like when you go for a free sample and end up buying the whole product line. Still, despite their extended appearances and more dates on the horizon, “Fightful Select” insists the Hardys are not tethered by any contracts in TNA. They’re like that couple who keeps showing up to family gatherings without ever officially announcing they’re back together.
No one knows if the Hardy Boyz will eventually put pen to paper with TNA for a long-term commitment. As it stands, they’re playing it cool and keeping their options open, just like those folks who never RSVP but always show up to the party. There’s no buzz about any future dates with AEW either, leaving fans wondering if they’re playing the field.
The TNA brass were reportedly over the moon with The Hardys’ post-show pep talk, which also featured AAA Mega Champion Nic Nemeth (you might remember him as WWE’s Dolph Ziggler) and the viral sensation Joe Hendry. This backstage love fest might lead to more than just a short fling, but as of now, it’s all speculation. Stay tuned, wrestling world; the Hardys’ next move could be just as unpredictable as their high-flying antics in the ring.
