The Latest On Jeff Hardy & TNA-WWE Inside Here
Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
– As noted earlier, former WWE superstar Jeff Hardy wrote on Twitter that he and his girlfriend will be driving to Orlando, Florida on Monday to attend the live 3-hour TNA iMPACT! Jeff wrote, "Gonna roll with my boy @TheShannonBrand to FLA to put in a good word & check out tha show." TNA President Dixie Carter commented on the news of Jeff Hardy attending iMPACT. She wrote, "Heard Jeff Hardy is going to crash the party tomorrow. Everyone is welcome!!! Gonna be fun."
– At this point, it looks like Hardy will just be traveling to iMPACT! with Moore tomorrow and isn't set to be an actual part of the show.
– It should be noted that WWE officials were eying a match between CM Punk and a returning Jeff Hardy at WrestleMania XXIV. At the time of Hardy's departure this past summer, the impression given would be that he would return for a match with Punk at WrestleMania. Though movement has not yet been made, some within the company expect Hardy to return to build the program. One potential barrier is Hardy's ongoing drug-related case on charges of trafficking in controlled prescription pills and possession of anabolic steroids. With Linda McMahon's political aspirations still ongoing, the feeling is that WWE would not bring him back until his case gets put to rest.
