Jeff Hardy was released by WWE, and fans aren’t happy. According to Fightful, WWE let Hardy go after he reportedly denied help and rehab from the company. Hardy was reportedly sent home while on the road over the weekend. He missed Sunday’s event in Corpus Christi, Texas after working Saturday’s live event in Edinburg, Texas teaming with King Xavier Woods and Drew McIntyre. It was reported that Hardy look slugging during the match and left as the match was still going on.
Hardy has had issues with drugs and alcohol over the years. He appeared on Broken Skull Sessions in November and talked about being arrested in 2009 for illegally ordering controlled prescription pills. “I was ordering pills illegally in the mail [and] got busted. SWAT team comes into my house, me and my wife and our little dog,” Hardy said, per Wrestling Headlines. “I was busted. I got busted for getting pills illegally. I thought my life was over. (I) went to jail that weekend. It was a mind-blowing experience. I was terrified. I thought my life was over. That was the time that really scared me straight. Hardy was also arrested twice in 2019 for alcohol-related issues. Here’s a look at WWE fans and Superstars reacting to Hardy’s release.
