“I’ll Always Support Him..”: Matt Hardy Offers Comfort to Troubled Brother Jeff Hardy After Florida Court Decides His Fate

Wrestling icon Jeff Hardy has been through several issues in his personal life since the last year. These hurdles have created major doubts regarding his in-ring future. The police arrested him in June 2022 for driving under influence and he hasn’t stepped in the ring since then. However, his brother Matt Hardy recently shared a comforting message after his recent trial at a Florida court.

‘The Charismatic Enigma’ has been on a path to bring a change in his life for the past few months. And now, his brother Matt Hardy posted a tweet in which he shared how “proud” he is of Jeff Hardy.

The AEW star wrote, “Incredibly proud of my brother. For the last 9 months, he’s worked extraordinarily hard on himself. He’s in the best space I’ve seen him in for decades. I’ll always support him, believe in him & love him. I’m excited for your new lease on life & where it takes you.”

The former WWE champion was slated for a pre-trial hearing on February 23 in Florida as per PWInsider. The trial was conducted, and there is some relief for Hardy.

Jeff Hardy’s driving license suspended for 10 years 

Several wrestling fans were awaiting the outcome of Hardy’s trial. On Thursday, the Florida court gave their decision on his DUI case from June 2022. The current AEW star had “submitted a written plea of nolo contendere to all charges.”

As per Wrestling Observer Newsletter’s report, the court has suspended Jeff Hardy’s driving license for 10 years. Additionally, he will get 38 days credit for time served in a county jail as part of his sentence. Hardy will not serve jail time for his third DUI offense.

Nolo contendere is where a defendant agrees to accept punishment, but does not accept or deny responsibility for that in which they are charged.

When did Jeff Hardy last appear in a wrestling match?

In December 2021, WWE released Hardy after he walked away from a tag team match at a live show. After the 90-day no-compete clause, The Rainbow Haired Warrior debuted in AEW.

He had a series of outstanding matches in Tony Khan’s company. One of those was against Darby Allin that broke the internet. His last match came against Young Bucks at Double or Nothing 2022 where he got injured.

Unfortunately, AEW had to pull him out of action due to injury and, during the same time, the police arrested him in Florida. As of now there is further update on Hardy’s return to in-ring action.
