The former WWE superstar added, “We always thought that was going to be a pretty positive thing, you know? Sure. The reason he was gone was a very bad reason. But it is what it is. He’s Jeff Hardy, and the end of the day, at the end of the day, he is absolutely beloved.”

The former WWE Champion debuted in AEW last year and got suspended shortly afterward. The reason was being arrested for DUI. However, Tony Khan released a statement regarding AEW being there for Jeff and had suspended him without pay until he returns.
