WWE Pulls Jeff Hardy From Upcoming Events as He Tests Positive for COVID-19

WWE Raw Superstar Jeff Hardy has fallen victim to COVID-19. It has been reported that the Superstar tested positive, and will now be in quarantine resulting in missing some of the upcoming WWE episodes.

The announcement first appeared on recordBar’s Facebook page. Jeff Hardy was supposed to make an appearance with them on July 26th, but had to cancel following testing positive.

“We regret to inform you that the event with Jeff Hardy to take place on Monday July 26, 2021 at recordBar in Kansas City, MO will have to be postponed to a later date. Jeff Hardy just tested positive for COVID this morning, and will have to quarantine for the next two weeks, and will not be participating in any live events for the next two weeks.” H/t recordBar

The organizer has informed everyone who purchased tickets that a rescheduled date will be announced. However, they’re offering a refund for anyone who cannot attend the event on the rescheduled date.

It’s unknown exactly how severely or mildly he has been affected. There’s no news of him being hospitalised or going into intensive care. It’s possible for now he will be in quarantine and try to recover with the home quarantine protocols. Hopefully he will recover soon, and return to the ring hale and hearty!

Jeff Hardy returned with his old theme song

When WWE restarted the tours, all the fans were excited to come to the arena. On his first Monday Night Raw following Money in the Bank, the audience were cheering loudly for their favourite Superstars.

However, WWE had a surprise in store when NXT Champion Karrion Kross made his Raw debut. His celebration was cut short when Hardy came out to the arena with his old theme song “No More Words” and attacked Karrion Kross.

Even though nothing is set in writing, this could be WWE’s way of paving Karrion Kross’ main roster feud after he drops the NXT Championship title and begins working with Raw at full capacity.

Now, Jeff Hardy may not have been positive when he was performing on Raw: July 19th, 2021. However, as per protocols, everyone he came in contact with a few days prior to testing positive will have to undergo COVID-19 tests. This means, even Karrion Kross will have to get himself tested for the virus.

If he tests positive as well, it could put a huge spanner in WWE’s plans for the current NXT Champion.
