Jeff Hardy, the charismatic wrestler currently sidelined due to an injury, has sparked speculation about his immediate future in All Elite Wrestling (AEW) with a cryptic post on Instagram.
The enigmatic superstar, who has been missing from action since February, shared a video featuring his Willow the Wisp persona, leaving fans wondering if he plans to bring this alter-ego to Tony Khan’s promotion.
Hardy’s injury woes began on the February 14th edition of Rampage, where he suffered a loss to Sammy Guevara and sustained a nasty nose injury courtesy of a botched move from The Spanish God.
Since then, he has been absent from TV, fueling rumors about his future in AEW. The recent post has added fuel to the fire, with many speculating about the possibility of Hardy bringing his beloved Willow character to AEW.
Meanwhile, Ryback, a former WWE star, recently weighed in on Hardy’s AEW future, suggesting that he could leave for WWE soon.
Ryback’s comments came amidst rumors that Matt Hardy, Jeff’s brother, might be waiting for Jeff’s AEW contract to end so that both could return to WWE together.
Matt Hardy left AEW and made an appearance at TNA Rebellion but remains a free agent, with many expecting him to eventually land in WWE for a final run.
Ryback’s theory is that Matt might have reached out to WWE and is waiting for Jeff’s contract to expire before making a move. This would allow the Hardy Boyz to return to WWE together, potentially for one last hurrah.
However, it’s worth noting that AEW was reportedly planning to extend Jeff’s contract till 2025 due to his injury and sabbatical period, but this change wasn’t made, and his contract is now set to end this spring.
As the wrestling world continues to speculate about Jeff Hardy’s future, one thing is certain – his cryptic post has sent shockwaves through the industry. Will he bring Willow the Wisp to AEW?
Will he reunite with his brother in WWE? Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure – Jeff Hardy remains one of the most intriguing figures in professional wrestling.
