Jeff Hardy Suspended From AEW
What to Know Following Suspension
Tony Khan stated, in the aforementioned statement, “We were able to resume contact with Jeff Hardy this afternoon. AEW does not condone Jeff’s alleged behavior. We’ve made it clear to Jeff that we’ll assist him in getting treatment for substance abuse issues, which he has indicated that he’s open to receiving.” Nonetheless, Hardy has been suspended from AEW for the time being. Khan also offered SAMHSA’s National Helpline in the statement for those in need of help.
Jeff Hardy made his AEW debut this past March following weeks of speculation. He had been released from his WWE contract the December prior and it didn’t take long for rumors to circulate that he’d join his brother, Matt Hardy, in AEW. Together, The Hardys feuded with such teams as Team AHFO and The Young Bucks prior to Jeff’s suspension.
