Backstage Update On Jeff Hardy’s TNA Status

While all reports yesterday suggested Jeff Hardy signed a deal with TNA, there is at least some skepticism from those close to the former WWE World Heavyweight Champion.

According to some within Hardy’s inner circle, there is a belief that his appearance on Monday’s iMPACT! was similar to the original Bobby Lashley debut in that he was put on television without a written contract.

Though some still maintain Hardy signed with TNA for the short-term, a portion of insiders believe it was a one-shot deal. There is also an intermediate group holding that Hardy did not sign a written commitment to appear in future but went on television with a verbal understanding that he would indeed return for future broadcasts.
