Confirmation on Jeff Hardy’s TNA status remains tricky, as reports continue to conflict as to the nature of his agreement to appear.
Nonetheless, if there is a deal, and many of his friends still maintain that he never signed a formal contract, it obviously was not for a regular, long-term stint with the company based on the lack of significant follow-up to his January 4 return.
While some friends have pushed for him to return to WWE, it is not clear that he has any interest in doing so. One interesting report claims that Hardy was “furious” with the angle in which CM Punk poked fun at his arrest. The feeling among many was that because it made no obvious business sense and did nothing to further a long-term angle, it was just a mean-spirited shot.
Some speculate that one of the drivers behind Hardy’s surprise TNA iMPACT! appearance was his frustration with how WWE handled the arrest story.
