Jeff Hardy release from WWE was one of the most shocking things happened in the pro wrestling world. After his release there were lots of rumors and speculations about the reason of his release. Even Jeff gets quite vocal about WWE in one of his recent interviews and slammed WWE for giving him a choice to go to rehab. Later in an interview Hardy announced that he is going to AEW and that came as a shock for many fans because Jeff is under 90-days non compete clause and he cannot announce joining another company in public.
According to Dave Meltzer from Wrestling Observer Radio, WWE is planning to sue AEW over Jeff Hardy’s contract breach. They are looking for the evidence for contract tampering.
“Hardy, today, is under contract to WWE. If you say that, it’s like, it’s frickin’ admission to tampering. Jeff saying it’s already a problem with WWE, because, of course, they’re looking to do something legally in this situation. I mean, they’re looking for that mistake.
“Look, we all know Jeff Hardy is coming in. Jeff Hardy himself said it until he realized, ‘Oh my god, I just f****d up!’ So, he had to say, ‘I didn’t mean it,’ because it’s like…of course, he’s coming in, unless something falls through. It’s understood. Everyone in wrestling knows it, but you can’t say it.”
