Jeff Hardy to AEW is not a foregone conclusion.
Since being released by WWE on December 9, many speculated that Jeff Hardy would be joining his brother Matt in AEW once his non-compete clause ended on March 9. Jeff seemed to confirm as much last Wednesday when during an interview with Jared Myers he said, "I'm going to AEW. I'm so excited... I'm so nervous and excited."
Hardy walked back his comments a few days later saying, "Nothing is official. It can’t be right now. I’ve simply set a goal for myself & I will achieve it…eventually? The main thing is, ”Don’t get excited!”
During Tony Khan's AEW Revolution media call, the AEW President commented on the status of Jeff and AEW, noting that he would love to have him join the company once he is free and clear.
"I don't think anybody should consider it a foregone conclusion. I do really like Jeff a lot. He is still obligated to another company for at least several more days. At some point, when Jeff is free and clear, I would love to have Jeff in AEW. Jeff is a friend of mine, I really like him very much and I think the world of him and have a lot of respect for him as a wrestler and he's also a very nice person. I think he would fit in very well in AEW and we would love to have him, potentially," Khan said.
Over the past two months, Hardy has done an acoustic meet and greet tour and has been announced for upcoming independent dates where he will be reunited with Matt Hardy.
