I got to compete against Jeff Hardy on Main Event. I made the assumption that Jeff was going to take it “easy.” Jeff says “Nah man, I’ve been waiting for this match. Let’s tear this sh*t up.” He was incredibly giving. I sincerely hope for the best for Jeff and his family. pic.twitter.com/m7Qp1XOo6t

This match is the reason I’m even here right now: https://t.co/jE3WzRll9h
Today I hope that the man behind the makeup is okay.
Peace & Love. @JEFFHARDYBRAND

At this point, I don't care if Jeff Hardy ever wrestles another match or where it happens.
