WWE Dragged For Putting Jeff Hardy In Controversial Storylines

Jeff Hardy is a true veteran in the pro wrestling world, having worked in various promotions in his career. Hardy has always managed to reinvent himself and stay relevant throughout his pro wrestling career. He teamed with Matt Hardy for years, and his brother recently opened up about one of his more controversial storylines in his career, one that featured Jeff Hardy.

Hardy is set for a pre-trial hearing this week due to his recent DUI. That ordeal is far from over for Jeff, but that didn’t stop WWE from writing it into his storylines even before this recent situation.

Back at the 2009 Royal Rumble, Matt Hardy betrayed his brother Jeff and cost him the World Heavyweight Championship, helping Edge win the title. Afterwards, the two were engaged in a bitter feud that lasted for the next few months.

During a recent Busted Open Radio appearance, Matt Hardy talked about his controversial storyline with Jeff Hardy and criticized WWE for putting them in the storylines.

“Those were both bad calls in the big scheme of things,” Hardy said. “Even when my brother was back, and he’d had his struggles over the years with addiction and alcohol. When they put him an addict/alcoholism angle, I feel like those are in bad taste. I think you won’t be seeing that as much now that Triple H is in charge.”

We will have to wait and see when Jeff Hardy will be able to make his return to AEW television or not.
