Details On Jeff Hardy ‘Erratic Behavior’ Prior To WWE Release

It was unfortunately revealed by Fightful Select yesterday (December 9) that Jeff Hardy had been released by WWE, just a few days after he was reportedly sent home from a live event taping.

It has since been revealed that Jeff was offered rehab and support by WWE, but Jeff reportedly refused both, and was subsequently released.

Speaking during a Fightful Select audio show, Sean Ross Sapp revealed further details regarding Hardy’s “erratic” behaviour shortly before his release.

Sapp said:

“Saturday night, Jeff Hardy was in a six-man tag team match and his behaviour was erratic. We have not reported if he was on some sort of substance, under the influence of a substance or intoxicated. We don’t know. The match was changed and adjusted on the fly because Jeff was not gonna be able to do his moves – it was very clear. By the time they knew something was off off, Jeff had tagged out, rolled out of the ring and went into the audience [mid-match].

“He was sent home the following day and WWE has released him. They offered him rehab and help, he did reject it. We’re told that he missed some signings and appearances, things like that, in the past and other wrestlers would step up and fill in for him.”

As Sean reports, there have been no reports as to exactly what prompted Jeff “erratic” behaviour. Both his wife Rebecca and brother Matt Hardy have made statements to say Jeff is “fine”.

Everyone at WrestleTalk sends our best wishes to Jeff and his family at this time.
