Jeff Hardy was pulled over by police in Volusia County, Florida, on June 13, 2022. He was arrested for driving under the influence and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
He was jailed the same day but released after posting a $3,500 bond. Hardy hasn’t made any public appearances or statements since the arrest.
Many have shared their thoughts on the situation, with Booker T suggesting AEW needs to take responsibility for what happened to the former WWE Champion. Here’s what he had to say on his Hall of Fame podcast:
Booker added that anyone tempted to post negative messages on social media about Hardy needs to think twice as it can have a serious impact on people:
Jeff Hardy has since been suspended without pay from AEW
In light of the arrest, AEW President Tony Khan posted a statement to the official All Elite Wrestling Twitter account explaining Jeff’s position in the company. While Jeff won’t be fired, he’ll be suspended without pay and won’t be able to return until he undergoes treatment for abuse issues.
At the time of writing, there’s no indication of what this means for Jeff’s brother Matt Hardy, who’s still scheduled to appear at this weekend’s TripleMania event for AAA with a different partner.
Everyone at Sportskeeda Wrestling hopes Jeff Hardy gets help and soon returns.
