Earlier today, Khan released a statement on Twitter following Jeff Hardy's recent arrest. The former WWE Champion once again found himself in trouble with the law, as he was found to be driving under the influence.
TK has confirmed that Hardy will be suspended without pay. His statement read the following:
"We were able to resume contact with Jeff Hardy this afternoon. AEW does not condone Jeff's alleged behavior. We've made it clear to Jeff that we'll assist him in getting treatment for substance abuse issues, which he has indicated that he's open to receiving. In the interim, he is suspended without pay, and can only return to AEW upon successfully completing treatment and maintaining his sobriety."
