News broke on June 13th, 2022 that AEW star Jeff Hardy had been arrested on various charges. The news has shaken the wrestling world, especially on social media as Twitter has reacted in various ways.
Hardy, whose demons have been the subject of storyline ridicule in his career, has had his demons catch up to him once again. He was jailed on charges of driving under the influence, multiple violations of the restrictions placed on a driver's license, as well as driving while a license is canceled or provoked.
Wrestling fans across the world have sent their best wishes to the former WWE Champion, as fans just want one thing for Jeff and that's to see him get better. Ross Twedell of Cultaholic Wrestling tweeted that Jeff Hardy not only needs to get help but needs time away from the ring.
New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
Social media influencer @TheEnduringIcon tweeted his thoughts on the situation, saying that after 20 years, it stings to see Hardy in the same troubling position.
Some users like @Sooplex think it's time for Hardy to potentially retire from the ring as the business seems to be more of a hindrance than a help at this point.
While many have had nothing but support for Hardy's situation like the Pro Wrestling Finesse Twitter page...
...others have voiced their frustrations at the fact that Hardy refused rehab in December 2021, which ultimately led to his release from WWE.
While many have varying levels of hope and sympathy for the former WWE Champion, arguably the most important message that should be put forward for Hardy is that help is out there.
This was echoed in a video posted by @NhatHoangRBLX which showed CM Punk addressing AEW fans in the wake of Jon Moxley's rehab treatment in November 2021.
Everybody at Sportskeeda Wrestling wishes nothing but the best for Jeff Hardy, and hopes he can return better than ever, but most importantly, healthier than ever.
If you know anyone in your life that has been affected by addiction, don't hesitate to seek help from friends, family or medical professionals. Help is out there.
