10 Missing WWE Superstars that could return at SmackDown FOX premiere

#3 The Hardy Boyz

Jeff Hardy

Jeff and Matt Hardy, known collectively as The Hardy Boyz, have been off WWE TV for several months, but for different reasons.

As it pertains to Jeff Hardy, the former WWE Champion has been off TV since undergoing knee surgery back in April of this year.

The timetable for Jeff Hardy's return to WWE TV has not been set in stone, but at last word he was set to return to the ring sometime this fall, meaning he could likely return at the big SmackDown premiere on FOX Sports next week. WWE recently extended Jeff Hardy's contract by one year due to injury time-off.

As for Matt Hardy, he has been off WWE TV since Jeff left to undergo surgery, and it appears as if WWE had no creative plans in place for him.

Most recently, Matt Hardy has been active on Twitter, teasing he might return to TV with his Woken gimmick, or a modified version of the gimmick along with prior Matt Hardy personas.

Either way, Matt Hardy is healthy and cleared to compete, meaning a Hardy Boyz return to TV is very possible on SmackDown next week.
