#4 Why couldn't he be an effective manager?
This one seems like the least likely option, but if Jeff still isn’t 100% cleared to go in the ring, it could be the smart way to go. After all, Matt is the guy WWE seems intent on pushing right now, and perhaps they believe Jeff will just get in the way of their eventual end goal. We don’t know what that is, but hey, you never know sometimes with this company.
Jeff as a manager may not work out great in a babyface capacity, but perhaps you could have him assist Matt as Brother Nero if the duo were to turn heel. It’d obviously be a huge risk and his popularity may not end up recovering with the casual audience, but it’s better than him sitting on the shelf for a few more months.
