5 WWE Superstars who rejected a Hall of Fame induction

#1. Former WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy was only released from the company a few weeks ago, and already it has emerged that the former world champion has rejected an induction into the Hall of Fame.

According to a recent report by The Wrestling Observer, John Laurinaitis recently called Hardy in an attempt to offer him a return to WWE and a Hall of Fame induction later this year, but the former star turned him down.

"Here is an update on Jeff Hardy. John Laurinaitis called Jeff Hardy to get him back a few weeks ago, including an offer to put him in the 2022 Hall of Fame class. Hardy turned it down and asked for his drug test results because he knew he wasn’t going to test positive for recreational drugs. It took Hardy and his wife six weeks to get the results back. There is a feeling right now that this is one guy they don’t want in AEW because of the realization the Hardy Boys will be revitalized as an act given the level of teams like the Young Bucks, FTR, Santana & Ortiz, Penta & Fenix and so many others. Hardy is still under contract with WWE through 3/9 so AEW can’t make a legal offer to him, but the belief is that unless he goes back to WWE, which at this point doesn’t look like it will happen, he would be AEW bound," said Meltzer.

There has been no real update on Jeff Hardy's move over to AEW to work alongside his brother, but the star's non-compete clause isn't set to expire until March 9th.
