#3. Hope isn't true: WWE only wanted Jeff Hardy when The Hardy Boyz returned in 2017

The end of a run?

While there has been a lot of speculation that Matt Hardy leaving WWE soon, Jeff Hardy has reportedly been training for a return. Either way, the dynamic has remained the same - with WWE bringing back the Hardy Boyz, Jeff Hardy getting a push and then going back to Matt Hardy.

Tom Colohue said that when WWE brought the Hardy Boyz back in 2017, the intention was to push Jeff Hardy because that's who they mainly wanted:

When they brought him and Matt back, the idea for the tag team was that they didn’t want to just bring Jeff back but Jeff was the one they really wanted. They really didn’t want to bother with the Broken Universe, even though they were eventually into it, they really didn’t fancy that. They wanted Jeff Hardy and they brought Matt Hardy to be sort of a chaperone, the idea being that with Matt there, Jeff’s more wild impulses will be a bit more tempered. That has not proven to be the case. It will be interesting now because to my knowledge, Jeff Hardy will happily return, and once he is fit and ready to go, we will see him again and there would be storylines and there would be death-defying stunts.

We hope this isn't true because Matt Hardy has proven numerous times that he's far more capable and consistent on the character side of things.
