However, the reunion tour ended abruptly on June 12, 2022, when Jeff Hardy was arrested and charged with DUI. It was his third offense within the past ten years.

Jeff Hardy Returns To AEW After 10-Month Suspension

On tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite, Jeff Hardy made his return to the company and to public life. He came to the aid of his brother Matt, Hook, and Isiah Kassidy as the trio was being attacked by Ethan Page and the Firm. Jeff received a massive, excited ovation from the AEW fans in attendance. He came to the ring with a steel chair that he painted himself and used it to subdue his opponents before hitting Lee Moriarty with his signature Swanton Bomb.

While fans are, of course, excited to see Jeff Hardy on television again, there is an undercurrent of worry about the legend's health. Sobriety, after all, is not a linear road. We wish him nothing but continued health, happiness, and safety as he seeks to pick up where he left off alongside Matt in AEW.
