Per @Fightful, WWE has released Jeff Hardy.

It is unknown at this point if the two incidents are related.
Hardy was most recently seen on this past week’s episode of Smackdown, alongside Drew McIntyre, as the pair took out Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss. You can see a clip of that below:
We will continue to monitor this story and provide updates as they become available to us.
Editor’s Opinion:
I have many thoughts about this. My first is that I hope that this has nothing to do with a substance relapse, as it is well documented that Hardy has had issues with this in the past. However, he seems to have cleaned up his act and is doing a lot better, so I hope that isn’t the case. My second thought is that WWE is continuing to look for reasons to release talent in order to make as much money as they possibly can, and if that is the case, then we have a whole other conversation to have.
