Matt and Jeff Hardy will be back in WWE, and they will be making their debut very soon.
That’s according to this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), which reports that the only question is “what day and what brand.” The family will be in Orlando the day of WrestleMania, and the brothers will be defending the Ring of Honor Tag Team Title the night before the show.
The one clue we might have is WWE’s sudden, impromptu promotion of the Raw tag team triple threat as a ladder match, which was teased only six days before WrestleMania. That, of course, is a match popularized by the Hardys.
One other lingering question does come in the form of the “Broken” gimmick. Impact and the Hardys continue in their legal battle over the character, and Impact’s case is at least strong enough that Ring of Honor has been skittish about allowing the gimmick, but another source suggests WWE would not have similar concerns.
Apparently, The Hardy's returning to WWE is pretty much a done deal. In terms of Impact suing them, good luck going up against WWE in court.

It’s worth noting that WWE’s social media channels have been slyly promoting the Broken gimmick all week–and Matt’s been responding.
It looks like we’ll have the Hardys back under the WWE banner soon, and while we can’t say with complete certainty when that debut is happening, signs point to it being within the next seven days.
