Update on original plans for AEW Triple Threat Ladder match
Added 2022-06-19 01:28:31 +0000 UTCIn the days that followed the ladder match on Dynamite, reports emerged that the Hardy Boyz weren't even planned to actually compete in the match.
Bryan Alvarez reported two days following the ladder match that even prior to Jeff Hardy's DUI arrest, The Hardy Boyz were to be attacked and taken out of the triple threat title ladder match. However, Fightful has learned that isn't accurate.
Prior to the DUI arrest, the Hardy Boyz were still slated for the match on the June 15 AEW Dynamite, but Jeff Hardy's performance was going to be contingent on him being cleared and able to be in the ring. If he wasn't cleared and given the go ahead, he would have been written out of the match, but Matt Hardy was to still compete, per AEW sources.
As of now, we have no update on plans for Matt Hardy moving forward. Jeff Hardy must receive treatment and maintain sobriety in order to return to AEW.

Bryan with an inaccurate report. What a shock. Jeff needs to go to treatment and maintain sobriety for at least a year before I’d even consider letting him come back because he’s shown that he can’t maintain it for a significant length of time. If he can’t, fire him.
