A rough year for Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy has had a rough 2019. The younger Hardy brother managed to win the WWE SmackDown Tag-Team Championships along with brother Matt in April. Hardy then suffered a knee injury and had to relinquish the title. Hardy was supposed to be out of action for six to nine months. It was being speculated that Hardy would be back in action by December or maybe even November, but his latest brush with the law may delay his return.
