Hardy was let go by WWE after behaving strangely at a recent house show in Texas. In a tag team match with Drew McIntyre and Xavier Woods against The Bloodline in Edinburg, Hardy dropped everything in the middle of the match and left. He then took pictures with the crowd as the confused wrestlers who remained scrambled to work out a finish.

Jeff Hardy was offered help by WWE, but reportedly rejected it. His wife says he is fine. Hopefully, that is the case. The entire staff here at Ringside News are pulling for Jeff Hardy and his family in this difficult time.
