Rumor Roundup: Samoa Joe’s Potential Return Timeline, NXT Star Returns With A New Look, More

3) Jeff Hardy’s Current Status

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, WWE has urged Jeff Hardy to seriously address some of his issues. This comes after he was arrested for a DUI a few months ago.

Here is what Johnson said about Jeff:

“Jeff Hardy’s deal is that it’s frozen cause he’s hurt. So, they’ve tacked time on so why would they fire him when they can hold him even longer? As we know Jeff is in the middle of another legal quandary. I can tell you from a source very close to the situation that WWE strongly implored Jeff to address his health and we’re told that Jeff is doing that and really aggressively dove right into it. So, you can’t fire the guy when he’s doing what you ask him to do. We’ll see what happens when he goes to court.”

My Take: As a huge fan of Jeff, I hate seeing him run into trouble. I really hope that he is able to turn things around and avoid any future substance abuse issues.


2) NXT Star Returns With A New Look

Joaquin Wilde made his return in a dark match before NXT this week. He had been out of action with an eye socket injury for the past few months.

Not only did Wilde return from injury but he also showed off a new look. Here are some photos:

My Take: I was a fan of him before he came to WWE (as DJZ). He is someone to watch out for in NXT in 2020.
