Jeff Hardy is All Elite. AEW President and CEO Tony Khan took to Twitter to confirm Jeff has signed with the company.
Jeff made his AEW debut on Wednesday night’s AEW Dynamite. Jeff came out to the ring using to his “Loaded” theme song which he previous used in WWE. Several sources are reporting that AEW has officially acquired the license for the theme song that was never owned or trademarked by WWE.
Below is an excerpt taken from Josh Boutwell’s very detailed AEW Dynamite recap, on how it all went down with Jeff’s AEW debut.
Andrade and Matt Hardy are holding a meeting of AHFO in the ring. Andrade taunts Hardy about stinking and Hardy apologizes to his guys and says it seems like every time he puts a suit on he transforms into an asshole like Andrade. They take a vote about whether Hardy should stay in the group and Private Party gives him the thumbs up first but then when Hardy turns around they do a thumbs down. Andrade says you have to always watch your back in this business and they jump him.
Darby Allin and Sting come out to make the save but the numbers get the better of them, too. The Hardy Boyz theme hits and JEFF HARDY hits the ring! He cleans house and hits the Swanton Bomb on Blade! Jeff and Matt hug as the fans lose their minds
