Why Jeff Hardy Declined WWE Rehab

Jeff Hardy and his WWE career, munch like his life, has been a rollercoaster. They have been moments are great accomplishment and then those of concern.

Despite being one of the most popular wrestlers to ever work for WWE, drugs have been a problem for Hardy. So much, that he has been suspended and even fired by WWE.

His last run ended in a shocking manner. In the middle of match during a live event, Hardy tagged out and left through the crowd.

Immediately, fans feared the worst. Also, hid sloppy performance inside the ring did not help.

Not long after the incident, WWE confirmed they released Hardy. Now, while speaking to YouTuber Jared Myers, Hardy notes how it all came-down to his refusal to enter rehab. 

“They released me and tried to make me go to rehab but I’m just so over it,” said Hardy. “My dream match was with Roman Reigns.” 

“I’ve talked about that many times, but then I said, ‘so you want me to go away for like 28 days just to save my job?’ No.”

“You know what’s important to me? Family. My two daughters, my wife, they believe in me. F— WWE man.” 

“It’s like a private, personal thing and I’m not going to f*cking go to rehab. If they believe in me, that’s all that matters, my wife and my two girls.”
