Update on Jeff Hardy's absence (Patreon)

Jeff Hardy has been written off TNA TV again, but it's something that they planned for.

On a recent episode of The Extreme Life with Matt Hardy, Matt noted that Jeff Hardy was having issues with bulging disks in his neck and would need to take some time off. We're told that it doesn't look like surgery would be required now, but did contribute to his upcoming absence from TNA.

However, the primary reason for Hardy's absence is that TNA is filming in Canada and because of Hardy's previous legal issues, TNA writes him off any time they head north of the border. One TNA source said it ended up being a perfect storm to keep him off TV, and he can hopefully heal up in the coming months.

TNA could film things with him that still air on the shows, but he won't be in Canada at the events. Those we spoke to believe he would be back at the December tapings in Texas. Even though he'll be off the road for the Canada loop, Hardy still has at least a couple of big public appearances. He's slated to appear on the Jericho Cruise, as well as WrestleCade.
