Jeff was an idiot to leave when he did.
He could have had an Edge-like career if he'd stayed, but he went to TNA because WWE wouldn't let him get high. Now he performs in front of a few hundred people on Impact instead of being in marquee matches at WrestleManias in front of 80,000 people.
I personally find it hard to watch Jeff after being so let down by him at Victory Road 2011. I actually haven't watched any segment involving him since that time. But, if he came to WWE and they totally controlled him, I'd be willing to give him another chance. I was a mark for him during his 2008-2009 peak.

I'd assume Jeff would get a nice reception.. maybe in the ballpark of when RVD returns?.. maybe better? Truthfully though, I don't see Jeff being able to climb back and effect the Main Event scene. There are just too many guys with a claim and are on cusp.
Jeff can still put on a good show, and it would be fun to see him against guys like Rollins and Neville.

Opinions on the subject of Jeff from a business statement are irrelevant, because the dude could walk right back in and be just as over as he was in 2009. Jeff's the only person to come close to rivaling Cena in popularity and merch sales. He's not popular on the internet, but neither is Cena, and Cena makes WWE a lot of money. We all know WWE likes money. Personally, I would prefer Jeff and Matt in the Midcard, but I wouldn't say no to a Main Event run. I'd honestly be surprised if he didn't at least dip into the ME at some time. After Ryback eventually loses the IC title, I'd love for Jeff to win it. He'd definitely elevate the title again. I wanted Ryback to do that, but they aren't booking him to where he is able to do that unfortunately. Jeff is such a weird case. He's not particularly great on the mic (except when he's high), he's  ed up countless times, the IWC pretty much universally hates him, and he's not a great wrestler, but the fans just love him. OMEGA shows draw around 3-4 thousand people I believe, that's far more than your average TNA show. Jeff just has this natural charisma that few people have. I don't know if it's the way he carries himself, the way he looks, or what, but he's always gotten a huge reaction. As long as he stays clean, bringing back Jeff would be a great decision for WWE. It's the appearance, mixed with his style in the ring. He just looks...cool. Doesn't matter who you are. And the guy has taken more insane spots than Foley. If Foley can be given that status just for giving his body to the fans, Jeff Hardy deserves ten times more. |

I'd love Jeff to back one WWE. So many wasted years in TNA with crappy feuds and storylines.

Jeff Hardy was never in any marquee matches at WrestleMania and never even won a WrestleMania match. The guy was the most popular wrestler in the company from 2008-09, yet his 3 combined World championship reigns lasted 2 months. Not exactly Edge-like. He has said he is much happier in TNA than he was in the WWE. |

Also, I don't think Jeff not getting Foleys "status" has anything to do with spots taken. More to do with Jeff's choices. |

No they don't. They could be doing a much better business if they would stop treating fans as enemies and push/make real stars. They like to make enough money to make a profit, but it's Vince's playplace, which is why they don't make more. Millionaire who should be a billionaire. |

Jeff Hardy returning as a surprise entrant in the 2016 Royal Rumble Match can you imagine if Hardy were to return as a surprise entrant shocking everyone? Just imagine the reception he would get just by showing up but Hardy if he were to ever leave TNA to return to WWE then the perfect way for him to return would be in the Royal Rumble Match as a surprise entrant so that way no one sees it coming

He set himself back a lot, but I could see him returning to WWE before he retires for one last go.
We have seen Sting do it, the Dudleyz... It only makes sense that he would end his career in WWE if at all possible.

The only capacity either Hardy should ever be utilized again in WWE is together, as a tag team.
