He was teaming with fellow WWE superstars Drew McIntyre and Xavier Woods against Roman Reigns and The Usos.

When he finally reached Drew for a hot tag, he left the ring and crossed over the barricade through the crowd. He did not return to celebrate with his team after winning the match.

Hardy was said to have been sent home from the house show tour last weekend after the incident. Before his release, Sean Ross Sapp wrote that he had heard that WWE offered hardy help and rehab, for which he refused. Jeff has had a history of substance abuse throughout his career.

It is unknown if the house show incident was due to a relapse.

After being drafted from Raw, Hardy recently joined the SmackDown roster back in October. He had as of late he was in a program with Drew McIntyre in a feud against happy Corbin and Madcap Moss. He first returned to the company with his brother Matt in 2017 at WrestleMania 33. However, his brother would depart from the company three years later to join AEW after his contract expired.
