Jeff Hardy is set for an upcoming absence from TNA Wrestling, and now the details are clear. According to Fightful Select, the absence was planned around the company’s Canadian tapings due to his previous legal issues — and Hardy is also dealing with bulging discs in his neck, though surgery isn’t currently expected.
Sources believe Hardy could return at December’s Texas tapings.

How TNA wrote Jeff Hardy off TV
Thursday’s TNA iMPACT! gave the absence a brutal storyline cover: Sam Shaw and Joseph Sawyer put a metal trash can over Jeff’s head and cut into it with axes. The violent write-off explains Hardy’s disappearance on screen while he recovers and sits out the Canadian dates.
Matt Hardy recently said publicly that Jeff might take time off to deal with the neck injury, so the plan aligns with what the family had already flagged.
What’s next for Jeff Hardy
The December Texas tapings are the target for a return, giving Hardy roughly a month-plus to rest his neck and clear the legal hurdles that kept him from the Canadian shows. For a daredevil whose career has been built on risking his body, even a short pause is a notable development.
