The approaching Royal Rumble 2025 could feature an unexpected appearance through the recently established partnership between WWE and TNA. Jeff Hardy, currently holding the TNA World Tag Team Championship, might enter the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.
Hardy departed WWE in 2021 after exiting a live event match by climbing over the guardrail into the crowd. WWE released Hardy after he declined rehabilitation services. The 47-year-old competitor subsequently signed with TNA, where he currently holds championship gold.
The recent agreement between WWE and TNA permits talent crossovers between both companies. Matt Hardy addressed this situation during The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, indicating a potential WWE return for both Hardy brothers.
