Jeff Hardy denies he and Broken Matt are on their way to WWE any time soon
Earlier this week, WWE appeared to either tease the return of Matt and Jeff Hardy or expertly troll the entire internet wrestling community with a highly coincidental series of tweets:

Yet it sounds like we'll have to wait a little longer for the brothers' broken brilliance to make its way to WWE, according to Jeff Hardy.
The man formerly known as Brother Nero joined CBS in Orlando on Friday to discuss the Hardys' departure from Impact, the status of the broken universe, and much more — including spilling the beans on the brothers' current standing with WWE.
Via ProWrestling.net:
On reports that WWE presented them with contracts: "No, because you have to go through so much testing and all of that. It’s a long process. But, no. We know some people there and naturally after WrestleMania dies down, maybe a couple of months from now, we’ll see what’s possible. But there is no truth to that whatsoever."
"It’s heartbreaking. I’m so passionate about any character I portray whether it’s Willow, the Anti-Christ, the Charismatic Enigma, Itchweed… I’m so passionate about that. Nero is my legit middle name. Me not being able to be called Brother Nero is very offensive and heartbreaking. The highest rated show last year was The Final Deletion and that’s a fact. The majority vote wins and people dug that. And then they kind of (pooped) on it. That’s not cool.
"And now with this lawsuit, we did this Ring of Honor pay-per-view out in Las Vegas and we got these cease and desist letters. I couldn’t believe it. In the print it said TNA developed these characters specifically for Matt and Jeff Hardy and that is so untrue. Matt developed himself and Brother Nero started to flow. I developed Brother Nero with the eyes and how I act. It’s all ours and it is very sad an disappointing. It’s almost surreal like, 'Is this really happening?'"
