Hardy was taken off television the week prior to the company going to the United Kingdom to tape four weeks worth of TV shows after he was attacked by the Aces & Eights.

The real reason Hardy did not travel to the UK with the rest of the TNA crew was because his legal issues in the United States prevented him from traveling across the pond.

TNA knew about the issue but decided to keep the title on Hardy despite knowing the fact that he would be missing a month worth of television shows.

Hardy is now under contract to TNA till February 2015, following a two year extension.

This is Hardy’s second stint with the company after a two year deal between 2004 and 2006. After a three year stint in WWE where he won the WWE title for the first time, Hardy returned to TNA on the first live Monday episode of IMPACT in January 2010.

Coincidentally enough, Jeff Hardy was added to WWE.COM under the Alumni section this week.

In an official statement, TNA said that Hardy will not be making appearances on the other side of the pond due to an “injury” that he sustained at the hands of Aces & Eights during yesterday’s tapings of IMPACT that will air this coming Friday. In reality, Jeff Hardy cannot travel to the UK due to legal issues he has in the United States.

TNA also announced that Sting will be replacing Hardy on the tour and he will be appearing at all live events including the four television tapings that will be held. Hulk Hogan will also be part of the TV tapings.

Speaking about his problems with addictions, Hardy said that there will also be people who will doubt him and waiting for him to crash and burn again but his mind and heart are “stronger than they’ve ever been” and he really doesn’t care what other people think about him.

He discussed how music helped him go through the dark times and coming back to the ring and proving himself to everyone was part of the recovery of getting himself in better shape.

When he was asked about possibly going to WWE when his TNA contract is up, Hardy gave the never say never answer.

“Man, I really can’t answer that. I’m happy where I’m at right now with TNA. But you never say never in this business, so it depends on where I’ll be at in a few months.”
