After Matt Hardy left WWE and joined Tony Khan’s AEW, rumours started swirling that Jeff Hardy would join his brother as soon as his WWE contract expires. However, Jeff Hardy shot down those rumours recently as he signed a new contract with Vince McMahon's promotion. The Charismatic Enigma sat down with BT Sport earlier where he revealed that he made a special request to WWE officials before signing the contract.

Jeff Hardy mentioned that being able to use his old theme song “No More Words” was one of the terms he laid out in order to ensure his stay with the company. Until now, Jeff Hardy has been walking out to “The Hardy Boyz” theme song. He said that “The Hardy Boyz” music is for both Matt and Jeff Hardy but “No More Words” is just for him and he would get more of a ‘boost’ if he were walking out to a song made solely for him.

“That (No More Words) was the deal for me re-signing. That’s going to boost me even more. To hear that music again… I think the Hardy Boyz music is just for Matt and Jeff Hardy, not just Jeff Hardy,” added the Intercontinantal Champion.
