"Welcome back Jethro" - Bully Ray, Summer Rae and several stars react to Jeff Hardy's jaw-dropping AEW return

On tonight's episode of AEW Dynamite, the wrestling world was shocked as Jeff Hardy made his return. Top wrestling stars have since reacted to his return.

Last week on Dynamite, Matt Hardy turned on The Firm by costing Ethan Page the FTW Championship. The latter wanted some answers this week. The former WWE RAW Tag Team Champion revealed that the contract for the aforementioned title match had a small stipulation that if Hook won the match, then Hardy and the Private Party were free from The Firm.

This enraged Page and the rest of the faction showed up to attack Hardy and Cassidy. The FTW Champion Hook came out to help them out, but the numbers game was too much.

But then, to everyone's astonishment, The Charismatic Enigma made his return to the show after over 300 days and took out The Firm.
