What's the story?
Post his triumphant return from injury, Jeff Hardy was interviewed by Mike Rome after Monday Night Raw went off the air. One of the questions Mike asked Jeff was the future of Brother Nero in the WWE.
In case you didn't know...
While it is unclear when the injury occurred, Jeff was last seen in the WWE in September of last year. He was in the midst of a push towards the WWE Intercontinental Championship that was held by The Miz at the time.
The heart of the matter...
With regards to Brother Nero surfacing in the WWE, Jeff stated that you'll probably see this persona come and go like Matt's many personalities. The debut of Brother Nero occurred at The Ultimate Deletion when he appeared at the Lake of Reincarnation to cause a distraction that led to Matt getting the victory.
Jeff returned to action for the first time in seven months on the Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania to join Seth Rollins and Finn Balor in the fight against Miz and The Miztourage. In describing his return, Jeff said that it was almost too good to be true, surreal, and fun to make his return on the "coolest Monday Night Raw of the year."
Take a look at the full interview below:
What's next?
While this is just the beginning for the return of Jeff Hardy, it appears that the WWE is going to put him right back in the WWE Intercontinental Championship chase with Finn Balor, The Miz, and the current champion, Seth Rollins.
Author's take...
Jeff is one of my all-time favourites so it is definitely a welcome sight to see him back on Monday Night Raw this week. I was a little surprised after he appeared in The Ultimate Deletion as Brother Nero that he came back as regular Jeff Hardy, but once I saw how the story played out between Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt, and the fact that those three could be a unit going forward, I was more than happy with the results of Monday.
