WWE RELEASES JEFF HARDY ARREST UPDATE

By Paul Jordan on 2020-05-30 11:06:00

WWE posted the following explanation of Jeff Hardy's reemergence during the main event of Smackdown last night after he had been arrested as part of a storyline that kicked off at the start of the episode:

WWE Digital has learned Jeff Hardy was released from custody by the Orlando police after successfully passing the required sobriety tests, therefore absolving Hardy of the charges of public intoxication, driving under the influence, and the hit-and-run on Elias earlier tonight.

Elias was found injured in the parking lot with an abandoned car nearby before Friday Night SmackDown began. Hardy was taken into custody after being found in a dazed state not far from the scene, but he reemerged as Sheamus battled Daniel Bryan in the night's final match.

Stay tuned to WWE social and digital channels for the latest updates on the developing situation.

Given that Hardy attacked Sheamus, the next step in the storyline is likely that Sheamus was the person responsible.
