AEW star Matt Hardy is spilling the beans on WWE's attempts to patch things up with his brother, Jeff Hardy.

Last week, reports surfaced that WWE was having second thoughts about letting Jeff go. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, WWE higher-ups were concerned that Jeff would reunite with Matt in AEW and reached out to the former WWE Champion in an attempt to make amends.

During a recent Twitch stream, Matt Hardy cleared up some details regarding the aforementioned reports.

"[Jeff] got a call, which -- this has been reported online -- from John Laurinaitis, and they had offered to induct him into the [WWE] Hall of Fame, and they said they wanted to do this. I know people have seen this online and that’s not made up," Matt confirmed.

As reported, Jeff Hardy was released by WWE on December 9 following an incident at a WWE live event at which he allegedly performed while inebriated. Hardy was reportedly sent home from the house show, which led to much speculation among fans regarding his well-being.

Matt added that his fellow Hardy Boy wasn't interested in linking back up with WWE, but did ask Laurinaitis to provide evidence that Jeff had failed a drug test.

That’s a real thing that happened and he [Jeff] just asked for his drug test at the very end of the conversation and said, ‘No, I just want my drug test. I want the clean result,’ kind of the clearest thing if that makes sense and I think it should, especially given his history."

We already know that The Hardy Boyz will work together for the first time in three years at a Big Time Wrestling event in March, but what Jeff does after that remains to be seen.

On the topic of Jeff's next move, legendary AEW play-by-play announcer Jim Ross thinks he should join his brother in AEW.

"I hope that someday he’s wrestling for AEW," JR said during a recent episode of his Grilling JR podcast. "It’s a no-brainer. Can you imagine the Young Bucks and the Hardy Boyz? The Hardyz and the Lucha Bros? The Hardyz and FTR, the battle of North Carolina...there’s a year right there, easy. So in any event, when the lay of the land is conducive...somewhere down the road that’d be the thing to do, and it would help the tag team scene immensely.”
