WWE Latest News: Jeff Hardy Eyes Return; Company Tightens Policy On Wrestlers' Medical Insurance
Former World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Jeff Hardy is eyeing a return with the company since leaving in 2009.
Hardy had already left the WWE twice: first in 2003, where he had problems keeping up with the job's demands. He left the company in April of the said year and in a March 2007 interview with IGN.com, he claimed being "burned out" was his main reason for leaving.
After being signed by other promotion companies, Hardy made his second return to the WWE in August 2006, and enjoyed a good amount of success as the Intercontinental Champion. He left the company again three years after, this time citing injuries as the reason for doing so.

Currently competing within the independent professional wrestling circuits, the 38-year-old Hardy recently revealed his intent to return to the WWE. In a report by Cageside Seats, the former other half of "The Hardy Boyz" says there is a "huge possibility down the road" for a WWE return, along with his long-time tag team partner, Matt Hardy.
Jeff adds that while he is still unsure when his return would be, he also confirms, "definitely, it's a possibility."
"Everything with me -- Matt's ready to go, he could do anything now -- but everything depends on my knee right now as far as my future," said Hardy.
Meanwhile, the WWE has opted to tighten its measures in terms of the health insurance policies for the talents on its roster.
In another report by Keith Harris of Cageside Seats, the company has decided to do random checks with insurance providers to ensure that the information provided by its talents are "correct, up to date, and in order."
The WWE, however, has never been responsible for providing the said service for its wrestlers. As stated on the company's standard booking contract, each wrestler is required to maintain the health insurance coverage at his or her cost and expense.
