By Marc Middleton

Several WWE Superstars took to Twitter today to support Jeff Hardy following his WWE release.

As noted, it was revealed today that Hardy is no longer with WWE. The company reportedly offered him help and rehab, but he turned them down, and was then released from his contract. Hardy's release comes after the incident at last Saturday's WWE live event in Edinburg, TX.

Cedric Alexander, who worked with Hardy this past summer and in late 2020, also wrote about how he looked up to The Hardy Boys when he was coming up. He thanked Jeff for being Jeff.

"Jeff Hardy along with Matt as the Hardy Boyz, helped mold my love for professional wrestling. I was able to share a ring with Jeff on multiple occasions and enjoyed every moment of it. Thank you for just being Jeff Hardy," Cedric wrote.

Mustafa Ali has worked a few multi-man matches with Hardy but he recalled their WWE Main Event match from June 3 of this year, which Ali won. Ali revealed a conversation they had before the match.

"I got to compete against Jeff Hardy on Main Event. I made the assumption that Jeff was going to take it 'easy.' Jeff says 'Nah man, I've been waiting for this match. Let's tear this sh*t up.' He was incredibly giving. I sincerely hope for the best for Jeff and his family," Ali wrote.
