Jeff Hardy has been in search of a career resurgence after being neglected on TV for over a year. After the legendary name was spotted chasing the 24/7 Title on Raw in recent times, a part of the IWC was infuriated with WWE creative team’s inability to utilize it in a proper way on TV. Now that he’s arrived back on Smackdown, perhaps something special could be waiting for him.
For sometimes, fans are wondering whether his Willow character will be allowed to be brought on WWE TV just like Brother Nero and Broken Matt Hardy characters from Impact Wrestling. Jeff Hardy recently appeared on The Culture State Podcast from WRAL Sports in North Carolina and teased that the masked Willow The Wisp character could be returning in the near future.

One of the hosts of the show recalled seeing Jeff Hardy as Willow on an indie event in Greensboro, North Carolina, years ago. The man behind that character said he’s having a new Willow mask being made. Obviously, he intends to bring the character back before his career is over.

“Speaking of Willow, I was just talking with the guy that makes these masks, who made it back then,” Jeff Hardy said. “He’s such an awesome mask maker and that’s now making this new Willow mask, and we were talking about the possibility of Willow entering the scene once again before my career is over.”
Jeff Hardy was sent to Smackdown during Draft 2021
As noted above, Jeff Hardy was sent to SmackDown from RAW in the WWE Draft 2021 Night One. He lost to WWE United States Champion Damian Priest on RAW and at the Extreme Rules PPV. He was then interviewed by Sarah Schreiber in the ring and during that interview, the WWE Legend said going to SmackDown might be the perfect time to see a different side of Jeff Hardy, or a different ego to tease the comeback of The Willow.
Speaking of The Willow, Jeff Hardy wrestled in this character, years ago before signing with WWE, when he and his brother Matt Hardy formed their own indie promotion in North Carolina, OMEGA. After ROH’s 2003 Death Before Dishonor event, Hardy introduced the Willow character to TNA in February and carried it through June 2014, losing to Nick Aldis at Slammiversary XII. He also briefly appeared as Willow during the “Wolf Creek Match” in October 2016.
