On March 9, 2022, Jeff Hardy joined the league of AEW. He made his first appearance by rescuing his brother, Matt Hardy, from the Andrade Family Office. Jeff Hardy abruptly stopped on his way to the ring to perform his traditional entrance juke, which quickly became a meme.
Jeff joined his brother on the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast to discuss his AEW debut from a week ago. Jeff discussed coming down to the ring with the charged music that he and his brother have been using in WWE for decades.

“It was awesome and that’s one of the big things, I’ve seen that music on so many reality shows over the years,” Jeff Hardy said. “I’ve heard it on all these other shows and anytime I do hear it, it is The Hardy Boyz music. Even moving forward I think it would be really cool if I can bring back one of my origins to when we do have singles matches, whatever music he comes out to, [Matt] uses that and then I come out to whatever I come to. Then [Loaded] is just for us when we’re teaming, that’s The Hardy Boyz music.
“That made it so much better, Sting and Darby Allin going out there before me was another swerve, made people go ‘wait a minute, he’s not going to be here tonight… oh shoot.’ But then the payoff was incredible and the music made it so good. I just wish I could’ve enjoyed it more because it was a run and save but it’s all good, I’ve got plenty more entrances to come so I can actually absorb all that energy from people being happy to see me.”
Jeff debuted by doing his signature juke on the entrance ramp before sprinting down to the ring to assist his brother, who was being beaten down by HFO in the ring. The moment was made fun of because Jeff was slow to get to the ring to assist his brother, and Matt revealed that it was his suggestion to have Jeff do so.
“Doing the juke on the run, I think that was a compromise,” Matt said. “I was like sure, I know I’m getting beat down, I just want all the guys to even stop. The music is going to be such a big moment, the people are going to be shocked, out of their minds.
“I want you to come out, do the juke, you’re a big star, do your thing, and get a full entrance. They stayed on top of me, they were still whooping my ass and he came to the ring. You saw the memes that had been out there and very entertaining and I love it. It wasn’t on him, if it was up to him he’d have just run straight in. This was on me, he’s a big star dammit, he’s going to get a big star entrance.”
