WWE wouldn't have him. Two strikes, can't travel abroad, way too much of a liability for modern WWE.
Even so, the point being made is that he's a) got two strikes and would have to do the Orton thing to get rid of them and b) isn't allowed to travel overseas to their UK shows. Seeing as WWE currently has a lot of available talent that don't fit those criteria, paying Hardy doesn't make a whole lot of sense from a business standpoint.Nah he's clean now and the fans love him
Really what would he do in WWE besides possibly take TV time away from a rising star like Barrett, The Wyatt family, or The Shield?
