Joining the Hall of Fame is a dream for many superstars. It is thought of as the highest honor that a superstar can achieve in the industry. However, Jeff Hardy did not accept WWE's offer.
Soon after the company let him go, he was contacted again for a return. An added incentive for the return was given to him in the form of a Hall of Fame induction, which Hardy did not accept.
AEW superstar Matt Hardy revealed on Twitch that Jeff did not accept the induction because they did not want to induct his brother:
''Jeff asked ‘so you want to induct me into the Hall of Fame?’ And he said ‘Well, let me ask you, I know you guys have spoken with AEW. Is this going to be the Hardy Boyz? Is this myself and my brother Matt?’ And they go ‘Oh, no no, no, no. We can’t get Matt. He’s under contract at AEW. You know, it would just be you.’ And Jeff said ‘well, that’s a hard no','' said Matt.

Jeff Hardy's brother Matt Hardy added that his brother stood up for him and wanted to get inducted only as part of the Hardy Boyz team.
