Another point being raised is that Hardy would have to sign off on a storyline that used his past as fodder.
There is precisely ONE PERSON who gets to decide whether or not Jeff Hardy's past can/should be used in a storyline: JEFF HARDY. If he's good with it, it's nobody else's business. PERIOD. #SmackDown #SmackDownOnFox

While some understand he had to sign off, that doesn't mean it's in good taste.
Obviously Jeff had to be ok with this, but it's still in very bad taste. #SmackDown

Others are hoping it was his idea, but even if it was, it's not winning anyone over just yet.
I’m not a fan of using Jeff Hardy this way. I really hope it was his idea at least but even so I’ve seen too much of the addiction trauma to find it entertaining personally #Smackdown

One fan was hoping to see Jeff become the Intercontinental Champion, and now that doesn't look like it's going to happen.
The fact that I wanted Jeff to win the IC title and wwe had to go and kick him out with this alcohol storyline. Sad. #SmackDown
