* Internet fans are trying to push through a fan-made rumor that both Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy will be joining the WWE in February.
The WWE has shown interest in re-signing Jeff Hardy since before he joined TNA Wrestling. But when the news that Jeff's TNA contract was coming to an end, the WWE quietened their interests. This could be a sign that the WWE are trying to reach a deal. However, Hulk Hogan has been pressuring TNA management into doing all they can to keep Jeff around. Jeff himself has refused to comment on his future plans, deliberatly suggesting that he has no personal plans or even preferences.
But the chances of WWE hiring Matt again are really low. In 2010, Matt Hardy started displaying destructive behaviour in order to get his release from his WWE contract so that he may sign with TNA. In addition to allowing himself to get out shape, Matt started putting in less effort in matches and intentionally arrived late to shows. He started posting videos and messages on social networking websites detailing how unhappy "everyone" is, and publicly announcing his plans to join TNA before leaving WWE. He even posted a video online of Rey Mysterio with his mask removed. Matt even violated the 90-day no-compete clause in his contract by signing with TNA too early. But the WWE were so unhappy with him that they never pursued the issue. Since then, Matt was sensationally fired from TNA after posting a string of disturbing videos online, and repeated being arrested while driving under the influence. Matt also failed to complete WWE-sponsored rehab.
It is possible that Jeff Hardy may return. But do not expect Jeff to have so much leverage that he could potentially get Matt re-hired too.
* Fans are also insisting that the annual Summerslam pay-per-view will be replaced with a show called 'No Tolerance'.
The WWE considers Summerslam to be one of their biggest two events (with WrestleMania being the other). Even though Summerslam has been doing relatively poorly, there were never any plans to replace the annual pay-per-view. And with this year's show being a particular success, there definitely will be a Summerslam in 2013.
The WWE had seriously talked about having a PPV called 'No Tolerance'. The name was even suggested for spin-off video game that never went into production.
