Jeffrey Nero Hardy (born August 31, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, singer-songwriter, painter and musician. He is currently signed to Ring of Honor (ROH), where he is one-half of the ROH World Tag Team Champions in his first reign. He is also best known for his work in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), later renamed to World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
Before gaining prominence in WWE, Hardy performed for the Organization of Modern Extreme Grappling Arts (OMEGA), a promotion he ran with his brother Matt. After being signed by WWE, the brothers worked as jobbers, before gaining notoriety in the tag team division, partly due to their participation in Tables, Ladders, and Chairs matches. With the addition of Lita, the team became known as Team Xtreme and continued to rise in popularity. As a tag team wrestler, Hardy is an ten-time world tag team champion (six World Tag Team Championships, one WCW Tag Team Championship, two TNA World Tag Team Championships and one ROH World Tag Team Championship) – all with his brother Matt. On the independent circuit, Jeff is also currently one-half of the OMEGA Tag Team Champions with Matt their second reign, and one-half of the Wrestling Superstar Tag Team Champions with Matt in their first reign.
