During the last episode of WWE SmackDown, the show started with images that were not from the WWE Performance Center, as they have usually been shown in recent months. We saw how the police arrested Jeff Hardy and Elias was sent to the hospital by ambulance. However, at the end of the show Jeff Hardy returned to prevent Sheamus from winning the semifinals of the Intercontinental Title tournament. By the looks of it, Jeff Hardy was released from arrest and WWE announced that his release was granted because he passed all the police tests. The segment we saw caused a lot of controversy among fans on social media. This was because Jeff has suffered various cases of this type in his personal life. One of the faces of the WWE Backstage show, CM Punk, has commented on Jeff Hardy’s arrest segment. CM Punk gave his opinion through his personal account on the Twitter social network and commented the following:
