Pretty sure you're dillusional on both accounts. No it's not because he's in TNA. He's a screw up, plain and simple. There's already been rumors of him being messed up before PPV's since he's been back. Not to mention all of the countless times before. And also, I don't think he'll ever be back in WWE. I don't care how much he draws, he's not worth the risk. He has a hard enough time handling the easier TNA schedule as it is. Now if he rights his ways, which I hope he does, I will gladly eat crow. I have no problem doing that if it means someone not screwing their life up anymore. But I still don't think WWE takes that chance on him again. At least not for a long time.
As for him being the next Champion. Of course it's gonna happen eventually. He's one of the biggest draws they have. But I don't think they should give it to him right away. The chase is always better than the achievement. I'd say wait for the next PPV or even the one after that. Build up Robert Roode a little more. Unless it goes downhill from here though, cuz since his win it seems to me his reign has gotten progressively more boring.

Erm, are you sure about that? i think you may be wrong there. As i'm pretty certain i've not seen any reports of him being "messed up" since his return.
Anyway, for myself. i agree wholeheartedly when sweep says to keep him away from winning the title. he should always be chasing it in my eyes too. as that's when he has been at his best, and most valuable in the past. and its far too early anyway. But, sadly this is tna. and unless bruce pritchard really is the catalyst for change, and sane booking. tna will have the title back with jeff hardy before you can say swanton.
I can just see the eruption of venom, being spewed in jeff and tna's direction on here and various other places. if tna just hotshot the title onto him, and end up burying roode's push in the process. and i cant say id really blame anyone. as it would just be ridiculous.
tna have a real opportunity of making some great wrestling storytelling. With two face main event contenders in hardy and storm, chasing the ever improving heel that is roode. that, with some simple booking could take you through to a good blowoff at the next bound for glory. at some point during the year, hardy will probably have to get the win. because like it or not, he is still the top guy. but you have him screwed out of it the next week/ppv. that's how to best use him in accordance with his fanbase id say.
As many have stated, even though i feel this time may be different. sadly, the odds are on jeff fucking up once again. and until he can turn the majority of the naysayers into believers, he's never going to get the popular vote from the iwc.(if he ever does.) Jeff will be constantly criticised whatever he does. And will also, be written off as the no good junkie who pisses everything up against the wall. so, if he truly has changed his ways. its going to be a hard long road back for him. it doesnt feel like he's gone far enough down that road yet, to truly warrant the full redemption storyline.(bells, whistles, confetti and title included. no doubt with dose of thumbs up, and a rabble rousing speech from bad actress dixie.)
