From Prowrestling.net:
Jeff Hardy is being advertised for the June 20 house show in Las Cruces, N.M. He is scheduled to face Lance Cade in a singles match. [Thanks to Devin Cutting of ProwrestlingEvents.tk.]
Powell's POV: This is the first time I've seen Hardy advertised for a show since he was suspended for 60 days back on March 10, but it's possible he'll return before this date. This is a new listing because Chris Jericho is advertised as the Intercontinental Champion. Jericho beat Hardy for that title on the night that WWE issued the suspension.
I'm a bit surprised that he'll be back this soon since the impression I got was that he was pretty beat up and wanted to take a long hiatus. This does answer the question of what they'll do with him when he gets back. He's too over to job out and too unreliable to push, so its back to the midcard. Probably the smartest thing to do in that situation.

Wait, does the 'E even release undercard matches for house shows? The best we usually get it maybe a main event or at least a list of people who (may or may not) be at the show.
Announcing Hardy vs. Cade is just..........odd.

If I remember correctly, they had actually been advertising this match for a post-mania house show for the IC title before Jeff got suspended.

I thought maybe he'll just do house shows and not appear on TV for the rest of the suspension?
Also, was he advertised before or after getting suspended?

Well he's unreliable as of now and doesn't have a famous father/friend in HHH, so yeah...midcard.

He got struck with Lance Cade disease.
When he comes back he and Hacksaw will be on Heat duties online losing to anyone.

He's fallen a long way down the totem pole. From Randy Orton to Lance Cade . . . ouch.

Nuh-uh. De-push for Jeff. And good. At two strikes, he's not worth the risk to push as a top guy.

Lance Cade is more reliable than Jeff Hardy

If, and when, Jeff Hardy comes back, he's going to be fighting in the midcards again. Which is sad because he was getting the biggest push of his career, and was poised to win Money in the Bank. He did a stupid thing by getting caught with drugs (who I assume he bought from RVD) and ruined his push. For now, he'll still have a job with the WWE. But, after no-showing years ago, and now being busted for drugs, there is no way a push is going to happen.

I'm still a little pissed that a good oppurtunity was wasted to freshen up the main-event scene with Jeff Hardy's presence. He's only got himself to blame though.

Combination of both, I think. I would never say never on him getting pushed again, as a combination of top guys going down to injury and good behavior on his part could lead to a push several months down the line (see Orton, Randy). I wouldn't be holding my breath for it any time soon, though.

I see your Eddie Guerrero, agree with it, and raise you a Randall K. Orton.

I can see a storyline between Cade and Jeff, I dont want to see it but, Jeff brought this upon himself. Cade seems to be turning on Murdoch, Jeff will get involved somehow
