WWE rarely goes out of the way to mention anything related to AEW in their programming. However, one of the latter company’s prominent names, Matt Hardy, earned a shout-out on commentary during this week’s Raw. Not only that but one-half of The Hardy Boyz was in attendance for the show. Hardy’s wife, Reby, posted a clip on Instagram in which she and Matt were enjoying Raw from a reserved box.
Hardy’s surprise appearance sparked rumors of his potential link-up with WWE officials. However, as per Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select, the married couple, who were an hour’s length away from the PNC Arena, attended Raw after Reby’s friend invited them to have a seat in her suite. But as far as Matt having a word with WWE higher-ups was concerned, it simply didn’t happen.
Matt Hardy is still contracted with AEW, at least through March. Earlier this month, The Sensai of Mattitude revealed that his ongoing deal with AEW will be up this month. He did not divulge a particular date. However, in the aforementioned report from Fightful, Sapp affirmed that both Hardy and AEW have had talks about the renewal of the 49-year-old’s contract.
The Angelic Diablo debuted in All Elite Wrestling almost three years ago. Right before that, he was relegated to his career’s nadir in WWE. The way the Hardys returned at WrestleMania 33 brought out a 10-year-old in even grown men at the Camping World Stadium in 2017.
However, Matt and Jeff’s exit was nothing more than a sad state of affairs. While the older brother quit the company in the early part of 2020, the younger one declined rehab following a sluggish outing during a live event. That eventually led to his release in late 2021.
Matt Hardy has high hopes for Mercedes Mone’s AEW venture
Hardy smells greatness in Mone. This past week at AEW Big Business, the former Sasha Banks made her AEW debut. She opened the show, and it was truly wise of Tony Khan to let Mercedes get things underway.
Her segment was the high point of the entire night, as it clocked in over a million viewers. Following Mone’s triumphant arrival, Matt Hardy spoke highly of her.
During his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Big Money Matt did all the lauding for The CEO. He underscored how big of a star she was in WWE.
Mercedes is gonna be bringing a lot of star power. She was a big star on WWE TV, which is a big deal. If you’ve been a big star in WWE TV, that gives you lots of equity.Matt Hardy on Mercedes Mone
The Boss is already the talk of the town. No wonder why she’s allegedly the highest-paid women’s wrestler in history. It would be interesting to see how much of an impact she could have on AEW.
