He said, “For some reason, I feel like we have an MJF/Swerve meeting for the title on the horizon, in the future. That’s what my gut tells me, but I don’t know.” However, talking about MJF’s health condition, he believes that tonight’s match is going to be interesting. “It would not surprise me if Samoa Joe did win, but nobody’s sure about the legitimacy of MJF’s health or where he’s at.”
Hardy further added, “It’s gonna be interesting.” The fight between Samoa Joe and MJF is scheduled for the Worlds End PPV. The event will be held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
One more thing that fans are eagerly waiting to see at the PPV is the identity reveal of the AEW’s Devil. While fans have their theories, Matt Hardy has called out who the Devil’s henchmen might be.

Hardy believes he knows who the Devil’s Henchmen are
On the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, we saw MJF defending the ROH Tag Team Championship titles all by himself against the Devil’s henchmen. While Somoa Joe could not come to help him, he later came out limping to help Friedman. However, things took a quick U-turn when Joe attacked MJF, leaving him severely injured. It was later revealed that Joe might be doing business with the Big Bad Wolf of AEW.

Hardy believes that he has some idea who the henchmen who attacked MJF could be. He said that his needle of suspicion was pointing at The Kingdom. The Kingdom is a new addition to AEW that consists of Matt Bennet and Matt Teven, along with Maria Kannelis as their manager. However, there is still some confusion as to how The Kingdom has a connection with The Devil. While Joe has teased his possible alliance with The Devil a few days ago, chances are that the big reveal might happen around the main event. Do you think The Devil might help Samoa Joe defeat MJF tonight?
