Matt Hardy, the eldest of the Hardy brothers, has been in AEW since 2020, but his adventure came to an end after he decided not to renew his contract with the promotion. Matt Hardy has been in AEW since the spring of 2020, and the Hardy Boyz’s last match was on the January 3 episode of AEW Rampage where they teamed with Mark Briscoe against Kip Sabian, The Butcher & The Blade.

But what’s next for them? There have been several reports of an imminent return to the WWE. Hardy even attended an episode of RAW and has constantly been teasing fans on social media as well. Just like today, as he hinted at his return with another WWE throwback video featuring ‘The Game’.

Taking to his X account, Matt Hardy shared a clip from his early days in the WWE. It featured the match between Jeff Hardy and Triple H for the Intercontinental Championship, as the elder Hardy helped his younger brother win the title from Triple H. In the caption to the post, Hardy wrote, “23 years ago today, says the ‘net… #JeffHardy #HHH #MattHardy #ICtitle #TimWhite”. But what’s most interesting in the timeline that Matt Hardy is following here.

On the road to WrestleMania XL, Hardy started uploading clips of his performances at the Grandest Stage of Them All. And now that the WWE has finally concluded WrestleMania, the former AEW star is uploading clips of himself from the blue brand. Since the aforementioned match was a part of the April 12, 2001 episode of SmackDown. This is surely not just a coincidence. Maybe the Hardys are coming back, but the Broken One is waiting for the return of his brother Jeff Hardy from his injury troubles. Nevertheless, a hopeful update emerged on that front courtesy of his brother.

Update on Jeff Hardy’s injury

The Charismatic Enigma suffered a broken nose while taping an episode of All Elite Wrestling’s Friday show AEW Rampage. The youngest of the Hardy brothers, on that occasion, faced Sammy Guevara in a No Disqualification Match full of action and dangerous spots. Guevara himself, performing a spectacular aerial maneuver, landed badly on Jeff’s face, breaking his nose.

Matt Hardy, during an episode of ‘The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy’ podcast, provided updates on Jeff Hardy’s condition. He revealed that Jeff Hardy’s nose was broken and that there were a couple of minor fractures. The doctors are doing tests to see how the sinuses are doing. However, it looks like it’s not going to be a quick process for the Charismatic Enigma. And that’s fine since, according to Matt Hardy, these things have to be dealt with slowly. And they are trying to put the daredevil’s health before everything else.

Well, it looks like we’ll have to wait for the return of the Charismatic Enigma to see if Hardys returns to the company for a possible last run. What do you think? Should they make a return? Let us know in the comments.
