Matt Hardy is having a great run in the AEW right now. However, his contract is expiring this March. The elder half of The Hardy Boyz has been out of action for some time. However, his contract as an All Elite Superstar is nearing its expiration as well. Given his stardom and his ever-increasing popularity, this makes him a catch for every pro wrestling company.

Matt Hardy has lent his creative genius to several pro wrestling outfits throughout his storied career. This makes his next move highly unpredictable for the fans. Especially when they have seen how ‘Broken Matt’ keeps surprising them. Interestingly, he recently teased wrestling fans with a contract update, which made the WWE Universe erupt with comeback calls.

Speaking about his AEW contract, Matt Hardy said, “There is a little news to go along with my contract negotiations. I have an AEW contract sitting in front of me for a few years and now I’m looking through it. I’m like deciding what I want to do going forward.” This showcases that Hardy has not signed from his end despite having the choice to do so for years.

Matt Hardy further said, “I know that I only have a couple more years left in doing this and I want to make the most out of those years whatever it may be. I want to be optimized in whatever I am doing. So that’s very important to me. So I’m very happy to be invited to return to AEW and work for AEW for the foreseeable future.” Thus, while Hardy is thankful for AEW’s offer, the option doesn’t carry much weight for him to immediately side with AEW for his final run.

Matt Hardy also said that he is considering several important things like his schedule since he wants ample family time. He also said that he wants what is best for the Hardy Legacy. 

Moreover, he noted that it is important that he continues to work alongside his brother Jeff. He and his wife were also spotted a week ago in Monday Night Raw. This was enough to send almost the entire WWE Universe to welcome The Hardy Boyz back.
