Now, as far as we know, Hardy is a free agent, unless he has already signed with the Stamford-based company. Regardless of the situation backstage, there are no public announcements regarding Matt Hardy’s WWE return.

However, the wrestling legend is not backing off from teasing a potential appearance at WrestleMania XL. For the past several days, he has been uploading posts on social media that suggest an imminent return to his former workplace.

In 2017, The Hardy Boyz returned to WWE at WrestleMania. This is when the brothers also won the Raw Tag Team Championship during the Fatal 4 Way ladder match. It seems like Matt Hardy hasn’t moved on from his days in the leading wrestling promotion yet.

On Instagram, the older Hardy brother posted a video clip from 7 years ago. The WrestleMania 33 clip showed the siblings returning to WWE. It was their first WrestleMania following the return, and they were able to bag the victory.

So far, we are not sure whether the legends or even one of them will appear at the biggest WrestleMania ever. However, there have been more hints like this suggesting something in that direction.

Recently, the 49-year-old even sat down in an interview with Chris Van Vliet and gave us a glimpse of what he expects from his future in the pro wrestling industry.
