Matt Hardy‘s contract with AEW came to a close, hours after WrestleMania XL ended. As of 10th April, when the clock struck midnight, Hardy became a free agent. There were several predictions in the wrestling world surrounding Matt’s potential return to WWE as his final in-ring run in the industry. He silenced all the speculations when he showed up at TNA Revolution 2024.

However, shortly after, the older Hardy brother revealed that he is still a free agent and has not signed an exclusivity deal at his former workplace. This still leaves him open for a possible WWE return and there are two major reasons behind it.

Matt Hardy’s fate may still be intertwined with WWE

Fans wish to see the wrestling legend back in WWE for his final run. Ever since Matt Hardy revealed that his in-ring journey is far from over, there have been various speculations of a WWE return. Fans hoped to see him and his younger brother interfere during the Six-Pack Ladder Match at WrestleMania XL but they were nowhere to be found. But not all hope is lost.

As Matt Hardy claimed, he is still a free agent. His TNA appearance isn’t exclusive to the promotion. Rather, Hardy is still free to join any other promotion he wishes to accept the offer from. This makes WWE a choice among many.

Secondly, Matt Hardy’s work in TNA can indirectly land him an appearance in the Stamford-based company. This is because both promotions sometimes have crossovers and work closely, being sincere about these partnerships. So, even if Hardy doesn’t sign with WWE, he may still appear regularly for a storyline before the leading wrestling promotion finally decides to hire him, based on the fan response.

But what could be this storyline that he will fit so perfectly in?

Matt Hardy already has a WWE storyline in progress

Matt Hardy was a part of Bray Wyatt’s creative ideas. His gimmick as The Broken One went hand-in-hand with the late wrestler, as they were once tag-team partners. Recently, Bo Dallas’ Uncle Howdy’s return rumors have been spiking. There have been several hints at the possibility that Matt Hardy could also return to reprise his old role and work alongside Uncle Howdy to wreak terror in WWE once again.

For this storyline, the legendary wrestler wouldn’t have to wait for his brother’s return, as his role in the storyline is already established and well-recognized.
