Ladies and gentlemen, grab your popcorn and settle in because the wrestling world’s favorite brothers are making headlines again, and this time, it’s a real family drama! While Matt Hardy has been resurrecting his “Broken” persona over at TNA—surprising fans and foes alike at the Rebellion event—his brother, Jeff Hardy, seems to be on a contractual tightrope with AEW.
Here’s the scoop: Matt Hardy, the elder of the enigmatic duo, let his AEW contract run out like a pro wrestling contract in a ladder match—grab it or lose it! He chose the latter, diving back into TNA’s waters without a lifejacket, i.e., without signing a new deal. Meanwhile, Jeff, the “Charismatic Enigma,” might just be performing his final acts in AEW’s ring. According to the ringside reporters at Fightful Select, Jeff’s been whispering sweet nothings about his contract expiring this spring.
Now, folks, there was a glimmer of hope that AEW would keep Jeff around a bit longer, extending his contract to cover for injury time-outs and other hiatuses. But as of late March, that hope was looking thinner than a referee’s patience in a no-disqualification match. With the Hardy brothers possibly reuniting under the TNA banner, it’s like a nostalgia act for wrestling fans who remember their high-flying antics and table-smashing days from the early 2000s.
Jeff Hardy, who famously said “no thanks” to a WWE Hall of Fame spot to team up with Matt in AEW, has had his share of setbacks. A DUI arrest threw a wrench into their tag team championship dreams last summer, leaving their AEW storyline hanging like a wrestler on the ropes.
As of now, the Hardy brothers are wrestling their own fates. Matt’s dipping his toes back in TNA’s unpredictable waters, and Jeff might just follow, bringing full circle a tag team saga that has captivated fans for decades. Could we be seeing the Hardy Boyz reunion tour in TNA? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure—it’s going to be an absolutely thrilling ride!
