Former tag team champion and wrestling legend Matt Hardy could also leave WWE in 2020. It has been reported by Wrestling Observer Radio’s Dave Meltzer there is a possibility that the older Hardy could join AEW.
“There’s rumors about Matt Hardy. Again, his contract is up in a couple of months. I think that he’s doing Broken Matt Hardy segments so whether it’s Impact or Ring Of Honor or AEW…in that situation if you’re trying to be high profile then AEW is your best bet. I would think that he might end up there.”
