Matt Hardy's AEW Deal Nearing Expiration Date
AEW has lost a few people in recent memory, but they are also picking up a few stars as well. It seems that Matt Hardy's time in AEW may be numbered at this point, as his deal is set to expire this month.
Matt Hardy recently made headlines when he showed his displeasure about how Sammy Guevara injured Jeff Hardy during their match on Rampage. Now, Matt's contract is set to run out long before Jeff's.
Sean Ross Sapp revealed on Fightful Select that Matt Hardy's current contract with AEW is due to expire in March.
Initially signed in March 2020, Hardy's deal was originally intended to align with his brother Jeff Hardy's contract length. However, due to various factors such as injuries and inactivity, adjustments were made, resulting in an extension of Matt's contract duration.
It was noted that there have been discussions between the two sides about a new deal. At this time, it is unclear how far along those talks are, and how likely it is that a deal will be arranged.
Despite his lengthy tenure in the wrestling industry, the 49-year-old Hardy has seen limited in-ring action in 2024, with only one match under his belt thus far. However, his involvement in 2023 was more consistent, with over 40 matches both in and out of AEW.
Hardy's wrestling career spans three decades, dating back to his matches against notable opponents such as Undertaker, IRS, and Razor Ramon in 1994. We will have to see what he does next, but his days in the Land of All Elite may be numbered.
