Matt Hardy Remains A Free Agent Despite TNA Return
Matt Hardy has confirmed that he is still a free agent despite his return to TNA.
The company had been teasing the reveal of a 'lights out mystery' over the past few weeks. The secret was finally unveiled at Saturday's Rebellion PPV event.
Moose defeated Nic Nemeth to retain the TNA World Title in the main event of the show. The lights went out after the bout and Broken Matt Hardy made his surprise return to the promotion. He delivered a Twist of Fate to the World Champion and the PPV ended with Hardy holding the title.
After the PPV event, the wrestling veteran shared an interesting 'Matt Fact' graphic reading that he is in no rush to sign a new contract. In response to a fan, Hardy further confirmed that he remains a free agent despite his return:
Matt Hardy had seemingly been unhappy with his position on the AEW card for a while and he even spoke up about things such as backstage issues hurting the goodwill of the company.
The Attitude Era star made some headlines again when he attended a pre-WrestleMania Raw last month. When the news of his AEW contract expiring came to light, many believed that he was on his way back to the TKO-owned promotion.
The wrestling veteran, however, has since confirmed that he is still in talks with Tony Khan's promotion in addition to weighing his options elsewhere.
If the latest development is any indication, Matt Hardy seems to be looking for creative satisfaction more than anything else at this juncture of his career.
The TNA appearance seems to be the start of a program. It won't be a surprise if Hardy stretches his free agency further and we don't hear news about him finding a new long-term home anytime soon.
