Matt Hardy is still a free agent and he said on his podcast that he’s figuring out what to do next. Hardy has been complimentary towards AEW and said he loves working for Tony Khan but WWE seems to be something he’s considering. There’s no word on if WWE has offered a deal to return but Booker T would love to see him back.
While speaking on the “Hall of Fame” podcast, Booker T said he would like to see Matt Hardy back in WWE. He would also like to see Jeff return too.
“I would love to see him back in WWE,” Booker said. “I’d love to see Jeff back in WWE. I want to see both those guys go into the WWE Hall of Fame. They deserve it. They really do. The body of work those guys put in, the legendary matches those guys had with teams like The Dudleys, I want to see those guys take their rightful place one day, so maybe this is the beginning. Maybe this is the spark. I haven’t seen Jeff on AEW doing anything in quite some time, so he may be a free agent too for all I know.”
“For Matt and Jeff, I think it’s hard to hang the boots up just yet. They’re still like, we got something left in the tank. We’re not ready to just take a back seat. I think Matt and Jeff could have had jobs with WWE, at least the latter regime, they could have had jobs with WWE perhaps forever.”
Jeff has more time left on his AEW deal. As for Matt, he could pop up anywhere at any time. A return to AEW is not out of the question.
