Contract Set To Expire For AEW Star In Two Weeks

It’s a new season in AEW and some big names are expected to start with the company in the coming weeks. There are also some contracts expiring this year, including one for one of their veteran wrestlers.

It was reported today on Fightful Select that the contract for former WWE, TNA, ROH star Matt Hardy will expire soon. Hardy signed with the company in March of 2020 so the expiration date lines up with that. No deal has been agreed to but both sides were said to be in contact about the deal.

As for his brother Jeff, he has more time on his deal and because of injuries and personal issues he’s had to work on, the belief is that time was added to his deal .In January, Matt said that he believed that he and Jeff were headed in a new direction. Matt said the following on his podcast:

“I do think the Hardys are heading in a new direction and I think it is really unique for Jeff because I think you’re gonna see Jeff talk about and go into a territory that he’s never really explored before, and I think that’s gonna be really interesting, really intriguing, really good, entertaining TV.”

“Every time we do a ComiCon, anytime we do any public signing, we sign for seven hours. Every three or four people that come through, someone is gonna say, ‘You are my childhood. Oh my God, thank you for making my childhood great. You are living legends and you’re still killing it.’ You know, we hear that so much, so I think we’ve just decided to apply that to the new direction where we are taking our characters in. The best thing is, when the die hard fans who claim or feel they’re the smartest, and they get the ins and outs of the business, or they know what’s going on more than anybody else does, or they have the correct idea, ‘This is how the creative should go. Tony Khan should book it this way’, Triple H should book it this way or whatever’, those guys, when they react to stuff and also it gets underneath their skin, that still lets you know you can still do your job, you can play a role, and you can still even get the smartest of the smart fans, especially the ones who believe they’re the smartest of the smart.”

Jeff is out of action right now after suffering a concussion during a match on Rampage with Sammy Guevara.
