The wrestling world is talking about Matt Hardy right now, as his WWE contract is set to expire on March 1st, and everyone’s waiting to see what Matt is going to do.
It’s been rumored that Matt Hardy could be making the jump to All Elite Wrestling, and former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas recently explained to Wrestling Inc. why he could see Matt leaving WWE for AEW.
“I could see Matt making the move [to AEW] because I could see him wanting to end his in-ring career on his terms. Let’s be honest, in WWE you don’t always get to end your career on your terms. I could see Matt wanting to go out and feel like he’s really contributing. Don’t get me wrong – his performance the last few weeks with Randy Orton – he has been more than contributing. But he believes he has more to offer and hopefully he can go there and have some of those guys listen to him. We talked about the tag issues so maybe he could lend his guidance and maybe they’ll listen to some of his stuff.”
Even though Matt consistently pushes himself to reach new heights from a creative standpoint, he never quite reached the same level that his brother Jeff did in WWE. Korderas talked about Matt’s relationship with Vince McMahon and he noted that Vince seemingly sees Jeff as the star of the duo.
“I don’t wanna speak for Vince, but it almost felt to me that Vince saw more of a shining star in Jeff than he did in Matt. Maybe that’s why… I don’t wanna say Matt was held back but he didn’t achieve as much as Jeff did. I think he saw more star power in Jeff.”
