Matt Hardy’s AEW Contract Expiring Soon

A prominent figure in AEW and a revered wrestling icon is approaching the end of his contract.

According to sources at Fightful Select, Matt Hardy, a former WWE, WCW, TNA, and ROH world tag team champion, is nearing the expiration of his current contract with AEW, set to end in March.

Hardy joined AEW in March 2020 under a contractual agreement. Initially, it was anticipated that Jeff Hardy’s AEW contract would align in duration with Matt’s, but due to various factors including injuries and periods of inactivity, this synchronization did not materialize, resulting in an extension of Matt’s contract.

Recent communications between Hardy and AEW management have been reported, though details regarding a potential contract extension remain undisclosed.

At 49 years old, Hardy has participated in only one match thus far in 2024, contrasting with his active wrestling schedule in 2023, during which he engaged in over 40 matches both within and outside AEW. Remarkably, this year marks three decades since Hardy first graced the television screens as a wrestler, debuting in 1994 against notable opponents such as Undertaker, IRS, Owen Hart, Crush, Razor Ramon, and Nikolai Volkoff.
