A longtime AEW star and wrestling legend has a contract coming up soon.

Fightful has learned that former WWE, WCW, TNA, ROH world tag team champion Matt Hardy’s current contract with AEW is set to expire in March. Hardy was brought in March 2020, where he was signed to a contract. Originally we were told that Jeff Hardy’s AEW deal was set to match up to Matt’s deal as far as length, but injuries and inactivity led to that no longer being the case and there’s time added to the deal.

We’ve heard that Hardy and AEW were in contact recently about the deal, but we haven’t heard if it’s expected to be extended.

The 49-year old Hardy has only been booked in one match so far in 2024, but wrestled regularly in 2023, having over 40 matches in and out of AEW. This marks 30 straight years that Hardy has wrestled on TV, as he competed against Undertaker, IRS, Owen Hart, Crush, Razor Ramon and Nikolai Volkoff back in 1994.

Matt's run just couldn't gain any traction. He showed up to an empty arena during covid, got injured a couple of times in his early feud with Sammy, and of course the issues with Jeff once they became a team kind of derailed those plans. Maybe they can use him behind the scenes in a creative role.

I wish Jeff would be allowed out of his contract so the Hardys can go into the WWE hall of fame. I know Jeff's last run didn't end well but their impact on the business and WWE in particular was immense.
