Matt Hardy talks about allegations against Vince McMahon
Matt Hardy has had multiple stints in WWE during his career. Hence, he has worked closely with the company's former chairman, Vince McMahon. The AEW star recently discussed the latest allegations against McMahon.
On an episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the former WWE United States Champion mentioned that the recent lawsuit against McMahon could "tarnish his legacy" and damage WWE's business:
"Obviously shocking, sad to hear. After working with Vince [McMahon] for so long, you'd want to think that, you know, when he's ready to wind down his career and eventually retire, hopefully, he ends up going out on a good note and is appreciated. But, I feel like this was just the opposite, worst-case scenario (...) If - once again, these things are all alleged, but when he has his day in court, depending on how things turn out, this can really, really tarnish his legacy and be damaging overall to WWE," said Hardy.

It will be interesting to see if Hardy will compete at one final WrestleMania before eventually hanging up his wrestling boots.
