Matt Hardy drops another hint at Jeff Hardy's AEW arrival; plants seeds for The Hardy Boyz' feud against top tag team
On the latest episode of Being The Elite, The Young Bucks and Matt Hardy again fueled rumors of Jeff Hardy potentially signing with AEW. The Charismatic Enigma's 90-day non-compete clause is supposedly up on March 9, which is only a few days away.
On Being the Elite a few weeks ago, Nick and Matt Jackson re-enacted the events that led to Jeff's WWE release in December 2021. The Young Bucks accosted Matt Hardy for his "erratic behavior", which is precisely how Jeff's demeanor was described in his fallout with WWE management.
Afterward, The Bucks offered Matt an induction into the currently-nonexistent AEW Hall of Fame. It was another dig at WWE, who offered The Legend Thriller a place in their own Hall of Fame if he returned to the company.
This week, the two EVPs continued their storyline by offering Matt another Hall of Fame entry - this time for Ring of Honor. Big Money Matt once again denied the offer and reminded The Bucks of the time The Hardy Boyz dethroned them as ROH World Tag Team Champions:
"Speaking of Ring of Honor, now that you're the proud new owners, you know what my favorite Ring of Honor moment was? When I showed up with a partner (Jeff Hardy) and we defeated you during Expedition of Gold and became the Ring of Honor World Tag Team Champions," said Matt.
