Major update on Matt Hardy's contract status with AEW - Reports
It looks like Matt Hardy will remain with AEW for the foreseeable future as he recently inked a contract extension with the promotion.
As per a report by Fightful Select, after being under the banner of AEW for the last two years, the two sides have agreed to extend Matt's contract.
Furthermore, it was also noted that the WWE legend's deal now matches that of his brother, Jeff, who debuted on AEW Dynamite this week.
Fightful also reported that Matt has been very "helpful" during his tenure in the company, which is why Tony Khan chose to extend his deal. Hardy himself confirmed the news during his Twitch stream.
He added that the promotion had matched his and Jeff's deal, and they would also be permitted to make outside appearances.
“I’ve extended my contract with AEW, I’m going to be there a little bit longer. They matched myself and Jeff up, which was very cool. We can still do outside appearances,” said Matt Hardy.
