#5 Original plans for Matt Hardy to lead a stable in NXT

Iconic 11-time Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy finally bid adieu to WWE after having returned in 2017. Hardy's contract came to an end this month and the veteran chose not to re-sign with the company.

Hardy has teased joining AEW while suggesting that he has been in talks with multiple other companies as well. Interestingly, WWE had apparently given Hardy the option of joining NXT in order to prevent him from leaving.

While speaking to PWInsider, Matt Hardy revealed that WWE had plans for him to lead a faction based on his 'Broken' character. Hardy had shot to fame thanks to his bizarre 'Broken' gimmick during his time in Impact Wrestling but unfortunately, WWE could not make use of this gimmick once he made his return to WWE.

There have been rumors suggesting that Matt Hardy will be joining the Dark Order faction in AEW so it is quite possible that WWE wanted him to create his own new stable in NXT.
