#5 Matt Hardy quits WWE

There had been a lot of buzz as of late surrounding the future of Matt Hardy once his WWE contract expired on March 1, 2020. The former ECW Champion who returned to the company at WrestleMania in 2017 to an uproarious welcome from the fans has decided to leave the company yet again.

Matt Hardy had expressed his frustrations with the company and reports had suggested that Hardy is AEW bound once his contract expires. However, WWE made multiple efforts to keep Matt Hardy with the company including offering him to join NXT.

Here is the reason Matt Hardy gave for leaving the company in a YouTube video he uploaded:

The reason I needed to leave WWE was because, when it comes to my creative stance, and my creative outlook on myself and my career and how I want it to go for these last 3 or 4 years that I have to spend as an active in-ring competitor. I just think myself and WWE are on different pages.

The former 11-time Tag Team Champion is one of the most brilliant minds in the world of pro-wrestling, and it'll be interesting to see what career path he takes now.
