AEW makes major announcement on Jeff Hardy

AEW has just announced Jeff Hardy's next match, and this will be taking place during this week's episode of Rampage. The match will be against former TNT Champion Darby Allin.

Hardy has just started the new year on a good note, with a trios win two weeks ago alongside his brother Matt Hardy and Mark Briscoe. They did not have the best win-loss record in 2023, but they look to turn things around this year.

Coincidentally, the Charismatic Enigma's last singles match was against Allin as well, taking place back in May 2022 in an Anything Goes match. Jeff Hardy ended up winning this last match.

Darby Allin, on the other hand, has been having a great run in the tag team division, as he and Sting have yet to lose a match alongside each other. His singles run has also not been the best after he was decimated by Konosuke Takeshita in their last match.

He believes readers deserve authentic and unique content and aims to report in a manner which pro wrestling fans can easily relate to.

Growing up, Enzo admired former world champions like AJ Styles, Will Ospreay, Bryan Danielson, Triple H, and Randy Orton for their finishing moves. As an adult, he started to appreciate their character work, as they juggled between heel and babyface gimmicks.

If allowed to produce one final storyline involving his idols, he would have Orton lock horns with John Cena, would be their one last big feud as both of them seem to be approaching the tail end of their careers.

Other than pro wrestling, Enzo enjoys keeping up with Basketball, Football, and Formula One. He also loves watching films, playing video games, and listening to music.
