Despite the noticeable improvements in WWE under Triple H, a certain major AEW star is definitely not going to jump ship, according to Matt Hardy.
MJF has consistently put on incredible performances in All Elite Wrestling. While he is quite adept inside the ring, it's his promo skills that have garnered the attention of pro-wrestling fans worldwide and gained him a dedicated fanbase. He walks a thin line between kayfabe and reality, portraying a heel persona while almost never breaking character.
MJF has had his share of shaky situations with Tony Khan's brand. The Salt of the Earth is often seen speaking about the end of his contract in 2024, after which he will apparently be open to jumping ship to WWE.
However, Matt Hardy believes that the Long-island native is simply playing his heel character. On the latest episode "Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy" podcast, the veteran complimented the rising star:
"It's very interesting, especially where the pay-per-view is located in Newark, not too far from his [MJF] home base. He's been doing great work. He is an extremely talented young man and he is a guy that is going to be the future of AEW for a long time. Even as much as he jokes around, 'My contract is coming up and they want me up north brother’, I think he's going to be the face of AEW for a very long time." (H/T: WrestlingNews)
It remains to be seen if Matt Hardy's words prove to be true in the future.
