You've probably read all the rumors that a WWE legend is heading to AEW sooner rather than later. Not only that, but he could end up instantly becoming the leader of a rising faction in the company - The Dark Order.
That's right, we're talking about Matt Hardy. He's been on a losing streak on RAW and he's been the first to acknowledge that. On the latest episode of RAW before the Royal Rumble 2020, Matt Hardy faced Rowan and was unsurprisingly squashed.
Hardy declared it as a slump and said that at this rate, he isn't going to be around for much longer - almost confirming his expected departure in early March.
He had teased crossing paths with The Young Bucks again on Twitter when he posted this:
Unfortunately, Hardy's time to leave has come. There's no place for him to be featured as a regular top performer and with Jeff Hardy catching up on injuries these past few years, there hasn't been much left for him to do.
Many believe that a jump to AEW is the right move and we tend to agree with that sentiment. He will undoubtedly be utilized better and if he is the leader of The Dark Order, it will give the faction much-needed momentum.
