Below are a couple of top AEW news stories of the day, involving Sting and Matt Hardy.
• After retiring as champion, Sting wrote the following on X:
“I had hoped AEW Revolution would be a memorable night for the fans, but it was a night that I personally will never forget.
Thank you to all the wrestlers. Thank you to all the AEW staff. Thank you to Greensboro. And thank you to the fans, one and all!”
Sting also shared the following photos:
• According to Fightful Select, Matt Hardy’s AEW contract is set to expire in 2 weeks. He signed with the company in March 2020.
Jeff Hardy still has time left on his contract because of injuries and other issues. Jeff is currently injured after his match against Sammy Guevara.
On his podcast, Matt said the following about the direction of The Hardys in All Elite Wrestling:
“I do think The Hardys are heading in a new direction and I think it is really unique for Jeff because I think you’re gonna see Jeff talk about and go into a territory that he’s never really explored before, and I think that’s gonna be really interesting, really intriguing, really good, entertaining TV.
Every time we do a Comic Con, anytime we do any public signing, we sign for 7 hours. Every three or four people that come through, someone is gonna say, ‘You are my childhood. Oh my God, thank you for making my childhood great. You are living legends and you’re still killing it’.
You know, we hear that so much, so I think we’ve just decided to apply that to the new direction where we are taking our characters in.
The best thing is, when the die hard fans who claim or feel they’re the smartest, and they get the ins and outs of the business, or they know what’s going on more than anybody else does, or they have the correct idea, ‘This is how the creative should go. Tony Khan should book it this way’, Triple H should book it this way or whatever, those guys, when they react to stuff and also it gets underneath their skin, that still lets you know you can still do your job, you can play a role, and you can still even get the smartest of the smart fans, especially the ones who believe they’re the smartest of the smart.”
