5 tag teams The Hardy Boyz can face in AEW

The possibility of Jeff Hardy joining his brother Matt in AEW grows stronger by the day. Speaking on his podcast, Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the leader of the AHFO revealed that his brother's non-compete clause from WWE, expires on March 9th. Once Jeff Hardy becomes a free agent, he could technically negotiate with whichever company he intends to work with.

The elder Hardy has expressed his desire to reunite The Hardy Boyz in the ring at least once before they wrap up their careers. Tony Khan's promotion would be the ideal place for that to occur. Here are the 5 tag teams that we'd like to see the Hardy Boyz challenge in AEW:

#5. AEW dream bout: The Hardy Boyz vs. Private Party

Matt Hardy is currently mentoring the young team of Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen, collectively known as Private Party. However, judging by Matt walking out on Kassidy in the middle of his match against the debuting Keith Lee, his patience is wearing thin.

In a previous interview with Sportskeeda Wrestling, Matt Hardy said that there were similarities between Private Party and the Hardy Boyz, praising their athleticism:

"I definitely see a lot of similarities in the two teams especially with those two guys so athletic and acrobatic and that's kind of like what they've built themselves around, as far as making a name for themselves," said Matt Hardy.

"And my job, when I've been with them as Big Money Matt, has been to teach them to be more aggressive, to be a more complete professional wrestler, a more complete tag team and they have really succeeded in that so when the time comes around for them to be pushed in a major position for the tag team titles." added Hardy.

This could be the perfect way to introduce Jeff into the fold and teach the young tag team a lesson. Private Party could also benefit from working opposite a more experienced duo who can guide them in multiple ways. It might help the young tandem have more screentime on Dynamite.

#4. AEW dream bout: The Hardy Boyz vs. ReDragon

AEW acquired one of the best tag teams in the world in ReDragon. Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly's signing feels like a coup for Tony Khan as they were previously stars on NXT as the Undisputed Era. Besides winning multiple tag team championships, they are also highly accomplished and can deliver great matches with just about anybody.

Matt Hardy even went on Twitter to shower praise on the duo upon their Dynamite debut, adding that he and Jeff Hardy always wanted to wrestle the ReDragon.

"Gotta be honest - It was great to hear the team name of "reDRagon" & the finisher "Chasing the Dragon" on #AEWDynamite tonight.. @theBobbyFish & @KORcombat are HUGE pickups for @AEW. It’s a team that @JEFFHARDYBRAND & I always wanted to wrestle against." tweeted Matt Hardy.

While the brothers might not be able to put on the death-defying moves that were hallmarks of their early careers, they can rely on O'Reilly and Fish to do the bulk of the work and carry them to a great match. With Jeff's admission that ReDragon is one of his dream opponents, this makes the potential bout even more highly-anticipated.

#3. AEW dream bout: The Hardy Boyz vs. Lucha Bros

It is no secret that the Lucha Bros are one of the best tag teams in the world. The former Tag Team Champions have been stalwarts of the company, joining them very early in their existence. They have since gone on to put on outstanding matches with the likes of Young Bucks, Kenny Omega and Hangman Page as well as Jurassic Express.

Matt Hardy is also a known admirer of the luchadors. During their run as tag champs last year, he went on Twitter to commend the Lucha Bros:

"Considering I know a lil’ bit about tag team wrestling, I’m loving what the Lucha Bros are doing in @AEW #AEWRampage," tweeted Matt Hardy.

If Jeff Hardy debuts in the company, a match between Hardy Boyz and Lucha Bros will be a battle of high-flyers from two different generations. It is also a great way to keep Rey Fenix and Pentagon Jr. on television, since they haven't done much since dropping the titles.

#2. AEW dream bout: The Hardy Boyz vs. Jurassic Express

The current AEW Tag Team Champions are on the hottest run of their careers right now. Since winning the titles from Lucha Bros, they have been positioned as top dogs in a stacked division. Managed by Christian Cage, they would make natural enemies for Matt Hardy.

Hardy Boyz plus Edge and Christian had epic wars in WWE, making the TLC matches famous in the process. Speaking to Shakiel Mahjouri for ET Canada, Christian Cage stated that he was "sure" that Jeff Hardy's move to AEW would happen "at some point" in the future.

"Yeah, of course. There's so much history there and, obviously, I'm very close with Matt [Hardy] as well. It's been great to reconnect with him in AEW. He's kind of doing the same thing as far as mentoring the younger generation the same way. He's also got a wealth of knowledge. Jeff is an extremely talented guy. A really good guy. I'm sure at some point that will happen," Christian Cage said.

Perhaps the reunited Hardy Boyz could have a one-off match against the current Tag Champs? Jungle Boy's babyface connection with the audience is very much similar to Jeff's and it would be interesting to see the two stars face off.

#1. AEW dream bout: The Hardy Boyz vs. The Young Bucks

Clearly a dream match if Jeff were to join the company would be between Hardy Boyz and the Young Bucks. Nick and Matt Jackson essentially patterned their careers after the elder tag team to great success. The two teams have faced each other previously in other promotions but AEW would provide the biggest stage for this clash of generations.

Nick and Matt Jackson have even fueled rumors of Jeff Hardy possibly being the company's newest acquisition. Updating their Twitter bio, they simply stated:

"Bring us Jeff Harvey," wrote The Young Bucks.

Not only would fans be excited by the possibility but wrestling legends too. Veteran commentator Jim Ross talked up the potential storylines the Hardy Boyz could have if the company were to bring Jeff in:

"I hope someday; he is wrestling for AEW. It's a no-brainer. Can you imagine the Young Bucks and The Hardy Boyz? The Hardys and the Lucha Bros? The Hardys and FTR? The Battle of North Carolina. I'm all about this stuff. That's a year right there, easy," stated Jim Ross.

The potential dream match scenarios are endless, but it all begins with Tony Khan getting Jeff Hardy into the company.
