6 WWE Attitude Era Superstars and 1 WCW Legend wrestling in AEW  

#2 Matt Hardy

If there was one of the most thoughtful WWE acquisitions that AEW has made so far, it was the signing of Matt Hardy. It's fair to say that Hardy's most significant plus point is his ability to evolve and keep himself relevant.

He is arguably one of the most outstanding tag team performers of his generation, with Jeff and his brother, like The Hardy Boyz. The list of titles that he has held is certainly nothing to scoff at.

• 6-time WWE World Tag Team Champion
• 1-time WCW Tag Team Champion
• 1-time WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champion
• 3-time WWE RAW Tag Team Champion
• 1-time ECW Champion
• 1-time WWE US Champion

Matt Hardy was even a 2-time TNA World Heavyweight Champion, where audiences came to know his character, "Broken Matt Hardy." This character was intriguing, and Impact Wrestling provided him with the stage to do as he saw fit. It could be argued that Hardy was a pioneer of the Cinematic Matches that are used freely in AEW and WWE, with this creation of 'The Final Deletion.'

While the brothers' duo returned to WWE, Matt didn't seem to find it creatively satisfying. When the AEW opportunity came along, Hardy brought his 'Broken' gimmick back. Though the character didn't exactly take off, Hardy quickly changed, creating the Hardy Family Office stable and becoming a manager in the process.

Hardy's creative juices are flowing freely in AEW, and there's no telling what other things he can bring to the table.
