#6. AEW star Matt Hardy
AEW star Matt Hardy has a long history with WWE and Triple H. He had several WWE runs throughout his career, the latest ending in 2020.
Hardy left WWE in March 2020 after his contract expired. Following his departure, the 47-year-old received a call from Triple H. The Game tried to convince him to return to WWE, but the former WWE Tag Team Champion was determined:
"Even days after I left, I talked to Triple H... It’s just like he was cool, and I feel like if Triple H would have been the guy that was solely in power, I would have probably had a much better opportunity of kind of getting to do what I wanted creatively, but it is what it is," Hardy said (H/T The Sun)
Matt Hardy debuted in AEW two months following his WWE departure. He teamed up with Kenny Omega in his debut match to fight Sammy Guevara and Chris Jericho but lost.
The 47-year-old is currently the leader of The Hardy Office stable, which includes Private Party and The Hybrid 2. The faction recently lost to Best Friends and Jurassic Express at All Out.
