#3 Matt Hardy
Matt Hardy is a middle-aged wrestler, which might not make him seem like a great candidate for an upstart pro wrestling organization such as All Elite Wrestling. However, AEW needs big stars with instant name recognition if they are to be competitive, as is their stated goal.
Matt Hardy would be a great catch for Cody and the Young Bucks, because of his name recognition but also because he has a keen mind for the wrestling business. In just a few years, Matt Hardy has done more to transform the wrestling business than other men have in a decade.
Hardy's creative genius would be a boom for AEW, and he could wrestle a part-time schedule to take it easy on his battered body. Cody and the Young Bucks all look up to Matt Hardy as both a veteran and a man who has accomplished a great deal in spite of being 'too small.'
