We had all heard the rumblings but after Brodie Lee showed up this week, we naturally assumed that Matt Hardy wasn't going to be a part of AEW. Or at least, he wasn't going to be revealed as a part of All Elite Wrestling on this one particular night. But there he was at the end of the night, aligning himself as a part of The Elite.
Matt Hardy is one of the most creative minds in the history of wrestling and he just wasn't used to his fullest potential in WWE. Even though he did have a run as a 'Woken' warrior, it just seemed like his creative vision and WWE's approach were always at odds. I just think that he will be a lot more at home in All Elite Wrestling, where he won't have to defend Edge after Randy Orton pulverizes him.

I try to be as impartial as I can in my reviews, but I have a soft spot for Broken Matt Hardy and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
