Matt Hardy appears to quit WWE with ‘goodbye’ tweet after being attacked by Randy Orton on Monday Night RAW
MATT HARDY appears to have said goodbye to WWE as rumours mount the legend is set to join All Elite Wrestling.
The 45-year-old is believed to be out of contract next month and has been on a losing run over recent weeks on Monday Night Raw.
On last night’s episode he showed up to demand answers from Randy Orton over his vicious attack on Edge a fortnight ago.
But “The Viper” hit Hardy with an RKO and a Con-Chair-To in what could be his final segment on the show.
Afterwards Hardy tweeted “Goodbye” along with a link to his Free The Delete YouTube series, which the multi-time tag team champion has used to keep his “Broken” character alive.
Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin then claimed the future Hall of Famer’s deal expires in March and the Orton angle was used by WWE as a way of writing him out of television storylines.
And that has led to rumours mounting he will soon be joining ex-WWE stars Cody Rhodes, Chris Jericho and Jon Moxley (formerly known as Dean Ambrose) in rival promotion AEW.
Matt and brother Jeff shot to fame as the Hardy Boyz during the infamous Attitude Era.
After several years away they r made a stunning return to WWE at WrestleMania 33 in 2017 and immediately captured the Raw Tag Team Championships.
