To be fair, Jeff has had quite a few runs where Matt wasn’t in the company. Including TNA when they fired Matt and he stayed for another. I want to say at least another year and a half.

That being said, I have no interest to see Jeff anymore than I do Matt in 2024.

Idk I was wondering about Jeff too bc Tony seems to like him A LOT more than Matt, maybe just bc he's more mobile when not injured or suspended though

I almost could see him keeping Jeff but not Matt if not for that probably causing issues as in Jeff would not be okay with it
Tony probably thinks it’s like TEW, if he lets Matt’s contract expire, there won’t be any issue like if he fired him. :bosque

You still get those notifications from guys like "I think you should sign so and so" and if you say no then they get mad depending on their personality

It might be only if you use someone for a one off, I'm not sure what triggers it but it's not just bc they have a relationship

There’s more money in Jeff.

Maybe not as much as there was to make when he was in his prime, but even in 2024, Jeff Hardy might sell some merch.

But on the flip side, what good is merch when you’re hardly ever on the show people watch to push it?

Well I'd argue if the merch is selling without actually having to feature them on Dynamite, that's extra value lol

But that's coming from the POV that them being featured more would be a negative to the product to me lol tho Jeff has actually had some real good performances this year and he's allowed to wrestle on Dynamite unlike Matt lol

Matt could easily stay in a creative or backstage role and wrestle on the indies too though.

He’s got a great mind for the business.
Yeah

Honestly I think unless he really want a full time wrestling deal, I'd take the aew creative role and do the hardys vs E+C down the line as a one off retirement.

Hardy’s vs E+C in 2024? :deandre

Copeland and Christian can still go but I think it would be best if the other 2 quietly retire when it’s time

I mean the hardys still deserve a retirement match, it doesn't really have to be great and it'll still draw a bit. can do a bigger multiman if they cant go fully but honestly Jeff looks more or less fine. this aint gonna main event a ppv
