Matt Hardy backstage at RAW tonight

[LucharesuFan619 0]

Sean McCaffrey and DeclarationOfIndependents.net have received word from several different wrestlers that Matt Hardy is backstage at tonight's WWE RAW event. One source told DOI that Matt would be returning to WWE tonight, although that isn't a sure thing. This is interesting because as of a couple of hours ago, Matt's 90-day non-compete clause expired and he is technically no longer under WWE contract and therefore a free agent. Being that Matt has been taking a more and more aggressive stance toward Lita and Edge over the past two weeks on his website, TheMattHardy.com, it's possible that tonight will mark some time of appearance by him on RAW.

 

Matt is currently scheduled to wrestle Christopher Daniels later this month for Ring of Honor, and he is also expected to get involved with TNA down the line, where he would join his brother, Jeff.

I'm not expecting him to make a return, but if he does, I will literally piss myself.

[Dangerous A 0]

If true, it's not that big a surprise. WWE figures if they tell Matt to jump, he'll ask how high. They'll let him work ROH, but not TNA.

[SuperJerk 0]

It wouldn't surprise me if that pro-TNA shit he posted was a swerve.

[Guest *KNK*]

It needs to pointed out, they had only booked Hardy for ROH up to August 13th in Chicago.

 

Beyond that, no dates. Strange considering how he basically says he is in love with the product. You would think they say he was signed on beyond that.

[SuperJerk 0]

If Matt said he was in love with the TNA product, then we'd KNOW he's lying.

[The Buzz 0]

Maybe...Roh only has him booked up that far because they want to give him a trial run to see how well he does before they decide whether to include him fulltime in the product.

[Guest *KNK*]

They had Gibson booked for a complete slate of matches upon working a deal with him.

 

I think either Matt knew he would crawl back to WWE for the appeal of money or ROH isnt wanting to take the risk of booking him beyond the august double shot and then risking having to take him off or reducing his stock in the card.

Actually a Matt Hardy return might be very possible considering the match scheduled for raw tonight is.

Matt is making pennies in ROH compared to what WWE would give him, and that's with WWE lowballing him. Bank that Matt has WWE as priority #1 if they come calling. TNA is probrably #2 because they can at least pay him something. ROH doesn't enough to where it's the only thing Matt could work. He'd have to supplement ROH with TNA or other indie bookings. Why go through all that hassle if WWE can eclipse all of that? Trust me, he'll put his feelings aside for the E.

Exactly. I always tell people who ask me about the situation that money>pride, and as Ted DiBiase always said, "Every man has a price."

[Guest *KNK*]

He did explain in his recent entries that he is very set in terms of making a living (meaning he saved)

 

Either he is being honest or he had his tracks covered.

I thought of that, but didn't want to fan the flames of this rumor.

 

Because we still don't really know if he'll actually be backstage or not.

He is only 30-32 years old. If he is going to live to past 60, he would need to get more money because I don't see him being paid enough in the last 7 years or so to "set" himself up for life.

[Jobber of the Week 0]

I'd put a question mark on this one. The source is something I've never heard of before.

[Fro 0]

If this were legit, this would be all over the place. I also think they'd be hiding Hardy from everyone backstage like they did with the draft picks.

[Dangerous A 0]

Until Meltz or Torch reports it, take with a big grain of salt IMO.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Let's not lie to ourselves. If Hardy's music hits on the PA system during Kane vs. Edge tonight, we will all MARK THE FUCK OUT.

[The Ghost of bps21 0]

WWE would be stupid to hand the hottest internet story of the last year to TNA.

 

They aren't competition...but why hand them a buzzworthy thing such as this...when you can just pay Matt Hardy to come back.

 

Plus...the WWE seems to be heading in a more reality based direction anyway (Meanie/JBL).

[snuffbox 0]

Maybe Ill actually watch the Edge-Kane match now...

[Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0]

If they were going to make peace, he should have came out during that awful wedding. Kane is going to have to find another program or fight Matt over Edge and Lita.

V1 ain't showin' up.

 

 

 

*bubble bursts*

[Guest NitroJMS]

Ho-

shit!

 

 

Mark your calendars, boyos. You got your wish. Now let's see if they can pay it off.

I'd still bet this DOI site got this news from another source.

[Guest bort]

DOI site is generally good for news although most of the time the news biased as they generally only report on the feds that they are in bed with.....there a good site for indy stuff overalll tho

Nope. I'm not surprised at all.

The whole Matt thing was a work.

 

And so was Brock leaving. I told you it was a work and that Brock was going to be back.

You know what else was a work?

 

The Vietnam War. It was just an angle to keep Russia out of the main event.
