Professional wrestling legend and former WWE United States champion Matt Hardy who is also a former who is also a formal 11 times Tag Team champion in WWE recently explained how AEW would be benefited from the return of Vince McMahon and the potential sell of WWE.
There is no doubt that Vince McMahon made WWE the top professional wrestling brand. But it is also true that his product during the final days of his reign was boring and repetitive. Most of the fans were frustrated with the similar product. But last year, he announced his retirement and his son in law Triple H became the Head of Creative of WWE.
Matt Hardy Explains How AEW Would Benefit From Vince McMahon’s Return
During the closing days of McMahon, his rival promotion AEW was gaining massive success. But with Triple H being in charge, WWE was improving very fast and it was getting really difficult for AEW to compete with WWE. But with the return of McMahon, AEW can definitely grow once again as the 77 year old has started to produce his monotonous product since his return and fans were pretty much frustrated with it.
There are also rumours that WWE might get sold. A number of names have been rumoured as the potential buyers of WWE. One of the rumored names is Tony Khan who is the owner of AEW himself. This could be repeat of the WCW takeover of WWE.
Tony Khan would be the worst nightmare for WWE fans. If WWE gets sold to him, surely he will kill the brand just like Vince killed WCW. For the hardcore fans, any other potential buyer would be better option than Tony.
Matt Hardy who is also a former who is also a formal 11 times Tag Team champion in WWE recently spoke on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast where he explained how AEW would be benefited from the return of Vince McMahon and the potential sell of WWE. He said;
“Vince McMahon is back and he is the head. He is sitting as the head of the table of WWE currently. We also have Stephanie gone so there’s obviously been a big shake-up. There is a lot of cells, rumors, and innuendo going around, and if you ask me more than anything who benefits from all this? I would say AEW so I’m very happy to be at AEW currently right now. AEW has been producing great content.
“One thing I love about it is at WWE, they’re playing Games of Thrones It’s like in and out. Who can retain the power and who can backstab? Who can get someone else out or how can I get back in whatever it may be. Here, fortunately, it is just TK [Tony Khan] sitting on the Iron Throne.
“It was very controversial whenever Vince ended up leaving [in July 2022.] Some of the accusations against him. And I don’t know, considering how much pro wrestling has started to begin mirroring society which is a good thing that it has it’s no longer the wild west it is starting to try and mirror society and run a parallel to how society is. Be a little more moral. But like the Vince thing could end up being very controversial because there are a lot of skeletons in those closets.”
