In other words, if this is going to be the next big thing in wrestling, where does it go? Okay say Hardy beats Edge, great he's avenged what happened. But why do people stay into him? What makes him the next Stone Cold (which is lughable, but I'll play along).
They lucked into this angle where a small percentage (a loud percentage but very small nonetheless) of the crowd were into a situation that they turned into an angle. But why does the average fan tune in to RAW to see Hardy?
I dont think anyone really believes he doesn't work for WWE, and when he starts showing up every week even the dumbest fan will figure it out. So where is the intrigue? All he becomes at that point is a cheap Austin rip off by getting thrown out of buildings and doing run-ins when he's "banned".
Do they hope that Lita jumps on someone else's dick so they can have another program for him? Or maybe they could fire him again, and then he could bitch on his website about how sad he is.

I understand your point however what you have presented here is a very simplistic version of it. If WWE is smart (and I know that's a big "if") it won't be just one match and it's all done. If they want to do it up right when Hardy and Edge finally do have a match they'll have Edge squeek out with the victory only for Hardy to pursue him again and again.
Also you mention that only 7% of fans are in the know. First off, I'm just wondering where this number came from. Secondly, by now, word of the situation has spread to a majority of the fans. And thirdly, if (yes, I know, another "if") WWE is smart and most likely they will turn it into a huge angle where Matt is probably going to end up getting interviewed either by Carlito, Jericho, or even JR. So the whole story is going to come out any ways. And if it done well the fans are going to be behind Hardy because of 1) sympathy for being screwed over and 2) he'll be the new anti-hero like Austin as you mentioned. (Note: I'm not saying that he'll be as big as Austin. I'm just saying he'll be like Austin.)
