Found something interesting in regards to the Matt Hardy contract situation in WWE in this week's Observer Newsletter.
Meltzer speculated WWE might try one last attempt to keep Hardy in the company by offering him creative control but then move him to NXT in order to make it happen. If they don't, Hardy going to AEW is almost a lock with ROH as a potential dark horse candidate.

If not, one would think he’s AEW bound and would probably be a featured player there. Because he’s set for life and in the past has chosen creativity over money, it’s not like it’s one of those guys who looks at the money figure and goes this makes a difference later in life and need to take it. Plus, he’ll make good money wherever he goes, but to me the options are either WWE sending him to NXT or him going to AEW because ROH may spend for him and he’s had issues with Impact management and both ROH and Impact at this point may be too under the radar for what he wants
