At the end of the match, it appeared as though Marq Quen was injured and needed assistance getting to the back. Hardy ended up helping his opponent from the match to the back and leaving the Young Bucks alone in the ring.

“Glad you’re injury wasn’t too severe, Marq Quen. The bond that you & your partner Isiah Kassidy share reminds me of a young me & Jeff Hardy. Very happy that you 2 have this great opportunity at AEW,” Hardy Tweeted.

Quen was not actually injured in the match, however, the worked injury was just a way to get Hardy out of the ring so Butcher and the Blade could attack. This then led to FTR’s Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler making their AEW debuts.

Hardy blasts WWE

Matt Hardy is one of the hottest talents in the wrestling world right now. The Broken One has a spectacular gimmick and had an amazing Stadium Stampede match last week on Double Or Nothing.

This is a long way from his time in the WWE where Matt was stripped of his ‘broken’ gimmick and was handled poorly by the management and creative teams alike.

Fans accused WWE of squandering his talent and burying him because of his reluctance to extend his contract. Matt recently took to Twitter to talk about his latest WWE run.

This tweet occurred as a response to Jim Valley. Jim wrote on Twitter that the “Hardys” got the biggest reaction at WrestleMania 33, but it led to nowhere.

Hardy tweeted “You’re correct, Jim. We were insanely hot coming into WM33, but our usage was squandered. I am grateful for the return & time there, but it could’ve been SO much better. You can keep an act hot & a money maker without it being a forced focal point of the show. AEW grants me this.”

Hardy has shared a lot of praise for the way AEW treats its talent. On a recent episode of the Busted Open podcast, he even highlighted that he was enjoying his time in AEW.
