Every AEW Stable Ranked From Worst To Best

11. The Hardy Family Office

Matt Hardy's genre expertise masterclass with Darby Allin did wonders for his stock.

Solid for the midcard when the 'upper' prefix is nowhere near it - looking at the sheer volume and level of talent within AEW's roster, has Hardy otherwise really earned the considerable time he has eaten across the last three pay-per-views? - the Hardy Family Office is a functional enough storyline driver.

Big Money Matt is a far better fit for AEW than the tiresome 'BROKEN' shtick that, beyond the levity of Stadium Stampede, didn't even belong to the promotion that boasts range as its selling point.

The actual make-up of the stable is quietly astute.

Hardy is the embittered carny, and he leads two tag teams in Private Party and the Butcher and the Blade. Private Party looked up to Hardy as an idol figure, and were corrupted by his influence after losing steam throughout 2020. This was thoroughly logical justification for the heel turn. The Butcher and the Blade meanwhile started out as mercenaries, paid by MJF to take out Cody, and it makes just as much sense for the underrated duo to follow the money now.

And if the interference can resonate with a repetitive for-the-sake-of-it vibe, the excellent Hardy Vs. Darby Allin main event arranged the chaos brilliantly.
