10 Shocking AEW Plans You Won't Believe Almost Happened
9. Team Xtreme Under One Roof
Matt Hardy brought his 'Broken/Woken' gimmick to AEW screens right at the start of the pandemic era in March 2020. Meanwhile, Jeff didn't come over to join his brother until leaving WWE in 2022. Reunited, The Hardys had a so-so run in the promotion. Would Lita's involvement have changed things? It's an interesting question.
She nearly inked an AEW deal herself in early-2023.
Lita has admitted during interviews that she chatted with Tony Khan and liked the product. She was interested in coming in, but then realised that WWE was the place for her. Imagine Lita had signed with AEW - the old Team Xtreme band would've been under the same umbrella for the first time in years.
There's no chance a lifelong wrestling fan like Tony resisted having that particular conversation. He would've been a huge fan of Lita, Matt and Jeff during his younger days, and could have found it difficult to ignore a reunion. Team Xtreme in AEW. It almost happened.
