8 WWE Releases To Expect In 2020

Of all the names featured in this piece, this one seems like the biggest no-brainer of the lot.

It's extremely public knowledge that Matt Hardy's WWE contract is due to expire this March, and it's likewise public knowledge that the eldest of the Hardy Boyz has turned down any potential contract extension due to being creatively unhappy in WWE.

For his part, Matt believes that he still has more to offer the wrestling world, both in-ring and out, and Hardy's wife Rebecca has regularly taken to Twitter to suggest that WWE has outright turned down any creative suggestions the Woken One has made for his character.

Hardy is one of the brightest wrestling minds in the business today, yet WWE seemingly has it set in stone that they don't view him as having any significant role in the company going forward. While the legendary grappler's in-ring days are clearly winding down as injuries begin to take their toll, there's still so much more that Matt Hardy can offer to the business on a host of levels.

Regardless, WWE's inevitable loss could most certainly be another promotion's gain - particularly with rumblings of Hardy being revealed as The Dark Order's Exalted One over in AEW.

With how he was left decimated yet again at the hands of Randy Orton on this Monday's episode of Raw, we may have already seen the last of Matt Hardy in a WWE ring.
