Another day, another story regarding The Hardy Boyz' future in WWE, as PWInsider have come through with a new report on when Matt and Jeff's individual contracts expire.

Per their story, Matt's WWE deal is set to expire on 1 March. This is in-line with their December story claiming he had roughly two months left on his contract. They also note that the delay on the elder Hardy potentially resigning is over creative issues, not money, though there's currently no word on whether or not he'll re-sign with the promotion.

Jeff's situation is more complicated, as PWInsider have confirmed his deal has been extended as a result of time missed due to injury and personal/legal issues. Regarding the latter, WWE has seemingly pushed Jeff towards getting help, and the report states that he is currently "working hard to do so." Again, there's no word on what his long-term future holds.

Matt's name was mentioned as one that could potentially jump to AEW on a recent episode of Wrestling Observer Radio. This was teased in last week's Dark Order segment, with Evil Uno dropping a Broken Universe-style "wonderful," though this obviously isn't gospel.
