Insights into AEW Roster Split: Matt Hardy Sheds Light on Backstage Dynamics

The wrestling world is buzzing with rumors and speculations surrounding an imminent roster split within All Elite Wrestling (AEW). The details of this division, whether it will be a “soft” or “hard” split, have remained unclear, leaving fans and wrestlers alike in anticipation.

Recently, Matt Hardy, one of AEW’s top stars, took to his podcast, The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, to address the backstage atmosphere and shed some light on the roster split. Initially, Hardy had expressed enthusiasm, believing that the split would provide more opportunities for various members of the roster.

However, as revealed by Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (subscription required), the nature of the roster split seems to be constantly evolving, with changes occurring up until the show goes on air. Naturally, this ongoing uncertainty has created anxiety and unease among the AEW roster, as they await further clarity.

During his podcast, Hardy shared his thoughts on the matter, saying, “It’s become quite tricky for everyone. People want to plan vacations, spend time with their families, and make personal trips. However, as of now, everyone is required to keep their schedules open. Personally, I’ll feel relieved when Collision arrives and we have a concrete understanding of which roster will feature on Dynamite and which on Collision. There will inevitably be some wrestlers floating back and forth between the two.”

Despite his close involvement with AEW, even Hardy admitted to being in the dark regarding Tony Khan’s specific plans for the split rosters. As of the time of the podcast, no official confirmation had been made, leaving everyone uncertain about what lies ahead.

As fans eagerly await the roster split and its subsequent impact on AEW Dynamite and Collision, the backstage atmosphere remains a mix of anticipation and anxiety. Wrestlers, like Hardy, are yearning for stability and clarity, allowing them to plan their personal lives accordingly.

The coming weeks will undoubtedly bring forth more developments and announcements, bringing an end to the backstage tensions and providing a clear picture of the future of AEW’s roster split. Until then, fans and wrestlers alike will continue to eagerly follow the evolving storylines and await the final verdict on this highly anticipated division within AEW.
