AEW’s Jeff Hardy Signals Heel Turn Amidst Singles Pursuit
In the world of AEW, the wrestling narrative takes an unexpected twist as former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy appears to be embracing a more rebellious persona while in pursuit of singles success. Despite his impressive championship history in WWE, Hardy has yet to secure gold in AEW, and 2024 brings a renewed determination to accumulate singles wins with the return of the AEW rankings system.
The recent episode of AEW Dynamite featured a headline match between Jeff Hardy and Jon Moxley, marking their first-ever one-on-one encounter. While Moxley emerged victorious, the aftermath took a surprising turn. Departing from the customary post-match handshake, Hardy exhibited clear heelish tendencies by flipping the finger at Moxley before making a swift exit from the ring.
The plot thickened when Moxley found himself on the receiving end of a beatdown orchestrated by CMLL stars present at ringside. The genesis of this attack can be traced back to an earlier interaction during the match where Moxley had shown disrespect by gesturing at them. Seeking retribution, the CMLL stars initiated a chaotic assault.
The beatdown, however, met its end with the timely intervention of Christopher Daniels, Matt Sydal, Matt Menard, and Angelo Parker, who chased off the CMLL stars. Notably, the commentary team emphasized the absence of other Blackpool Combat Club members from Dynamite that night.
As Jeff Hardy’s character takes a darker turn, AEW fans are left intrigued, speculating about the potential rivalries and conflicts that may unfold on his journey towards singles gold.
With no other members of the BCC to protect him, the Stars of CMLL aren’t going to take Jon Moxley’s disrespect lightly!
