“I Could See It Happening”: Matt Hardy Picks Former NXT Champion as the Next AEW World Champion Ahead of AEW World End

As 2023 comes to an end, pro wrestling fans await with bated breath for AEW’s Worlds End PPV. The pay-per-view could cement its spot in history as fans could see a new champion being crowned. The main event of the show will feature MJF defending his AEW World Heavyweight Championship title against former WWE NXT Champion & AEW’s Samoa Joe.

While it is a hot topic for the AEW fandom, Matt Hardy, who is a part of the AEW roster, gave his prediction for the match. He believes that it might be time for MJF to lose his title.

Why Matt Hardy believes Samoa Joe could be the next champion?

In the latest episode of his podcast The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the former WWE star was answering questions asked by his fans. The conversation drifted to the MJF vs Samoa Joe fight which is scheduled for later tonight. Talking about the fight, Hardy said that we could see a major title change tonight. He said, “I could see it happening.” While he believes that Swerve Strickland might be the one who might dethrone MJF in the future, Hardy added that he won’t be surprised if Joe becomes the champion tonight.

He said, “For some reason, I feel like we have an MJF/Swerve meeting for the title on the horizon, in the future. That’s what my gut tells me, but I don’t know.” However, talking about MJF’s health condition, he believes that tonight’s match is going to be interesting. “It would not surprise me if Samoa Joe did win, but nobody’s sure about the legitimacy of MJF’s health or where he’s at.”

Hardy further added, “It’s gonna be interesting.” The fight between Samoa Joe and MJF is scheduled for the Worlds End PPV. The event will be held at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.

One more thing that fans are eagerly waiting to see at the PPV is the identity reveal of the AEW’s Devil. While fans have their theories, Matt Hardy has called out who the Devil’s henchmen might be.

Hardy believes he knows who the Devil’s Henchmen are

On the latest episode of AEW Dynamite, we saw MJF defending the ROH Tag Team Championship titles all by himself against the Devil’s henchmen. While Somoa Joe could not come to help him, he later came out limping to help Friedman. However, things took a quick U-turn when Joe attacked MJF, leaving him severely injured. It was later revealed that Joe might be doing business with the Big Bad Wolf of AEW.

Hardy believes that he has some idea who the henchmen who attacked MJF could be. He said that his needle of suspicion was pointing at The Kingdom. The Kingdom is a new addition to AEW that consists of Matt Bennet and Matt Teven, along with Maria Kannelis as their manager. However, there is still some confusion as to how The Kingdom has a connection with The Devil. While Joe has teased his possible alliance with The Devil a few days ago, chances are that the big reveal might happen around the main event. Do you think The Devil might help Samoa Joe defeat MJF tonight?
