WWE Employee Wishes Matt Hardy Dead On Social Media?

The Hardy family just can’t seem to catch a break these days. Last night, a WWE employee named Julie Youngberg retweeted a fan’s comment about Matt Hardy being the 5th man on The Miz’s team at TLC. Youngberg is a seamstress for the promotion that has supposedly been employed by the company for decades; she is also the ex-wife of Hardy friend Shannon Moore.

I would love if the fifth man was dead Matt. Did I say that? https://t.co/qp1zKGslRF

If you know anything about The Hardy family, you know it didn’t take Reby Hardy, Matt’s wife, to verbally eviscerate this woman.

Say it in person next time ! Say hi, babe ! What's GOOD, twitter fingers !!! Just remember: I ain't got a job to lose https://t.co/tY5SC1OQXe

— Reby Hardy (@RebyHardy) October 18, 2017

The two swapped tweets back and forth for several hours last night, and it got kind of ugly. Matt Hardy appeared to have a response of his own to this woman, as well.

I WILL NOT DIE.#MasFuerteQueLaMuerte pic.twitter.com/Z24EY5ehhd

All joking aside, WWE needs to handle this. Ms. Youngberg makes no bones about being a WWE employee on her social media accounts, and to threaten other employees and their families is a fireable offense where I am from. I’d be surprised if she has her seamstress position too much longer, especially with so many news sites picking up this story today.

Finn Bálor On Wanting His Title Back

As we all remember, Finn Bálor won the WWE Universal Title as last year’s SummerSlam, only to have to relinquish the title the next night due to a shoulder injury. And, he wants his title back. In a recent interview, Bálor talked about facing current champion Brock Lesnar after his program with Bray Wyatt is over.

“Listen, I don’t shy away from a fight for one second and I would absolutely love to be in there with Brock Lesnar. I would love to get in there with The Undertaker and Triple H too, these are guys that have been active at the top of the game for the last 20 years. They’re the type of guys I want to be in the ring with. We talk about stepping up and taking things to the next level, and I think that’s what I need to do next. Once I handle Bray Wyatt, I need to be going after the Universal Championship which I was never beaten for. Yes, Brock Lesnar is the current champion, but make sure you don’t forget that I relinquished the title due to injury, I was never beaten, and I definitely think that I deserve a title shot.

“For me as a fan growing up I loved David vs Goliath style matches. Right now, there’s a lot of interesting matches that could happen in WWE right now, but for me personally I think that Finn Balor vs Brock Lesnar is the most interesting match from a fans perspective that can happen right now. It’s something that has never happened before, with completely different styles inside and out of the ring. This could be a really big spectacle.”

After getting relegated to the pre-show at Summerslam, the Miz looks to defend his Intercontinental Championship at No Mercy. Thing is, we don’t know yet who his opponent is. That’s slightly absurd. If he doesn’t defend the title for two straight PPVs, then something is clearly wrong. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.

But who can he face, though? Here are some guesses.

Matt & Jeff Hardy

If WWE wants to go the easy route, then they can have a rematch between Miz and Jeff Hardy. After all, the A-Lister did cheat to retain against Hardy. In case they haven’t forgotten, this is an easy one to arrange.

For an even spicier arrangement, they can throw Matt into the mix. A Triple Threat revents disqualifications from the Miztourage, but it also allows them to straight up interfere. It also raises more interesting questions.

Do the brothers team up against the Intercontinental Champion? Will they duke it out and let the better man win? Can you freebird a singles title?

Miz has survived multi-man matches before, so it’s not out of the question for him to weasel his way into one should he be faced with both Hardys. Remember how he stole the win at Extreme Rules two years ago? Expect a finish like that should this be the case.

Matt Hardy recently held a Q&A session on Twitter where he answered many questions and talked about a lot of topics. On being asked about the “Cleaner” Kenny Omega by a fan, Hardy had some big words for him. Here are the tweets:

I think he’s great. Love his work & personality. Outside of the @WWE‘s "Alexandria", he’s a beacon of hard work & success in this industry. https://t.co/BptC8zR6HZ

Pretty sure the Cleaner will find the comments extremely DELIGHTFUL!

Matt Hardy has been teasing a return to WWE in his recent tweets. Here is a reply to Bray Wyatts tweet that Matt Hardy made on twitter

With that being said sources claim that The Hardy Boys will be trying hand first in New Japan Pro Wrestling. If that is true, this would be treat as the ‘broken’ gimmick will add 7 stars to the promotion.

EDITOR’S VIEW

The Hardy’s edition to the roster of WWE is going to be fantastic but having seen what WWE has done with many talents in the past, it is better that The Hardys move to a promotion which recognizes its talents in a much better way i.e. NJPW. Also Matt Hardy’s gimmick has been done so brilliantly that if it comes to WWE than the company will piggyback on it like they have done quite a few times. All in all no matter this 2.0 Version of both the hardy boys is guaranteed to entertain us.

Earlier Broken Matt Hardy made a surprise appearance video pre-recorded video at tonight’s ROH Final Battle pay-per-view in New York City, and delivered a surprise message to the Young Bucks and the Briscoes following their excellent match for the ROH tag team titles.

The most recent edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that Matt & Jeff Hardy’s, as well as Drew Galloway’s, TNA contracts expire next month. As of the release of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter none had been signed to new deal.
Apart from this there are rumors that WWE has always been keen to bring both the Hardy Boys back into the company and as the Wrestlemania times are flaming up bringing in the hardy boys will bring in big money into the business as both are in their best times.

As Wrestlezone reports:

In regards to The Hardy Boys the Observer reports that there is interested from WWE in bringing them back to the company. As of now however things are looking pretty good for them to stay with TNA. It sounds as if they have two options available with TNA:

A guaranteed deal that would give them full control of their outside bookings

Or, another guaranteed deal where TNA would have to approve their outside bookings

Meltzer notes that Matt is leaning towards staying with TNA while Jeff has yet to come to terms on a variety of dates per year since TNA plans on running a more regular house show schedule.

As of now Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy are both enjoying their wrestling careers travelling around the world and Matt Hardy has always been hitting on WWE.
