Matt Hardy Addresses AEW Putting Dream Matches On TV Vs PPV
In the wrestling world, anticipation is building for AEW’s upcoming events. Notable clashes are on the horizon: Nigel McGuinness versus Bryan Danielson at the Grand Slam edition of “Dynamite,” and a face-off between Ricochet and Will Ospreay during “Dynamite’s” fifth anniversary show. But here’s the twist—these marquee matchups won’t be confined to pay-per-view (PPV) exclusivity.
AEW’s decision to showcase dream matches on television has sparked debate. Shouldn’t these epic encounters be reserved for PPV events? Former AEW star Matt Hardy shared his perspective on his “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast. Surprisingly, he sees no issue with fans enjoying these high-stakes battles for free.
Hardy believes that airing such matches on TV is a strategic move by AEW President Tony Khan. By doing so, the company generates interest, boosts viewership, and ultimately enhances its overall performance. With AEW’s deep roster, dream matches abound, and not all can fit neatly into PPV slots. Hardy suggests that while Ricochet versus Ospreay could eventually find its way to TV, the clash between Danielson and McGuinness deserves the widest audience possible—hence its place on television screens.
In this wrestling saga, the stage is set, and fans eagerly await the next chapter. AEW’s gamble? Delivering dream matches to the masses, regardless of the screen they’re viewed on.
