Ethan Page And Matt Hardy Have Created Most Of Their Own AEW Storyline

One of the more positively received storylines in All Elite Wrestling of late has almost completely been on AEW Dark, and created by the talent themselves.

In October, a story between The Firm and Matt Hardy started, which has also expanded to Private Party. While it’s largely focused around Matt Hardy and Ethan Page, several other talent have been involved. Those that we spoke to said that Hardy and Page were excited to work together for the angle, and it was almost entirely creatively developed by them.

There was also a heated three minute backstage promo between the two that aired on Dark, that we’re told they and Private Party complete in one take. The angle has received positive reviews on social media thus far, and we’re told is a part of an effort to have more stories carry over onto AEW Dark.

Those involved in the story that we’ve heard from are very happy with how the story has went.
