Jeff Hardy signed with AEW earlier this year after a messy WWE release. He has since been present on AEW TV consistently, having a crazy no rules match with Darby Allin Wednesday night on Dynamite.
While speaking with AEW Unrestricted, Jeff Hardy revealed that he met Tony Khan at Ric Flair’s anniversary party and credited him for making the meet happen.
“I met Tony Khan at Ric Flair’s anniversary party with Wendy.”
“He said, ‘I own this company called AEW.’ I was like, ‘What? You’re that guy?’ We had such a good time over that weekend. It was amazing. I love Ric Flair like crazy.”
“Because of Ric, I met Tony early on, but before the 90 days, we didn’t talk at all.”
