Matt is one of the few wrestlers to have been wrestling in four separate decades after making his debut in 1992. He is so good that he has managed to keep himself relevant thanks to a variety of gimmicks and personas. In 2002, Hardy began a solo career in WWE. His subsequent “Version 1” persona was named Best Gimmick by the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. Hardy’s eccentric “Broken” gimmick, which he debuted in 2016, garnered praise from wrestling critics and earned him multiple awards, including a second Best Gimmick award, becoming one of the most talked-about characters in all of wrestling. As a singles wrestler, Hardy has won three world championships (one ECW Championship, and two TNA World Heavyweight Championships). In total, Hardy held 21 titles between WWE, TNA and ROH.

Matt Hardy signed with the WWE in 1994 and was a jobber for the early part of his career. His first match was against Nikolai Volkoff on RAW, which he lost by submission. He then went on to lose matches against the likes of Crush, Razor Ramon, Hakushi, Owen Hart, the imposter Undertaker, Triple H and Stone Cold Steve Austin. He teamed up with his brother Jeff Hardy in 1996 and took on the team of The Smoking Guns which they eventually lost. On July 5, 1999, Matt and Jeff won the tag team titles for the first time by defeating the APA.
Matt turned heel by attacking Jeff during Jeff’s match against Rob Van Dam because Hardy was frustrated at not receiving a match against Van Dam for the number one contendership for the Intercontinental Championship. He later joined SmackDown and began dubbing himself “Matt Hardy: Version 1”. Hardy defeated The Undertaker on the September 12 and October 3 episodes of the show, due to interference from Brock Lesnar. Matt was suspended from WWE in 2005 for uploading a video on social media which at that time was deemed unofficial.
In August, he returned and attacked Edge who was in a relationship with Lita and that started off a very personal and bitter rivalry. He was released from his WWE contract in October 2010. Matt returned to the WWE along with his brother at WrestleMania 33 after being added as last-minute participants in the ladder match for the RAW Tag Team Championship, defeating Gallows and Anderson, Cesaro and Sheamus, and Enzo and Cass to win the RAW Tag Team Championship.
