One big thing: Matt Hardy wants Private Party to get a run on top in AEW
Former AEW star Matt Hardy believes it’s time for Private Party (Isiah Kassidy and Marq Quen) to break out of their holding pattern and make a significant impact in AEW’s tag team division.
Why it matters
• Private Party has been a part of AEW since its inception but has yet to reach the heights of their initial upset victory over The Young Bucks.
• A push for Private Party could inject fresh energy into AEW’s tag team scene and potentially create new stars.
By the numbers
• Private Party has been with AEW for nearly 5 years.
• Their most notable win came against The Young Bucks in AEW’s early days.
What they’re saying
Hardy on Private Party’s current status:
“They’ve kinda just been on the treadmill, you know, like a hamster running in a circle for almost five years now.”
On his hopes for the team:
“I would like to see them involved, I’d like to see them move forward, I’d like to see some aggression in their character and where their story is going. My fingers crossed for them, I know they’ve been pushing to do it for a while now.”
The big picture
• Hardy suggests that The Young Bucks initially wanted to elevate newer teams, including Private Party.
• AEW management reportedly pulled back on this strategy to maintain The Young Bucks as the division’s focal point.
What’s next
Private Party will challenge The Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championships at AEW WrestleDream on October 12.
