WWE has announced Randy Orton vs. Matt Hardy in a No Holds Barred Match for this Monday's Raw in Everett, Washington.
PWInsider.com is told that creative direction was decided upon over the last 24 hours as Hardy was not originally slated for Raw and had even tweeted a goodbye message on social media.
Hardy's current WWE deal, unless something changes, will expire on 3/1. As PWInsider.com has previously reported, the two sides have been at a stalemate regarding how Hardy would be used going forward if he signed a new deal. Financial terms have not been an issue, as PWInsider.com also previously reported.
3 days ago, I suffered the worst head & neck trauma possible. A normal man would be out for months-I’m fighting Randy Orton on #RAW. My life & career are both currently in limbo. I also have a powerful, ancient spirit trying to possess me. I AM UNKILLABLE. https://t.co/qplBdm24SR
