Hardys & Bucks Feuding Over WrestleMania 33 Weekend?
According to PWInsider.com, Ring of Honor talents War Machine, Jay Lethal, BJ Whitmer, Steve Corino, Bobby Cruise, Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish all have their ROH deals expiring soon.
In the case of Jay Lethal, it appears all but confirmed he will re-sign with the company. As we noted last week, Steve Corino bid farewell to Ring of Honor as he heads to the WWE Performance Center for a new role as a coach. It appears as if Corino’s ROH contract is not yet expired, so despite him heading to WWE he could still re-sign with ROH if the Performance Center gig does not work out.
The Young Bucks had a major hand in the Matt Hardy video which aired during ROH Final Battle, and it’s a case of the two teams wanting to work together to create something special. While not confirmed, the hope is for the two teams to do something in Lakeland, Florida over Wrestlemania 33 weekend.
