Not at all, Matt needs nothing he is midcard or TNA bound 4life, Christian winning it and Edge winning @ WM would set up a feud for them which I'd rather see 10000000000xs more than Matt Hardy with title or title shot vs anyone.

Matt Hardy is not allowed anywhere near EITHER world title until he revives his douchey V1 gimmick. Although, honestly, I would rather see him win MITB over the obvious and inevitable victor... Drew f***ing McIntyre.

I'd like for him to win it. I don't think he will, but I'm pulling for him.
I don't quite understand why Matt would be punished for Jeff going to TNA. It's not like Jeff screwed over WWE, and his contract was expired months before he went over, as I recall.

I briefly considered the possibility as well, and I think that I would enjoy it because it would be a different run with the MITB. I fully expect the UT/HBK match to be the last match at WM, leaving open the possibility that both heel champions retain. Matt could be an interesting MITB holder under those conditions for a number of reasons:
1) Matt already has interactions with Jericho through NXT. On top of that, their respective rookies, Barrett and Gabriel, are the two top prospects after Bryan. If their pros increase their interactions because one is the WHC and the other is the MITB holder, it will improve the rookies' visibility even more as NXT wraps up.
2) Batista is the type of heel champion that Matt can interact well as a potential underdog. Perhaps Batista can recognize the MITB contract as the real threat while being dismissive towards Matt himself, even though they had matches against each other not long ago where Matt was shown to be capable of getting the upset win. Perhaps Batista's approach to dealing with Matt is more arrogant than Jericho's, such as getting Vince to occasionally ban Matt from Raw and also having some hired guns keep Matt busy. I recommend Ryder, Swaggar, and other guys that can take losses to Matt without losing any existing momentum. Perhaps even Carlito and Regal can do it as well and it play a role in Gabriel's eventual elimination from NXT.
3) Matt is kept busy on smackdown by having vince force him to defend the MITB against Drew constantly. Eventually, he can wing the IC our of it all and finally souring Vince on Drew (and being the impetus of a face turn for Drew).
A run with the MITB for Matt will be a much different angle than the previous ones where instead of it being a case of when he will cash in it will be a case of when he can cash in. Between Batista's goons on Raw, choosing to only focus on mentoring Gabriel on NXT, and Vince's constant interference on Smackdown he doesn't get any open opportunities to cash in for months. It will be a different type of title chase. Preferably, he eventually cashes in on Batista (after Batista and Edge, who will by then be WHC, both switch brands at the draft) since the two of them could do the underdog champion better than previous examples.
Won't happen of course, but it could be great if they chose to do it. We need a poor man's Foley in the WWE, which Matt could pull off if he brought back much of his V1 stuff (he is already bringing back some of the attire from those days).

WWE IS going to swerve us by having Kane win.

SOMEONE WHO LISTENS!!!! However, I still see Taker/HBK: Even Worse Than The First to not be the last match and Edge wins the belt in the last match, then Punk (whatever the outcome of his feud with Rey) to challenge Edge, as I stated earlier. But if Jericho wins, then so does Cena. Either one or both of the faces must win, IMHO.

People who keep saying that Matt wont win because his brother is in TNA are forgetting one important thing:How many titles did Edge win when his brother was in TNA?
........What do you mean they are not really brothers?

Matt Hardy will remain a mid-carder for the remainder of his pro-wrestling career.
I hate to say it but I doubt I'll ever seem him achieve anything more than his current rank on the roster.
..that being said, he's much better off financially then myself - so I'm not in the position to be critical of someone's station in life.

Well, no one accused me of being smart enough.
But maybe I'm just too damned hopeful or something, cuz I never thought so many people could so vehemently disagree with me. To each his own, I guess, but I was at least hoping for more than five "OF COURSE!" votes.

He's got a better chance at winning than Bourne and Benjamin but that's about it.
My personal ranking goes:
Christian/Drew McIntyre MVP Dolph Ziggler Jack Swagger Kane Matt Hardy Shelton Benjamin Evan Bourne

Hm... nice theories on Matt Hardy winning it. I never thought of it like that, but I could definitely see it happening. He HAS been interacting with Jericho and I could definitely see him feuding with Drew in an IC title vs MITB thing.

Maybe that will get Drew over as actually being a competitor that fans can actually care about, cuz I also fell that he's a wee bit on the boring side.
