The Hardys’ return to WWE for an upcoming episode of NXT on The CW was a sudden development, according to Matt Hardy.
Matt and Jeff Hardy, the reigning TNA World Tag Team Champions, are set to face No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights and Myles Borne in Cincinnati, Ohio. While their return has generated excitement, Matt recently revealed on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy Podcast that the decision was made at the last minute.
“This was a very last-minute thing. It’s cool because everyone knows that TNA and NXT have this partnership right now—TNA and WWE. I think it’s gonna continue to expand, but it has already been so beneficial to both TNA and NXT.”
The challenge for the match was issued on NXT, and The Hardys responded with a video on social media, which aired on the show. However, Matt revealed that the video itself was created in a rush.
“Even when that happened on Tuesday night, that little video of Jeff and I on NXT, that had only existed about an hour, 45 minutes before that. This is not something that had been long-term planned. It was very spur of the moment, and that kind of makes you feel alive.”
Hardy also expressed enthusiasm about the match, acknowledging the challenge posed by Heights and Borne.
“They’re both legit bad-asses, so we’re gonna have to be ready to rock and roll whenever we step into the ring in Cincinnati.”
While the return may have been unplanned, Matt is excited about the opportunity and hinted that there could be more to come from this growing WWE-TNA partnership.
What Was The Craziest Thing A Fan Once Sent Matt Hardy?
Matt Hardy spoke about the craziest thing a fan once sent him in the mail. Matt explained that a female fan once sent him via The Hardys PO box a large vial of her blood. Accompanying the vial was a letter that instructed Matt to inject himself with her blood, and to then send her a vial of his blood so she could inject herself also so that the two could “always feel one another.”
