Matt Hardy is one of the all-time greats and, alongside his brother Jeff, he's back competing regularly on television as part of TNA.
His WWE run came to a disappointing end on Vince McMahon's watch and the less said about AEW, the better. However, in TNA, the Hardy Boyz have proven they've still got "it" and there's now a great deal of excitement about a possible WWE return.
Asked by Chris Van Vliet whether they could step back into a WWE ring as part of the company's new partnership with TNA, Matt said, "That was actually one of his [Jon Alba, Extreme Life of Matt Hardy co-host] bold predictions, The Hardys will wrestle a match in WWE before the year is over. [How do you feel about that?] I feel good about that, that's one of the great things about working with TNA."
"They know that we do have a lot of love for WWE. They know that we would like to do the Hall of Fame. We filmed some content for WWE that'll probably be dropping pretty soon. I saw the Dudleys did it the day before us, and I know theirs just dropped recently, but we have a good working relationship with them."
"I think the perfect storm arose. I think you could see us pop up even as TNA champs on some WWE show at some point. Who knows?" he teased.
Matt was also asked about returning to TNA and described how much better he and Jeff have been utilised by the company. "Once again, I can't compliment AEW enough for putting us in a position to succeed and that's what's real important, especially with a legacy act like myself and Jeff. We are guys who are still very beloved."
"We're generational talent, because we have different generations that like us and adore us and follow us," he continued. "We have a very, very strong following, a very, very die Hardy following fan base. And the fact that they have done that, they gave us opportunities. We don't need to go out there. The show doesn't need to be all about us."
"We don't need to be on every single week, but we can contribute to TNA, and they've done a great job in utilizing us."
As for whether he believes the Hardy Boyz will end their respective careers together or as individuals, Matt suggested it will be the former but pointed to him remaining part of pro wrestling even when he can no longer wrestle.
"I would imagine it would probably go out that way. We came in that way. We would probably go out that way. Then for Jeff, I could see him, he'll end up being an artist, living in Cameron or whatever he's doing. I think I'm a lifer in the business," the future WWE Hall of Famer explained. "I'll be working somewhere as a producer or an agent or creative or whatever else, just because I'm so passionate about pro wrestling. I think once I stop being an in-ring performer, I will still contribute."
