Much has been said about Matt and Jeff Hardy's in-ring future; they didn't find the success we expected in AEW (for a multitude of reasons) and, as they look to wrap up their respective careers, a final run in WWE seems likely.
Along with one last stint as The Hardy Boyz, a WWE Hall of Fame induction is inevitable, and Matt and Jeff recently linked up with WWE over SummerSlam weekend to record content for WWE Digital.
It appears that also gave them the opportunity to reunite with some old friends backstage.
"As soon as we got to Cleveland, we were met by a WWE driver who picked us up, took us to the WWE TV Hotel where we went and we recorded some media, some digital for those guys, which is going to air on some other platforms coming up in the future," Matt said on his podcast. "It was very cool. It was very cool to interact with a lot of the guys."
"We walked in. The first person we saw was Jey Uso, which was cool. I saw a couple of the other boys, saw a lot of the office and interacted with them some, and we filmed this bit. We’ve got some really neat stuff that’s going to be coming out on WWE digital here over the course of probably the next three, four, or five months."
He added, "We spoke to people in production and they said they would like to do more of this going forward. I said, 'We would love to as well.' I think for Jeff it was a real big deal to be there and talk to some of the people because he felt bad about the way he left, he felt bad about stuff he’d done at AEW when he got in trouble, and just to kind of clear the air and let them see where he’s at in life right now."
This all sounds pretty promising and, while WWE Digital content isn't quite the same as a full-blown return to the company, it suggests there are no hard feelings between the iconic tag team and the company.
Finally, Matt shared his take on whether the door is open to wrestling in WWE again during this new Triple H era which has seen the sports entertainment giant reach new levels of success and popularity.
"WWE was our birthplace. Without the WWE, we wouldn’t have become who we ultimately became, these tag team legends, however people view us or the worst tag team ever. You know, Matt and Jeff Hardy. Whatever you think our legacy is, that happened because of WWE giving us an opportunity, obviously, so that will always be viewed as our home."
"We’ve said this before and I’ve said this on this podcast, ad nauseam that I think we want to finish in WWE now because that is our home. That seems like the right way to do it. I mean, there was a time with AEW where I would have been cool doing it there and just finishing up there, but I think now to really come full circle and come back around to where we were and the people that first gave us our opportunity to become stars and achieve this dream that we aspired to do, I think we want to finish our deal at WWE, end our careers there and do a Hall of Fame thing. We’ll see."
