Matt Hardy is really enjoying his work with Ethan Page and The Firm.
On the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Matt and co-host Jon Alba spoke about The Firm’s recent segment on AEW Dynamite. Matt Hardy and Private Party are “members” of The Firm due to the stable owning their contracts. Originally, Matt and Ethan Page had friction, but they’ve shown a bit more of a bond in recent weeks. As Alba pointed out, the storyline has mostly played out on Dark and Elevation, but the story is strong enough that he’d like it featured more on Dynamite and Rampage.
Hardy shared some details about how a recent segment was formatted and said that they actually chose to air it on Elevation because it allowed them more time to let it play out.
“I am heavily enjoying this scenario with Ethan Page and just for clarification, we were going to do something where Ethan Page and I were going to have a conversation and Stokely was there, myself and Ethan were going to get happy and walk off and then the Stokely / HOOK thing was going to happen, which actually was on Dynamite. They thought it was weird with us leaving Stokely, and I kinda did too in some ways,” Hardy clarified, “especially if we’re working with him. They said if we’re not doing it there, would you like to do something else? I said sure, let’s put it on Elevation, that way we could take all the time we want and that way we don’t have any parameters when it comes to time.
“So, that was something that was nice too because I feel like to portray the story I was trying to share, we need a little bit more than 60 seconds, 80 seconds, whatever it may be. I think it was three minutes and change, whatever,” Hardy said. “I really liked that, I think it was an important part of our story going forward. We’re very much on the same page. I’ve had a blast working with Ethan Page and these next few weeks, it’s going to get really, really fun.”
