Jeff Hardy looks back on the end of his time in AEW.
Matt Hardy left AEW when his contract expired, and he returned to TNA at TNA Rebellion in April 2024. Jeff Hardy was still under contract with AEW, but he ultimately followed Matt to TNA, as he made his own return at TNA Against All Odds.
Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Jeff Hardy noted that he wanted The Hardys to have a heel run. He said that they were supposed to have one in AEW, but it wound up not happening. Jeff then said that he thought about staying in AEW after Matt returned to TNA, but the situation unfolded differently. (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
“There’s never been a real heel Hardy run and I was so excited about that in AEW, but I know, I own what I’ve done,” Jeff Hardy said. “It was my fault, I really let Matt down with the whole AEW thing. I think AEW man, before I broke my nose wrestling Sammy Guevara, my thinking was like, ‘Man, we’re not being used. What if I can be a heel on social media and send out some tweets.’ It evidently wasn’t professional, but again, it’s not like I was being serious, I just said something like Collision was designed for Punks.
“I ended up getting three matches out of that with Swerve Strickland, Jon Moxley, and then Sammy. In all those matches, I had that passion, I could feel it again within myself. Then naturally, injury happens and my nose is broken, that’s gonna take a while to heal. Things just worked out the way they worked out and I am so glad to be back in TNA. Super excited, TNA has been there for me in dark times, man.”
The Hardys won the TNA World Tag Team Championship at TNA Bound For Glory. They are set to defend the gold at TNA Genesis.
