Matt Hardy discusses The Hardys’ run in WWE NXT so far.
TNA World Tag Team Champions The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy) competed on the February 25th episode of WWE NXT. They appeared again the following week, and they will defend their titles against Fraxiom at NXT Roadblock.
Matt Hardy opened up about The Hardys’ time in NXT while speaking on his The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast.
“It’s been incredible,” Matt Hardy said. “I can’t really put it over enough, they’ve been so great to us. The way they have treated us as such legends and just like they act so honored, ‘Thank you so much for doing this, thank you for coming out and being a part of this.’
“We came out last night and the crowd was so loud. Right before we went out, Shawn came up and said, ‘Hey, I know these people are going to be real hyped to see you, but if you can, we’d like to keep the show on time. Just try and you know, kind of get it going.’ That was great, Shawn’s been incredible. Matt Bloom has been great, everybody has been. The whole experience has been so so so so so fun.”
Matt Hardy On Universal Love For The Hardys
Matt then described how there was “universal love” for The Hardys, as the fans had welcomed them back. He also reiterated his past comments about how WWE is The Hardys’ home, and they want to finish their careers there.
“It is. I mean, it’s just crazy how much universal love there has been in the building the last couple weeks,” Matt said. “Last Tuesday, it was a much bigger venue and just the universal love there was incredible. We could have sat there and milked that promo over, the crowd, they were wanting to chant Hardy or like welcome home, welcome back, thank you Hardy. At one point, they were saying Brother Nero but we just tried to go ahead and get through our promos so we didn’t go heavy in our whole segment.
“It was just so flattering, so humbling. The legitimate chant and the love and the passion those people showed us when they were saying welcome back home felt really special. I think Jeff and I have come to realization, at the end of the day, the WWE is our home and that is where we want to finish things when it’s all said and done.”
Matt also noted that TNA has been amazing to The Hardys, and it has been amazing to see how they have worked with WWE. (H/t Fightful for the transcription)
