Jeff Hardy and CM Punk had a heated rivalry in 2009 over the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The two would feud throughout the spring and summer of 09 before Hardy lost a "loser leaves WWE" match to Punk on the August 28th episode of WWE SmackDown.
Speaking to Chris Van Vliet on Insight, Hardy was asked about potentially renewing his rivalry with Punk.
“Yeah, the reality is, it could happen. Our feud man, I still get so many compliments on that with people that are adults now, ‘Oh man, you and Punk, that feud was amazing.’ Even in AEW, I felt like there was a moment for me and Punk — at least with some kind of faceoff or uncomfortable [moment] with us running into each other backstage, but we never got to do that. Ultimately, I would love to revisit that feud in some way and who knows man, CM Punk is such a superpower in the pro wrestling game. If Jeff Hardy getting sober made him an asshole, heel Jeff Hardy against the one and only popular CM Punk, I feel like that’s completely possible," said Hardy.
Hardy and Punk were in AEW together in 2022 and 2023.
Hardy is currently signed to TNA Wrestling while Punk is back in WWE.
