Matt Hardy confirms a recent Fightful Select report.
Earlier this week, Fightful Select issued a report on the status of Jeff Hardy's contract with AEW. The report stated that Hardy's deal with the company is set to expire sometime in the spring, despite the fact that many believed his deal would've been extended into 2025 due to injury and sabbatical time.
On the latest edition of The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy, Matt Hardy himself stated that the report is accurate.
“I think that is accurate though, so I’ll give Fightful their flowers. I think that is accurate. It’s coming up a lot sooner than we thought it was going to come up. I guess it could be extended if need be, you know once again, I don’t know what they’ll do. It seems like from what I know and what I’m aware of, because when they offered me a deal, they offered Jeff a deal at the same time and they were very similar and his date was a lot earlier than we thought. So yeah, that report is pretty accurate.”
Hardy went on to clarify that Jeff Hardy was offered a new deal at the same time he was offered a new deal by AEW.
“Recently. Yes [Jeff was also offered a new deal].”
Hardy was then asked by Jon Alba if he believes that his career path will be linear with Jeff Hardy going forward.
“I would rather do it with Jeff, because Jeff and I, we have all these appearances that we’re doing together. Were at our best when we’re together and I even think Jeff would admit that and say that as well. It’s most beneficial from us when we’re both together, so we shall see. If something happened and it was just me doing my own thing, I’m okay with doing that, I’m not afraid of working hard and betting on myself. In a perfect world, it’s Jeff and I, we match up and we make the decisions together going forward.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Hardy talked about his return to TNA and how quickly it came together. Learn more here.
