Matt Hardy got a close up look at WWE NXT talent at NXT Roadblock as he competed on the show, teaming with his brother Jeff Hardy to take on Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom).
The card featured Stephanie Vaquer vs. Giulia in the main event, Je'Von Evans vs. Ethan Page in a street fight, and more.
Speaking on his Xtreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt named the talents who stood out to him.
“Both of the girls were really impressive, Stephanie and Giulia. It’s funny, even they asked if they could take a picture with us and Stephanie said I’d met her when I was doing something in Mexico, maybe when I was doing something for AAA through TNA years ago.
“There were a lot of people where we just got to sit down and really watch them for the first time ever. Even Je’Von, it was great watching him and seeing how talented he was because I’d heard about him and I’d heard how good he was. One of those things where you’re moving around like Jeff and I are moving currently and recently and then on top of that, if you have kids at home and you have a wife at home and responsibilities and real life shit you know, it’s like, you don’t get to watch all the wrestling that you would like to. I’d would love to be able to consume as much as possible, but still, there were a lot of people that really stood out. Oba is another person. I’d never seen a ton of his work, but I think he has the potential to be a huge star. He could go all the way in the business, right? I love Myles (Borne) and Tavion (Heights) too, they were both great. Big fan of Fraxiom, even working with those guys, they are really incredible and it’s so cool. I think they are happy they got that opportunity to do this weird move of these two guys don’t fit together but we’re going to team them and then they really make it into something great, I’m so happy for those guys.”
