Matt Hardy comments on Rey Fenix's WWE debut.
The April 4 edition of SmackDown featured a huge singles debut for Rey Fenix, as the popular luchador faced off against NXT's Nathan Frazer.
The match was widely praised by fans, with many noting that Fenix made a great impression in his debut.
On the latest edition of his The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy commented on the debut.
“He came out this week and it was nice to see him debut as a singles just so that he can kind of catch back up to the momentum that his brother has. I love Fenix and Penta, they’re both two of my favorite guys, I love those guys so much. I’m so happy for them so I’m glad he’s getting that opportunity."
Then, Hardy said that Nathan Frazer is one of the best opponents that the company could have possibly picked for Fenix.
"I was really surprised by his opponent, which was Nathan Frazer, someone who I just worked with recently. The fact that he was there, it really intrigues me. I know we had Axiom worked against Gunther in Spain, I think they’re doing some sort of storytelling here, not sure which direction this is going, but I got to tell you, I’ve already put in my request to Ava over at NXT. I mean come on, we did beat the champions, I think if anything, the TNA World Tag Team Champions deserve a shot at those NXT titles. I don’t know, we’ll see what happens but I’m always keeping my eyes close on the guys that I could be working with again in the future. I really enjoyed that match, I thought Nathan Frazer gave a great effort, I thought he and Fenix had a great match, it was a perfect debut for Fenix because whoever was putting things together picked one of the best opponents they could possibly pick for Fenix on his first outing, someone who could work his style, someone who could move at his pace. Kudos for that.”
