Plans changed for Matt Hardy in June when his brother Jeff Hardy was arrested for driving under the influence. Jeff was suspended by AEW on June 14 and entered rehab. The Hardy Boys were scheduled to challenge for the AEW Tag Team Championships on June 15.
Matt has been on and off television during that time, but is currently involved in a storyline with Private Party (Isiah Kassidy & Marq Quen) and Ethan Page.
Speaking to Inside The Ropes, Matt was asked about teaming with Jeff whenever he returns.
"Yes, I would like to go out as the Hardy Boys. That's how we came in and I think we'd like to go out on that note and we'd like to do everything we can in AEW together. It was really interesting for me, once again, very frustrating. Starting in COVID was very frustrating, once Jeff and I started to get our feet under us as the Hardy Boys, things happened, which was very frustrating. I was kind of lost at that time. I end up pitching a thing to reunite and reconcile with Private Pary and that's what we've been doing. We've been doing a lot of content that hasn't necessarily lived on the TV programming all the time. It has here and there, but there's stuff with me getting them away from Andrade, now that Ethan Page has their contract. I'm trying to make things right with them and we're reunited. The Elevation and Dark content has been really fun," he said. "I definitely want to have a great run in AEW with Jeff and that is my goal, whenever that happens, it happens. Until then, I am happy that I'm keeping my time busy and involved in a story on programming."
It is unknown when Jeff will return to AEW television.
Matt was on Wednesday's AEW Dynamite, being chastised and sent to the back by Ethan Page and Stokely Hathaway after he got the crowd chanting "Delete!' with him.
