Matt Hardy teases a new direction for The Hardys in AEW.
Since The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) reunited in AEW, they have been presented as fan-favorite veterans. But the duo has come up short in their quest to win the AEW World Tag Team Championship up to this point, and it seems like they might be taking a new approach soon.
Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the AEW star noted that he takes supplements, as he has hit his head a few times over the years. Co-host Jon Alba joked that Hardy gave the internet plenty of fodder. Hardy responded by stating that some people might not like him, but plenty of others do, He then teased that he and Jeff have been nice in AEW, but they're going to stop giving and start taking. Matt stated that fans will see the most realistic version of himself soon.
“Let them go nuts. Let them have fun. If you’re one of those fans online that get mad that all the internet wrestling reporters post stuff and make headlines because we talk about interesting viewpoints, interesting opinions, if you get mad about all that and you don’t like me and you think I’m a pariah, fine. Have it your way. There’s plenty of people that don’t, and those are the people that I am catering to now. Because once again, even at AEW, myself and Jeff, we’ve been very, very nice for a long time. We were willing to give back and give back and give back, but now, we really haven’t been shown the respect that we should have been getting all along, so now we'll stop giving, and we'll start taking. So we're not becoming heel. We are becoming real. You are gonna see the most realistic version of Matt Hardy that you’ve ever seen coming up in the future," Hardy said.
