On the latest edition of his “Keepin’ It 100” podcast, Konnan addressed the idea of how to have Jeff Hardy back on AEW programming following his legal troubles and suspension.
Konnan opined that Hardy should turn heel based on the events he has experienced to date. The veteran booker also stated that Hardy should demonstrate his intent to avoid the actions that got him into trouble initially.
You can check out a few highlights and listen to the full episode below.
On how Jeff Hardy would be best used by AEW if he returns: “People always expect him to take bumps and he’s willing to take them. Unnecessary. I would turn that motherf**ker heel because, as a nice guy, nice guys always get f**ked over. He’s probably got a lot of pent-up aggression from people that wronged him. He could dip into that and not have to fly because now he’s a heel that can do one or two cool moves because he’s still a legend.”
On how Konnan feels about the possibility of getting Hardy back in the ring: “I would want to use him, but he would have to convince me.”
