During the latest edition of his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, AEW wrestler Matt Hardy commented on the original plan for The Firm Deletion match. According to Hardy, it was supposed to be a singles match between himself and Ethan Page. He said,
“We were talking about having me vs. Ethan [Page] and having Private Party involved… I have to give Tony Khan credit for this, he said, ‘What if we did a big tag match with Jeff?’”
Isiah Kassidy later chimed in to discuss his dive off of Matt Hardy’s roof. He added,
“I knew going into this match I wanted to have at least one big moment… that’s when I texted Matt and said, ‘I want to jump off your roof.’”
While the jump was supposed to be a crossbody, Jeff suggested that Kassidy use the Swanton instead.
