Matt Hardy recently discussed his plans on possibly going after New Japan Pro Wrestling’s IWGP World Tag Team Championships.
Speaking on his “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, the “Broken One” said the following,
“I really hate that we didn’t get to win the AEW World Tag Team Titles when we got that first shot at them. New Japan definitely stands out. That would be something that would be great to put on our list.”
The Hardys were set to compete for, and reportedly go on to win the AEW World Tag Team Championships earlier this year, but it didn’t happen due to Jeff Hardy‘s arrest on DUI charges. Since then, Jeff has been in rehab whereas Matt has largely been off AEW TV.
“The Broken One” was also asked which defunct title he would most like to go after. He had seemingly given this a lot of thought and shared a concept that only Matt Hardy can dream of. He said,
“We were going to start doing this [House Hardy] series as a regular on the [WWE] Network. We were going to kind of be able to contain the Broken Universe right there and do whatever we want. One of the things I was really set on doing was, I wanted to teleport back in time to Philadelphia to the ECW Arena, and I wanted to shoot something in the ECW Arena where we fought The Dudley Boyz for the ECW Tag Team Titles and defeated them.”
Matt Hardy already seems to be brainstorming ideas ahead of Brother Nero’s eventual return to professional wrestling.
