Jeff Hardy recently revealed why he turned down an offer to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
In an interview with Fightful, Jeff explained that WWE approached him with a solo induction, but he declined because he wanted to be inducted alongside his brother Matt.
Reflecting on the decision, Jeff said, “Eventually I denied it.
I was just in a bad place after my dad had passed away and I just got to a point that there was no return, something had to happen, but it just didn’t feel right when they offered it to me.”
Matt Hardy also expressed his thoughts on a potential TNA Hall of Fame induction, emphasizing the importance of being recognized as a team, “I would. I mean, I feel like we’re kind of at that point in our career where we kind of reach that status where people will commonly refer us as legends.
As great as that feels, we’re still just doing our thing. We were two teenage kids from Podunk, North Carolina. But, yeah, absolutely.
It’s a great honor and if someone is willing to bestow that honor upon you, yeah, I would definitely be up for it.”
Matt shared that Jeff’s decision to decline WWE’s offer was rooted in their brotherhood.
“It is a story that Jeff told me, he called me right after whenever he left WWE and they offered to put him in the Hall of Fame, but it would have been solo because I was with AEW and he said, ‘No, I want to do it with Matt,’ which was real cool and I feel like any Hall of Fame that we go into first, that’s how we should go into it, as a team.”
