• Matt Hardy On His Tag Team With Bray Wyatt: “We Have A Much Bigger Potential If Given The Opportunity”
During a recent interview with The Philly Voice, RAW Tag Team Champion Matt Hardy talked about teaming up with Bray Wyatt, if he thought Jeff Hardy would be on the same brand with him, Brother Nero and more.
Below are the highlights:
On teaming up with Bray Wyatt:
“I think Bray is an extremely talented competitor and performer. I’m a big fan of his work. I’m glad I was able to cure him of Sister Abigail and now we’re teaming up. I think there’s still a much bigger potential with the two of us if we get the opportunity to explore that role, which is something we’re working on right now and it’ll happen eventually.”
On if he thought Jeff Hardy would be on the same brand with him, Brother Nero:
“I didn’t know. Those types of things are obviously over my head. I would love to have Jeff involved. Jeff is totally fine being on his own as the ‘Charismatic Enigma’ Jeff Hardy. He’s totally fine being Brother Nero. I think Brother Nero would be good for him for career longevity, but I think Jeff can go to SmackDown and be amazing and be the ‘Charismatic Enigma’ and he can do everything he can do in that persona, and if we need to utilize him as Brother Nero, we can do that whenever.”
