Matt Hardy returned to TNA at the TNA Rebellion PPV back in April of 2024, when he appeared after Moose successfully defended the TNA World Title against Nic Nemeth. Matt would make a statement by taking out Moose and holding up the TNA World Title belt.
His brother Jeff followed him about two months later when he returned to TNA in June of 2024 at the TNA Against All Odds LIVE monthly special. Jeff came out to a HUGE crowd ovation and ran down to the ring to help his brother from a beat down at the hands of The System.
During a recent interview with the “I Love Wrestling Podcast,” the brothers reflected on their time in the Jacksonville-based promotion, and commented on being proud of their recent run in TNA.
“We don’t feel like we got the opportunities we should have got, especially towards the end. And we just wanted to prove to ourselves that we were still very valuable and I think that match proved how much value we had. The whole resurgence of TNA and the partnership with WWE and everything else. I mean, TNA’s got a lot of great things going on right now.”
Jeff then expressed his gratitude for TNA, stating that he was going through a rough patch in his life a few years ago, and feels that winning the titles with Matt was a moment of redemption for him.
“In my personal life, almost burning everything down in 2022 and ending everything. To win the titles again and to have that moment and that feeling with my brother was like, okay, I’ve rebuilt again, not to burn it down. So, that was a great feeling as well.”
Jeff continued by revealing that the insane cable ladder spot he performed at Slammiversary earlier this year was a move he’d been wanting to try since TLC 2 at WrestleMania 17, and was thrilled TNA was able to make it happen.
