Jeff Hardy recently appeared as a guest on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy for an in-depth interview covering all things pro wrestling.
During the episode, The Hardy Brothers revealed some behind-the-scenes information regarding Jeff Hardy's contract with AEW as well as how Matt Hardy helped speed along the process, and signed a contract extension himself as well.
Featured below are some of the highlights from the show where the two touch on these topics.
Jeff Hardy on thinking his debut would get delayed because he leaked he was going to AEW: "I was crazy nervous that whole day. It was so bizarre. The night before, I had no idea what time my flight would be, if I was going. I kept telling myself, ‘they’re probably going to wait until next week because…’ the interview I did at one of my music shows got leaked and I pretty much plainly said, ‘I’m going to AEW. I didn’t know until this morning.’ People went crazy. ‘Oh, that’s a spoiler,’ but it really wasn’t. All that was rushing through my mind and I thought, ‘Maybe they won’t do it tomorrow."
Matt Hardy on signing an AEW contract extension on March 10 and how he helped speed along Jeff Hardy signing with the company: "Tony (Khan) wasn’t going to speak to him until his contract was totally done. We were planting the seeds of me turning babyface and being able to re-team with Jeff at some point in the future, there wasn’t a set time of when it would happen for sure. That day, he literally didn’t have his travel until 6 and 7 that morning. He couldn’t get on the same flight as me because they were sold out. Even during that day, they were like, ‘Matt, you have this new contract, we can extend yours, you know how your contract is, what if we just offered Jeff that same thing?’ I was handling all of these things and passing that information on and expedite this process and do it swiftly."
