Matt Hardy recently appeared as a guest on WWE Hall Of Famer Jim Ross’ weekly Ross Report podcast to talk about various topics. Just last month, it was reported that Hardy would be taking an extended break to deal with nagging injuries and he has been “shadowing” WWE producers behind the scenes and is transitioning to a backstage role with the company.
Hardy talked about potentially becoming a full-time producer or road agent for the company as he stated that it interests him and something that has been talked about. He brought up doing it in the past and possibility part of his future.
He stated that he’s confident once he returns to WWE TV that he’ll have a role on-screen but will also in a behind the scenes role. “I don’t know if that day could be in 4 weeks from now, or 4 years, or 10 years from now. But I’m sure I’ll do that at some juncture.”
Hardy also talked about potentially making the decision to retire from pro wrestling, which is something that people have asked him. He stated, “I’m at crossroads where I’m not 100% sure about what my in-ring future is, but as far as my television role on WWE that will 100% be something in the future.”
Hardy continued by stating that he’s not sure in what capacity exactly but doesn’t think retirement is something he’ll never do because of his passion and love for pro wrestling. He added that he wants to be involved in some way. “Retirement is not something that will be in my future.”
