Matt Hardy Reveals Which WWE Wrestler He Wants To Face Before He Retires

While Jeff Hardy is adamant that he wants to face The Undertaker before he retires, his brother has a different WWE star in mind as a future opponent. In a recent interview with Sports Illustrated, Matt Hardy revealed that he wants to step in the ring with none other than WWE’s Bray Wyatt. Hardy, somewhat in character as “Broken” Matt Hardy, said that he has “fondness and appreciation” for “the Bray Wyatt.”

“I see that he is driven by a higher power, much like I am driven and motivated and inspired and given strength by the Seven Deities,” Hardy said. “I respect how he doesn’t walk the normal path, he carves his own. I would love, one day down that road, to show up in WWE and have a match with the Bray Wyatt. I would love to bring him to my battlefield and delete him–that would be my honor.”

Hardy and Wyatt had a brief Twitter spat, following WWE airing a “Wyatt compound” segment that some felt was in reaction to TNA’s “Final Deletion” segment.
