The Hardy Boyz are back at their ‘birthplace.’
The legendary tag team returned to WWE programming on this week’s NXT. The duo defeated Tavion Heights and Myles Borne in their NXT debut.
They were asked how they feel about the return in a backstage interview after the show. Matt Hardy was the first to comment and said that it feels like being back home where their historic career began:
“It feels incredible. It’s extremely flattering. I mean, we returned home. We’re back at our birthplace. WWE will always be our home. It will always be our birthplace.
Without WWE, we wouldn’t be who we are and we are blessed to have had this 33-year-long career and coming back in NXT, making our debut, wrestling on live television. It was an absolute honor, an absolute blast and thank you for having us.”
It’s Where It All Began: Jeff Hardy
Jeff Hardy then said that it’s very surreal to be back where it all began for them. Hardy, who has been open about his desire to end his career in WWE, claimed that it might be where it all ends:
“Amen. Yeah, this is very surreal. It’s good to be back. It’s where it all began. Maybe it’ll all end here, but for right now we’re Total Nonstop Action, baby. Mixing it up with NXT and the WWE. It don’t get much better.”
The Hardy Boyz were confronted by NXT Tag Team Champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer after their bout. Santino Marella then announced that the TNA tag team champions would defend their titles at the upcoming Roadblock event.
