WWE has uploaded a Hardy Boys interview special to the WWE Network titled, Reborn by Fate: Hardys Interview. Matt and Jeff recently sat down with Corey Graves to discuss their surprise returns at WrestleMania, winning the tag team titles on their first night back, what it’s like to be home in WWE and more.
When asked what’s different about the WWE locker room since their last run with the company, Matt said the vibe is much more and the talent is more athletic than ever. Jeff said he didn’t watch a lot of WWE television before their return and felt somewhat intimidated by the current crop of Superstars.
Matt joked that since he’s in his 40’s and Jeff will be 40 this summer, the term “Hardy Men” might be more of an appropriate name than Hardy Boys.
Of course, what would a ‘Hardy Men’ interview be without an update on the status of Matt and Jeff bringing the Broken Universe to WWE. “I definitely think there is a chance,” Matt said. “It’s a work in progress. Unfortunately, because of legal reasons, I really can’t go into it right now but I find it very flattering and humbling that every time we come and wrestle in front of the WWE Universe, they chant and they address it and they acknowledge it.”
Matt continued, “When it happens, and I’m not even going to say if, when it happens, it’s going to be the most exciting thing to hit WWE programming in a long, long time. We’ve got to keep people guessing.”
Corey Graves brought up the fact that both Matt and Jeff have battled demons in the past and questioned if they find it difficult working the WWE schedule again. Matt says it’s not for him, since he’s accepted the changes that along with getting older. Previously, he’d work himself into the ground and compete no matter how bad his body was feeling. Jeff said temptation is obsolete for him. He’s been there and done that with partying. Now, he looks forward to time on the road and looks forward to returning home to be with his family. Both said their families motivate them to stay clean and both look forward to resuming their singles careers in WWE when the time is right.
The special includes unseen footage from WrestleMania, including Matt and Jeff arriving in secrecy and hiding in a tour bus and the backstage reaction to the surprise after their match.
You can watch Reborn by Fate now on the WWE Network.
