Various: Jeff Hardy on His AEW Signing, Sat. NJPW Strong Card, Indies

Jeff Hardy Comments on His Signing with AEW

This past Wednesday’s episode of AEW Dynamite featured the official AEW debut of Jeff Hardy. Hardy made his surprise debut during the AHFO meeting segment which involved his brother Matt being kicked out of the group and attacked as punishment. Hardy, Sting, and Darby Allin all came to the aid of Matt.

Hardy was the guest at a recent virtual signing event for Signed By Superstars and one of the topics discussed included his thoughts on his official signing and debut in AEW.

“It was great. It’s always nerve-racking to appear in a new world. After I went out there and felt the energy of the people. It felt extremely right … Definitely teaming with Matt again. This last run is going to be the best one.”

Hardy also gave his thoughts about the potential of a singles run in the company and the possibility of AEW getting the rights to other theme songs from his career.

“Possibly bringing ‘Another Me’ back from TNA. What would be really cool is if they could get the rights to ‘No More Words’ because I was really excited to come out to that for when (Matt & I) aren’t teaming.”
