Matt Hardy has been in AEW for three years now. He first appeared on the March 18 episode of “AEW Dynamite” in Daily’s Place, right as the COVID-19 pandemic was starting to spread. Hardy worked as “Broken Matt Hardy” for the first few months. During that time, he competed in Stadium Stampede with The Elite against the Inner Circle. After that, he went back to being “Matt Hardy.”
In an interview with the “Daily Mail,” Hardy talked about his first match in AEW. He said as he has in the past, that if he could do it all over again, his first match in AEW would probably go a little differently than it did on TV.
“Looking back, in hindsight, if I would have known there weren’t going to be any fans for a year-and-a-half and if I knew there was going to be a pandemic, which obviously no one could have predicted that, I probably wouldn’t have started as Broken Matt Hardy,” Hardy said. “I would have started just as a regular version of Matt.
“Broken Matt Hardy is such a fan-driven character, you know, just everything he does from the taunts to the people of hearing him say words crazy, whatever it may be. It definitely is driven and fuelled by fans being in the arena. So that’s what I would probably have done differently. I would just come in, like Matt Hardy babyface, one-half of the Hardy Boys as opposed to doing Broken Matt Hardy from the jump,” said Hardy.
Hardy got back together with his brother Jeff when Jeff joined AEW last year. The boys work together all the time on AEW TV.
