Matt Hardy has had his say on the current storyline playing out on WWE SmackDown involving his brother Jeff Hardy and Sheamus.
During the program, Sheamus has made constant references to Jeff’s past with addiction and alcoholism, something that has made a lot of fans very uncomfortable.
Replying to a Twitter user who was voicing those very concerns, Jeff’s older brother Matt responded:
I’m very happy with how AEW has let me brand my persona. Allowing me to help younger talent on & off screen, while also respectfully celebrating my legacy & contributions to the industry. I have those same concerns about the unneeded pressure on my brother.
He was also asked about something we noted earlier, which was a clip from a new WWE Network documentary which showed Vince McMahon’s calling Jeff’s match against Sheamus at Backlash “f**cking awesome”. To that, Matt replied:
Make no mistake, from what I’ve seen Jeff do in-ring, he’s looked incredible. As a performer, I praise his recent performances. Ultimately, whatever he does is his decision & his alone. My take on his current story is merely *my opinion*, which doesn’t make it right or wrong.
