Current Raw star and former WWE Champion Jeff Hardy has spoken about AEW and how it is “more open-minded” than WWE is.
Speaking with ESPN, Hardy spoke pretty openly about AEW, and noted how he’s proud both he and his brother Matt are being successful in different promotions
Jeff Hardy said:
“It’s really cool. Matt is in AEW and before the pandemic hit their crowds were just incredibly on fire. It was so exciting watching them. They’re very different than WWE. I don’t know how to explain it but they’re like, more open minded. WWE is kind of set in their ways.
“It’s changed many times over the years, especially since the Attitude Era. It’s way different. Thank goodness we don’t hit each other in the head with chairs anymore, because I worry about that. It’s a lot safer now. But for me to be where I am in WWE now and for Matt to be in the other wrestling world, it’s so cool. It’s cool we can go our separate ways and still be successful.”
Hardy also discussed comparisons to AEW’s TNT Champion Darby Allin, which you can read more about at this link.
