Speaking to Sports Illustrated, Matt Hardy spoke about his excitement over staying in TNA Wrestling, saying:

“It’s exciting. It’s exciting for us. We really believe in the direction that TNA is going. They’ve got a lot of big plans for 2025.

“They’ve taken great care of us. They have put myself and Jeff in positions to succeed, which we’re very grateful for.

“We love the crew there, from the boys and the girls in the locker room to the management. Everyone and everything is really clicking right now. It feels like the unity is strong. The brand is growing again. I see a lot of upward mobility for TNA over the course of the next year. Jeff and I will be part of that for the next year.”

With the tag team seemingly set for the whole of 2025 in TNA Wrestling, Matt was asked about the factors that convinced the Hardy Boys to re-sign, going on to state:

“We worked on a handshake deal all the way through to winning the titles and having the titles for a month. So it’s been a great relationship with trust between us and TNA management.

“Everything they’ve said they were going to do, they followed through with. Everything we said we were going to do, we followed through with. It just feels right.

“Jeff was very adamant about it. Jeff is really enjoying this run in TNA. He’s feeling confident. Last week, we were in Fayetteville, NC, where we first won our first major set of World Tag Team Titles, which was in July 1999.

“Jeff and I were in the ring as we had a couple matches. One match we were with Jake Something, Trent Seven and Hammerstone. And the next night, we worked with The System. And we said, ‘Man, both nights the crowd was so hot, and we both feel very good physically. I said it felt like we were wrestling in the year 2000, 2001’.

“It’s like we turned back time. Everything’s clicking. We’re very happy with what we’re doing there, and we want to do what we can to help build TNA back into one of the top brands in pro wrestling.”

Hardy would compare his past runs in Impact Wrestling with the work he is doing now stating that a change of management meant the “right people weren’t put in the right places.”

Talking about the current management, he would state that Anthem has “people in the role of the bosses that know wrestling.”
