– Speaking to Sam Roberts at Ringside Collectibles’ Ringside Fest, Matt Hardy played booker when asked who he’d like to face at WrestleMania 35 inside MetLife Stadium.
“Now that he is back, Shawn Michaels,” Hardy said. “If you have him back on the table, you just have to take advantage and utilize him.”
“I would say the person I would want to induct myself and my brother would be the person who took us under his wing and taught us more about the wrestling business than anyone else. That is Michael P.S. Hayes,” Hardy continued. “I’m sure his intro would be long but it would be super good, because he is entertaining as hell.”
