Adding to the night’s significance, Matt and Jeff Hardy will also make their return to WWE, competing against No Quarter Catch Crew’s Tavion Heights and Myles Borne. The Hardys’ presence is part of WWE’s ongoing collaboration with TNA.
On his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy shared his thoughts on Saints’ move to NXT and reflected on their time together in AEW.
