Matt Hardy Supports R-Truth Getting a World Title Run – Matt Hardy has joined the growing number of voices supporting the idea of R-Truth receiving a world championship opportunity in WWE. Speaking on his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy addressed recent comments from JBL, who advocated for WWE to reward Truth’s popularity with a title run.
Hardy, known for embracing unconventional wrestling ideas throughout his career—including his “Broken” persona—said he sees value in capitalizing on R-Truth’s current momentum with fans.
“I mean, I’m not opposed to radical ideas, you know, I’m the man who did Broken Matt Hardy… Truth really, really just saw such an outpouring, such a groundswell of WWE fan base support, right? And he is probably the most over he’s been in his career. Everything he touches is white hot right now, so I am not opposed to it.”
Hardy continued, noting that even if it were short-lived, a world title run for R-Truth could realistically work due to his overwhelming popularity.
“You know, it’s one of those things where they realistically might make it work, even if it was a short-term thing. But with that same thing being said, I know they have great plans, and they want to plan for the future as well, and that also is very important. But you never know, this thing could be snuck in there and it could happen.”
Hardy emphasized that fan investment is the most important metric for a wrestler’s success—something R-Truth clearly has in abundance.
“When it’s all said and done, I think at the end of the day, how much the crowd is emotionally invested in a character is the most important barometer of the levels that someone reaches.”
The timing of Hardy’s endorsement is noteworthy, as R-Truth is set to challenge Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena on tonight’s SmackDown. While the match is expected to be entertaining, Hardy’s comments may add fuel to the growing sentiment that Truth deserves more than just comedic segments.
