In a twist worthy of the best wrestling storylines, the legendary Hardy Boyz, Jeff and Matt, recently met with WWE officials, sparking rumors of a potential return. The meeting took place on August 2, ahead of the highly anticipated SummerSlam event at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
According to PWInsider, the multi-time WWE tag champs had an early morning rendezvous with WWE brass and even filmed some content for WWE’s digital platforms. While the specifics of their discussions remain under wraps, the meeting has set the wrestling world abuzz with speculation.
Despite their prominent presence in TNA Wrestling, the Hardys are currently free agents. They’ve been actively involved with TNA, including scheduled appearances for this weekend’s “Impact” tapings in Tampa, Florida, and a signing at WrestleCon’s Destination Cleveland on Friday.
Fightful Select reports that the former TNA World Tag Team Champions were invited to film interviews and content while in town for WrestleCon. Sources within WWE have downplayed the significance of the meeting, suggesting it’s all part of routine content creation. However, sources outside the company believe there’s more to the story and that the Hardys could make a surprise appearance at some stage.
The Hardy Boyz, who only recently returned to TNA after their AEW contracts expired earlier this year, have been vocal about their interest in making an appearance in “WWE NXT.” They specifically mentioned the NXT Tag Team titles as a missing piece in their illustrious careers. With another TNA crossover set for next week’s “NXT Great American Bash,” featuring Zachary Wentz and Wes Lee challenging Axiom and Nathan Frazer for the titles, the interpromotional collaboration is in full swing.
While the Hardy Boyz’s future remains uncertain, one thing is clear: their meeting with WWE officials has reignited the possibility of seeing the iconic duo back in the WWE ring. Wrestling fans worldwide will be eagerly watching for any developments as SummerSlam approaches.
