Jeff Hardy Is Very Excited About AEW, Loves The Young Bucks, Calls Ali an ‘Incredible’ Talent

– Gorilla Position recently interviewed WWE Superstar Jeff Hardy ahead of WrestleMania 35. He also shared his thoughts on the upcoming AEW promotion, which he’s excited for. Below are some highlights.

Jeff Hardy on the reaction to The Hardys’ return at WrestleMania 33: “That’s the best, ya know. It beats jumping off any ladder, off any high structure. That was the moment, and I think the No. 1 moment in Matt and my career for sure because it don’t get any better than that, man. After being gone for nine years or whatever it was, and coming back to that welcoming applause, it was insane.”

Jeff Hardy on Ali: “Not really any at all. I’m just like, ‘Keep doing what you do’ because watching him [Mustafa Ali] in 205 Live and just even recently, I think Daniel Bryan, he [Mustafa Ali] did a 450 off the apron and I said, ‘Have you ever done that before?’ He said, ‘Yeah I did it one time in 205’. I said how do you do that? It was just so insane — the stuff they do and it’s like they keep raising the bar somehow. And so — but yeah, he’s one of my favorite wrestlers right now. When people ask me, ‘Who’s the next kind of Jeff Hardy?’ He’s by far…. He’s the first Mustafa Ali but he’s way better than I was at what he’s doing. I mean I never did anything that insane, and he’s incredible.”

Jeff Hardy on his fond memories of the Broken Universe: “Yeah for sure man. It’s a lot to look back on, and it’s very exciting. I pray that we somehow can go in and out of the Broken Universe moving forward because that was some of the most creative stuff we’ve ever done back when we started the whole — Matt became broken, and it was just a beautiful thing. And hopefully, we’ll get back to that because I still have a lot of crazy, cool ideas that I think could work very well in the WWE.”

His thoughts on AEW: “I’m so excited. We love the Young Bucks, man. To see that [Chris] Jericho’s there, I mean it’s so exciting to see what that becomes. I can’t wait to watch that first show and get a feel for what it looks like, how it’s gonna be, the longevity it might consist of, so it’s always exciting for a new company to come through and see what happens.”
