– Karl Anderson recently spoke with USA Today, here are the highlights…

The Hardy’s Return at WrestleMania: “We found out a couple of hours before we had to work. We had some kind of expectation because the rumors were flying for a couple of weeks. The day of is when we got word they were coming. We were all very happy with it. At the end of the day, Jeff and Matt Hardy helped make the WWE tag team division what it is. The ladder tag team matches they had at WrestleMania in the past made those matches famous. Being in there at WrestleMania with Matt and Jeff Hardy was an honor in itself. It was a great moment to be part of and I’m glad we got that.”

On His First Year in WWE: “It was a crash course in WWE. One week you’ll be beating people up and being physical and the next week you’ll be doing entertaining things and trying to develop a story. It’s something we always wanted to do. “We love the physical aspect and we love the entertaining aspect. A lot of the Bullet Club stuff that what we did in New Japan was based on having fun and being entertaining, but when it was time to get in the ring, we could handle business there too. I’m looking forward to seeing what we do next.”

On The WWE Tag Team Division: “Ever since we showed up in the WWE, The New Day was on top and to see them leave the RAW tag team division, you can tell it’s different,” Anderson said. “Having the Hardy Boyz come back at WrestleMania, that’s a bonus. To have guys like Jeff Hardy and Matt Hardy who have been all over the world and gotten so famous and are still really good at what they do is really cool. The Revival, they’re two of the best as well. Cesaro and Sheamus have come into their own and they’ve been around WWE for a long time. There’s a lot of good tag teams coming up.”
