Matt Hardy Addresses Jeff Hardy’s ‘Erratic Behavior’ and Exit at WWE House Show

– During The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, AEW star Matt Hardy addressed the erratic behavior by his brother, Jeff Hardy, that led to Hardy’s WWE release last December. During a tag team match at a live event in Edinburgh, Texas, Hardy walked out through the crowd while the match was still going on, and he appeared to be acting erratically. Last week’s AEW Dynamite even referenced the incident with Matt Hardy making a similar exit during the show. Below are some highlights (via WrestlingInc.com):

Matt on the days of feuding with Jeff in wrestling being done: “The days of Matt and Jeff Hardy going head to head, they’re probably done. We’re teammates, we’re not opponents.”

On Jeff’s bizarre behavior at the Edinburg house show: “He’s good. When he wants to share this story, he will I’m sure. But I mean, he ended up being exhausted after driving all night, he was on late in the dark Smackdown, the last match. They had a 300 miles plus drive and he got in early in the morning and then he had a family emergency and then he was up early. I think he was just exhausted and shot and probably beat up at the same time. And he was also very stressed out from his WWE job as well, you know? I think for him sometimes, he kinda gets in his head. Especially if he’s alone on the road and whatnot. I think it’s better with me there too. I think he feels a little more comfortable because he really can get in his own head.”
