Matt Hardy Discusses Teaming With John Hennigan At AAA Triplemania XXX: Tijuana
Matt Hardy had another Hardy with him at AAA Triplemania XXX: Tijuana in Johnny Hardy (aka John Hennigan), and he weighed in on the match in his latest podcast. Hennigan made a surprise appearance at the AA show last weekend, replacing Jeff Hardy in a losing effort against Dragon Lee & Dralistico.
In the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Matt talked about teaming with Morrison and said that he was “very proud” of the match while putting over both Hennigan and his opponents.
“Yeah, there’s another — Johnny Hardy, another doppelganger. It was a lot of fun. It was a long day. But it was a very productive and good day. I enjoyed it in the big scheme of things,” Hardy said of teaming with Hennigan (per Fightful). “I haven’t been to Mexico since 2018, that was the last time I went with WWE. So just going to Mexico, having a four-hour meet-and-greet where I interacted with so many enthusiastic, so many amazing Mexican fans. American fans were there as well.”
He continued, “But it was a huge event. It was an outside packed house, packed stadium, and I was very proud of the match that myself and Johnny Hardy aka John Morrison, aka Johnny Mundo, aka Johnny IMPACT, aka Johnny Elite, I was very proud of our match against the Lee brothers. Those guys are extremely talented, and it makes me, once again, be very envious that I’m not in my 20s again. These guys can do everything. So it was a lot of fun. We went on last and I thought that was pretty cool to go to Triplemania and main event on your first shot. That was very cool.”
Matt is not currently set to compete at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, which takes place on Sunday.
