Matt Hardy: “I One-Hundred Percent Expected To Get Back To Being “Broken/Woken”

“Woken” Matt Hardy was recently interviewed by PhillyVoice, to promote a live event in Philadelphia this Friday evening. He discussed a number of topics, including teaming with Bray Wyatt, reverting to the Woken/Broken character, a future singles run and more.

Below are some questions, along with Hardy’s answers:

PhillyVoice: You’re now RAW Tag Team Champions with Bray Wyatt, a guy who you sort of had a social media feud with years ago before returning to WWE. When you came back to WWE, did that just completely go away or was it blown out of proportion?

Matt Hardy: “Long-term booking, my friend. I think Bray is an extremely talented competitor and performer. I’m a big fan of his work. I’m glad I was able to cure him of Sister Abigail and now we’re teaming up. I think there’s still a much bigger potential with the two of us if we get the opportunity to explore that role, which is something we’re working on right now and it’ll happen eventually.”

With your current “Broken” character being utilized, did you think when you re-signed WWE that this character would be used at all? Or would it just be “The Hardys” with your brother?

“I one hundred percent expected to get back to being “Broken/Woken.” A whole lot of things were going on with Impact. The situation was publicly known, so there were some issues going on there. I was confident and I know within my heart, it was all of my creation. Everything about it would point to me owning it in every capacity. I knew it would happen, it was just a matter of when.

“The essence never left me. When I came back and I was just “The Hardys” with my brother, there was always that essence within me, because that’s really part of me now. It was a question of “when” and not “if.”

Despite being a tag team champion, you’ve enjoyed much singles success in WWE and elsewhere. Do you have any World Title aspirations at this time?

“Right now, because I am half of the RAW Tag Team Champions with Bray, my initial goal for the immediate future is to make the tag team division as good as possible and have a good, entertaining title reign. I think I’m almost at the stage of my career where I’m more focused on wanting to do entertaining, great television programming as opposed to necessarily being a champion or winning titles.

“There are guys here that are so amazing. Seth Rollins is one guy that stands out. He is just an amazing performer. I love watching him, he’s truly poetry in motion. There are a lot of guys like that, and yes, I can’t lie, I would love to be able to work with those guys and have some great 20, 30-minute matches. And I think that’s something that will happen at some point in the future. As far as making it a goal to be the champion, I don’t know if that’s necessarily something that I’m focused on now. If a scenario like that came around, I think that’d be amazing. I’m trying to have fun and my goal is to be as entertaining to the audience as possible.”

They also discuss the Philadelphia audience, NXT and more.
