Matt Hardy says fans are going to see a new version of him, and The Hardys collectively, soon.
On the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, Hardy pointed out that he has hit his head multiple times throughout his career. Co-host Jon Alba quipped that Hardy was giving the internet some material for headlines. Hardy responded and went on to note that he and Jeff Hardy are not becoming heels, they are becoming real.

“Let them go nuts. Let them have fun,” Matt Hardy said. “If you’re one of those fans online that get mad that all the internet wrestling reporters post stuff and make headlines because we talk about interesting viewpoints, interesting opinions, if you get mad about all that and you don’t like me and you think I’m a pariah, fine. Have it your way. There’s plenty of people that don’t, and those are the people that I am catering to now.
“Because once again, even at AEW, myself and Jeff, we’ve been very, very nice for a long time. We were willing to give back and give back and give back, but now, we really haven’t been shown the respect that we should have been getting all along, so now we’ll stop giving, and we’ll start taking. So we’re not becoming heel. We are becoming real. You are gonna see the most realistic version of Matt Hardy that you’ve ever seen coming up in the future.”
Matt Hardy recently said he will let his body determine how long he can keep wrestling. Check out his comments here.
