In late 2023, Matt Hardy addressed his recent comments about the creative direction for him and his brother Jeff in AEW being “very frustrating.” Matt mentioned the following during his podcast:
“I can say that it was 1,000% real. That was the real, genuine Matt Hardy. That was the real, authentic Jeff Hardy, speaking from the heart, speaking very honestly, speaking very truthfully.”
Matt later said in a social media promo that The Hardys are living legends and “the disrespect will no longer be tolerated.”
In a now deleted Instagram post, Jeff mocked his position in AEW by writing the following: “We, ‘TheHardys’ will not be appearing on this live show called #AEWDynamite. We, ‘TheHardys’ are stuck in the dimension of, ‘AEWRampage.’”
