Hardy Boyz in 'Constant Negotiations' for WWE Return
The Hardy Boyz remain a fixture on the tag-team scene, balancing ongoing talks about additional appearances with one major caveat: their commitment to the promotion where they currently hold tag gold. Matt Hardy says negotiations about future shows are continuous, but both he and Jeff are prioritizing their current run and the chance to help build the company around them.
Talks with WWE continue, but TNA remains the priority
Matt Hardy confirmed the Hardys have re-signed and are in steady discussions about returning to WWE programming. "We're in constant negotiations with WWE about doing some more stuff. We will do more with them, " he said, adding that fans should expect additional Hardy Boyz moments before the end of 2026 (ET). Despite the open door for crossover appearances, Matt was emphatic that their current promotion remains the top focus.
He explained that staying put was a strategic decision: the environment gives the Hardys a platform to succeed while allowing them to nurture the company during its new era. The pair are carrying the TNA World Tag Team Championships and have leaned into the role of elevating talent and storylines around them while still leaving room for high-profile appearances elsewhere.
Their dual commitments have already led to high-profile crossover moments over the past year. The Hardys made history by holding tag titles across different brands at once last October, a milestone they hope to build on with selective appearances that complement their TNA responsibilities rather than compete with them.
Jeff Hardy teases future of the Hardy family in wrestling
Outside of the ring, Jeff Hardy offered a personal update that will resonate with long-time fans: his daughters have shown budding interest in following the family business. "She's asked me about it several times recently, like, 'Dad, you still think about maybe getting that ring one day?'" Jeff said, smiling at the possibility that a new generation of Hardy Girlz could take shape.
Matt also shared anecdotes about his children, revealing a different kind of wrestling curiosity from his middle child, who is intrigued by the creative side of the industry. "He's like, 'I don't know if I wanna get beat up like that, Dad, but can you insult people and make money in wrestling? You can? That's awesome!'" Matt laughed. The comments underline a recurring theme for the Hardys: family and legacy stay central, even as they juggle major business decisions.
On-screen feuds and mentorship continue
The Hardys are currently embroiled in a feud with a dark, character-driven tag team that debuted late last year. Matt praised the newcomers' commitment to character work and reflected on how other creative figures would have engaged with them, noting a missed opportunity for deeper interactions with certain late talents who were fans of their style.
Beyond the immediate rivalries, Matt highlighted a rising wave of younger performers he's worked with closely, singling out a 21-year-old standout from England who has impressed both Hardys with his in-ring poise and mental maturity. The young X-Division champion became the youngest holder of that title at a summer event in July 2025 (ET) and has since been given a platform that includes high-profile matches and crossover television exposure.
Matt called the prospect of mentoring and working with younger stars a major reason the Hardys have chosen to remain where they are. Their approach blends veteran experience with willingness to pop up on larger stages when the timing and creative fit are right — a strategy designed to keep the Hardys relevant, useful, and unpredictable heading into 2026 (ET).
For now, fans can expect intermittent high-profile appearances coupled with long-term storytelling in their tag title run. Whether that culminates in a sustained WWE return or more selective guest spots, the Hardys are making it clear they will pick spots that serve both their legacy and the next generation of performers.
