On a recent edition of his “Extreme Life” podcast, Matt Hardy discussed the state of AEW’s tag team division, the Lucha Brothers potentially leaving AEW for WWE, and more.
You possibly can try some highlights from the podcast below:
On the state of AEW’s tag team division: “I feel they’ve type of been focused, once more on constructing their larger stars. They’ve been focused on attempting to get something hot, something attempting to catch fire because that’s what they’ve needed to do. And it’s almost just like the tag team scene is type of taking a backseat in some ways. And that does suck because there have been so many — , at one point, you concentrate on how loaded the tag team division was, and there still is other great tag teams in there. Nevertheless it’s — with AEW, once more, that is something we probably talking about in our conversation too. Like following through. Once someone starts constructing some momentum, it’s so essential to follow through with them in order that hopefully they’ll get hot, they’ll catch fire, whatever it could be. And sometimes AEW has a problem doing that. Sometimes it just doesn’t occur.”
On the Lucha Bros leaving AEW for WWE: “Yeah I mean, they’re considered one of the OGs. They’re a few the founding talents and really staples of the tag team division. And I do know we’ve talked about this, they’re probably the Young Bucks’ biggest opponents too, which is an enormous deal those guys, those guys stepping away. In the event that they do find yourself stepping away.”
On Lucha Bros being huge in AEW: “I do, especially with how much they’re playing towards the Hispanic market at the present time. And particularly, , occurring tours in Mexico and South America. You understand, they might be huge. They might be huge.”
