Among the many top storylines for TNA in 2026 has been The Hardys feud with The Righteous, Vincent and Dutch, a feud that has featured not only echoes from the Hardys’ “Broken” days, but influence from the late WWE star Bray Wyatt. That is sensible, given the ties Matt Hardy, and even The Righteous, must him. While discussing The Righteous feud in an appearance on “Rewind Recap Relive,”<\/a> Hardy revealed that The Righteous were courted by Wyatt about potentially joining him in WWE as members of a brand new stable.<\/p>\n

“There was some extent, too, where Windham, Bray Wyatt, was very keen on bringing The Righteous to WWE with him, when he was doing The Fiend stuff,” Hardy said. “In order that they communicated backwards and forwards quite a bit. So it form of ties into…all of us feel like family, especially all these characters which can be larger than life, form of superhuman to a level, that do these special things and appear not like normal human beings wrestling in a match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“They appear, like, really character driven which can be magical, to a level, and at their core, all of them form of fit into that family. And you understand, myself and Bray, we worked together for a 12 months, and it’s still, it’s hard to consider, it’s hard to consider that he’s gone. He must be here with us still working his magic. But you understand, I’m very pleased with The Righteous and what they’ve done, and what they’ve completed, and the way much they’ve grown in the sector of professional wrestling.”<\/p>\n

In late 2022, shortly after Wyatt’s return to WWE, rumors emerged that The Righteous might be signing as a part of his act, they usually were even spotted in the gang at one “NXT” event. In accordance with Dutch, nonetheless, discussions stalled, and the duo would as a substitute sign with AEW\/Ring of Honor a couple of months later, remaining there until May 2025.<\/p>\n
