In a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the veteran wrestler shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated match between CM Punk and Drew McIntyre, which is expected to take place once Punk recovers from his triceps injury. Hardy, who recently parted ways with AEW and made his return to TNA, expressed his excitement about the impending showdown, citing the personal grudge between the two superstars as a major selling point.
Hardy, who has had the privilege of wrestling and teaming with both Punk and McIntyre in the past, believes that the match would be a main event-worthy bout even without titles on the line. His co-host, Jon Alba, agreed, suggesting that the Punk-McIntyre feud has been expertly crafted to make fans forget that Punk is currently sidelined with an injury.
Hardy praised WWE for doing a “great job” of keeping Punk “relevant, present, and current” on TV and in the storylines despite his injury. The veteran wrestler emphasized the importance of drama in pro wrestling, stating that the ongoing feud has only added fuel to the fire, making the eventual match a must-see event.
Meanwhile, Hardy has been keeping busy himself, making his return to TNA last month and reviving his popular “Broken” gimmick at the Rebellion event. Over the weekend, he teamed up with Mike Bailey and Trent Seven as The Broken Brethren, taking on World Champion Moose and World Tag Team Champions The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers) in a 24-minute main event at Under Siege.
Interestingly, Hardy’s last TNA match came in 2017, where he defeated none other than Drew Galloway, aka Drew McIntyre. With his recent return to TNA, fans can expect to see more of Hardy’s signature antics and matches that will surely have them on the edge of their seats.
As for the highly anticipated Punk-McIntyre match, wrestling fans will be eagerly waiting for Punk’s return to the ring, and the drama that will unfold when these two wrestling titans finally clash.
