OK, so this is just a bit of fun and only here 'cause Matt Hardy talked about it during a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet. The interviewer wanted to know what Matt thought about fans fantasy booking a Hardy Boyz return at WrestleMania 40. Their tip off? The fact WWE has booked a multi-team ladder bout.

Hardy's AEW future is still up in the air, but he has revealed that a new contract with Tony Khan's company is in the works. There's also doubts over whether or not he and Jeff's deals expired around the same time. Basically, there's a lot going against this idea, but Matt himself added: "Never say never".

So, why would The Hardys at 'Mania 40 be a nightmare? Well, there's a 'been there, done that' feel to them returning this way. Matt and Jeff popped the place back at 'Mania 33 in 2017, but a lot has changed since then. AEW performances have exposed how limited they are in-ring nowadays, and another comeback under similar circumstances to the last would surely lead to diminishing returns.

Again, it's highly unlikely anyway.
