Matt Hardy discloses the names of WWE Alumni who almost became members of Team Xtreme
Matt Hardy disclosed that there were considerations to add two additional members to Team Xtreme.
Matt embarked on ''Team Xtreme'' alongside Lita and his brother Jeff Hardy in 2000. The legendary tag team carried out many successful title pursuits, alongside their respective singles pushes. The faction crafted countless historical memories, such as the iconic TLC match at WrestleMania 2001.
On "The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy" podcast, Matt revealed that Shane Helms and Shannon Moore were in talks to join the faction after WWE bought WCW.
He spoke about Shane Helms' failed inclusion in the faction as he embarked on his ''The Hurricane'' persona:
"We did talk about doing stuff with Shane and Shannon. They had found something that they wanted to do with Shane and he ended up kind of doing his own thing," said Matt. (H/T: Wrestling news.co)
The elder Hardy opened up on working with Shannon Moore during the latter's "Mattitude Follower" days:
"Fortunately, when it was all said and done, I ended up getting to work with Shannon some as we did the very well-known MFR, not what you would think - Mattitude follower - MFR. That was so much fun doing that with Shannon," he added.

Matt Hardy crossed paths with The Hurricane in AEW and IMPACT Wrestling
