The Hardy Boyz disclose their plans for AEW x NJPW: Forbidden Door
The upcoming AEW x NJPW event has given rise to a lot of speculation. The Hardys joined the party by teasing a title match at the crossover event.
Although Matt Hardy has been a part of Tony Khan's promotion since 2020, his brother Jeff Hardy made his debut in March, which allowed The Hardys to reunite.
The Hardy brothers have had a distinguished career as a team so far. They have won tag team titles in a large number of wrestling promotions like WWE, Ring of Honor, and IMPACT Wrestling (formerly known as TNA).
Even after all their accomplishments, the duo still do not seem to be satisfied. In a video posted on AEW's Twitter page, they recently teased their interest in challenging for the NJPW tag team titles.
"The Forbidden Door event is going to be massive, it's going to be huge and blow people's minds. There should be plenty of opponents for us to DELETE! DELETE! DELETE! And you know what brother Nero, we never held the NJPW tag team titles. Maybe it's time for a brand new Expedition of Gold. See you, at the Forbidden Door," Matt Hardy said. [0:00 to 0:20]
