Matt Hardy Teases Hardy Boyz Pursuit Of AEW Tag Titles And Expansion Of Hardy Party Faction After 'The Firm Deletion' Match

Matt Hardy, the celebrated wrestling superstar, has revealed that exciting plans are already in motion for The Hardy Boyz to set their sights on the highly-coveted AEW World Tag Team Titles. With the prodigiously talented Jeff Hardy back by his side and the swaggering Isiah Kassidy in tow, the Hardy Party is poised to make a profound impact in the tag team division. ## Following their much-anticipated reunion in AEW, the Hardy Party has been on a mission to dominate the competition. And with a monumental matchup against Ethan Page and The Firm, aptly dubbed "The Firm Deletion," on the horizon, the Hardy Party is primed to finally vanquish their adversaries once and for all. # During a special Q&A episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, the mastermind behind the Hardy Party, also known as "Version 1," pledged that their upcoming bout would spell the end of The Firm. But he also teased the possibility of the Hardy Party expanding their ranks and solidifying their status as one of wrestling's most formidable factions. ## "We already have an idea of a way to take the current story once it ends with The Firm," he said. "I think it's going to make a lot of people that have enjoyed our story through and through happy. We're calling this match The Firm Deletion. I think it really is going to be the deletion of The Firm when it's all said and done. There are a couple of ideas; obviously, Jeff is back, so we're going to be delving into the tag team scene and we're going to be looking to try and find our way back up the mountain to get another shot at the AEW World Tag Team Titles, and we do have a couple of ideas about directions that we could go out of that. ## "There's going to be a little twist, I think, where the Hardy Party he's going to be evolving and changing a little bit," Matt continued. "I think it's going to be a small handful of guys that are still going to be associated with myself and Jeff. Maybe the Hardy Party is our faction's name." ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
