Matt Hardy Opens Up on the New Era in WWE Amidst Return Rumors: “Things Have Changed”

Since Triple H took creative control of WWE after the promotion’s subsequent acquisition by Endeavor, the company has undergone several significant changes that have garnered positive reception from its faithful fans. This transformation is still underway and is expected to materialize into bigger and better things in the future.

In an interview, Triple H said that while he doesn’t feel the need for WWE to change drastically, he recognizes the importance of continuing to evolve to maintain the appeal of the product. He assured that more changes could make its way in the coming months and that he expects WrestleMania 41 to have a completely different feel than WrestleMania 40. And one supporter of this new vision is none other than Matt Hardy.

Matt Hardy highlights the changes that WWE has breathed life into and lauds the initiative

The one-half of the Hardy Boyz recently released a new edition of his ‘The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy Podcast’, where he talked about all things wrestling. And during the podcast, his co-host Jon Alba asked Hardy what he thought about the changes being made by the WWE. And it took no time for the Broken One to praise the Stamford-based promotion. He said, “I think considering all the backlash and all the negativity from the alleged Vince McMahon charges. And everything that’s going on, I think this is the way to go you need to sell this. And you need to brand this as a new era. It’s a new start I think that’s what’s best for WWE. That’s what’s best for TKO and Endeavor. And it’s very important to say that and let people be aware and know that like things have changed.

He further added, “And also I feel like if you’re watching the product, it’s very obvious things have changed. Like I love these streaming shots. They’ve done like these long shots, these one continuous shots they do like there was one where they started in the back and they saw little guys interacting and then someone goes straight to the ring, all the way into the ring. And it’s like one continuous streaming shot. Like I love that stuff. There’s different shots they’ve been doing. They just switched things up from the production standpoint. They’ve switched things up from the booking standpoint. I think it’s a positive thing. I think it’s the way to brand the product and they’re following through with it. And not only does it feel different it looks different. And I think that is very paramount.”

Following the end of WrestleMania 40, WWE has emphasized that the company has entered a new era with Triple H at the helm, especially now that Vince McMahon no longer exerts influence over the product, and HHH remains in absolute control. But what motivated him to continue in the WWE after Endeavor bought it?

The reason behind Triple H staying with the WWE

Last year, Endeavor announced its agreement to acquire 51% of Vince McMahon‘s company. In addition, they revealed the formation of TKO, an entity that would include both WWE and the UFC. This transaction triggered several significant changes, including the appointment of Triple H as WWE’s new chief creative officer. During the recent press conference after WrestleMania XL, Triple H was asked about when the purchase was completed and why he decided to stay. Hunter confirmed that he enjoys his work very much and that is the main reason, besides his desire to take the product to a new level for everyone’s enjoyment.

TKO’s management has made it clear that it trusts Triple H to lead the product, suggesting that the relationship between the two parties will continue for many years to come. In addition, the product is experiencing a surge in popularity, thanks in part to The Game’s ideas. So we can only wait and witness the brilliant mind of the WWE legend working the magic.
