Matt Hardy Gives His Take On Why He And Bray Wyatt Were Written Off WWE TV
Like many wrestlers who decide to leave the WWE, Matt Hardy had nothing but positive things to say about the company that brought him and his brother Jeff back at WrestleMania 33. Hardy expressed his gratitude earlier this week on Busted Open.
"I am very grateful. Like I said in my video, Thoughts From The Throne when I announced that I was letting my contract expire, if it wasn't for Vince McMahon giving me an opportunity 20-plus years ago, I wouldn't have this life that I have now," Hardy informed. "I will always be grateful to him for that.
"Even if there's things that we didn't see eye-to-eye on, it is what it is, it's business. I feel like when it comes to Vince and the WWE, in some ways, I've kind of aged out. The way that I need to be utilized isn't one of their priorities, that's fine, I don't have any issues. I don't have any resentment towards them. I'm very happy with the time I had with them, and I'm happy that I got to come back and lead the WWE. That WrestleMania 33 moment was amazing. I'm very happy that I got the opportunity to do a version of the 'Broken' Matt Hardy while I was there. It wasn't all that I would have liked it to be. It would have been nice to have more say in what I was doing, but, it is what it is.
"When I went there, they treated me great. I had great conversations with everyone there. But creatively, we were just on different pages. Nothing against them, but it was time for me to go somewhere else and maximize and optimize my creativity. Especially, with what my role is going to be, if I want to be involved in a prominent role for the last 3-4 years that I have to do this That's where we're at."
When discussing his time in the WWE, Hardy gave a prime example of how his creative ideas weren't being utilized. The example he used was when he and Bray Wyatt pitched ideas to the higher up's about what they wanted to do with their group, The Deleters Of Worlds. Looking back now, Hardy believes that the pitches he and Wyatt had and the constant ideas they tried to present, played a huge role in why they were written off Monday Night RAW for some time back in 2018.
"In all honesty, I think the reason why Bray and I were pulled off of TV at that time, was because they were tired of us suggesting ideas about how we should use the Hardy Compound, and we shouldn't be wrestling all the time. I think that the whole scenario between myself and Bray could have been so much more if we could have gotten people to listen to our ideas," Hardy stated.
When concluding his thoughts about the WWE, Hardy did mention that it was Vince's idea to create the "Woken" Matt Hardy gimmick, so fans could stop seeing him portray the "Broken" gimmick that he had in TNA/Impact back in 2016.
"Whenever we first did 'Woken' Matt Hardy, Vince was the one that initiated it," Hardy informed. "I think it was because people would stop chanting 'Delete.' He'd ask about it, we'd talk about it. Like, I wanted to do it. I think there was a possibility there, but it's a very different concept. I don't think he fully understood it."

TEDDY HART LEGAL UPDATE
Teddy Hart (Edward Ellsworth Annis, 40 years old) remained incarcerated in Richmond, Virginia at the Richmond City Jail after being taken into custody on 3/4 for violating his house arrest. He is being held until a 4/23 court date, which had already been on the docket for 9 AM that day.
Hart was arrested on 2/12 in Richmond after being pulled over by authorities. According to court records, Annis was charged with possession of a schedule III narcotic and possession with intent to sell or distribute. According to Virginia law, Possession of a Schedule III controlled substance is a Class 1 misdemeanor and can be punished with up to 12 months in jail and a fine up to $2,500. Possession of a Schedule III controlled substance by a prisoner (Va. Code §53.1-203(6)) is a Class 5 felony, punished with up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $2,500. According to SwangoLaw.com, narcotics that fall under Schedule III in Virginia include anabolic steroids, ketamine, codeine, and hydrocodone. Court records also indicate Hart was charged with not carrying/exhibiting his registration card or license, improperly mounted license plates, failure to use lights with wipers,
In a now-deleted YouTube video featuring a phone conversation between Annis and ROH star Maria Manic, who he was in a relationship with, Annis stated that after the 2/9 Ring of Honor Free Enterprise event (which he was visiting at in Baltimore), he left Manic at their hotel in Maryland and drove to Virginia to get marijuana. He stated he was alone as Manic had "hit her head hard" during an angle where she was put through a table on the ROH event.
Hart stated he was pulled over due to an ongoing issue with his license plate not matching the registration for his car, something he claimed had been "taken care of." Authorities searched his car and found marijuana and steroids. In the video, Hart stated he had a "prescription" but does not clarify which he has a prescription for. According to court records, Annis has charged with possession of a schedule III narcotic, possession (first offense) and possession with intent to sell or distribute. Steroids would fall under a schedule III description under Virginia law. In a previous video released by Manic several days before, she referred to steroids in Hart's car as being the reason for his arrest. Hart claimed that authorities have already discovered all is OK with his car and that it will be released back to "his company." Hart stated that he hoped to get the situation cleared up and get back to performing for fans as soon as possible, saying he was born to perform and make others happy.
Manic later stated in another YouTube video that Hart was being released from jail, but would be under house arrest in Richmond until his legal case was resolved.
Annis was released from his MLW contract in December 2019 after several requests to be cut loose from his contract.
