WWE: Matt Hardy on The Hardys Potentially Wrestling Match in WWE in 2025, Chelsea Green on “Women Feel Absolutely Equal to Men” in Triple H’s WWE, Update on 1/7 NXT Ratings

Matt Hardy Comments on The Hardys Making Potential WWE Return & Wrestling a Match in WWE in 2025

A recent episode of the Insight with Chris Van Vliet podcast featured Matt Hardy as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Hardy’s thoughts about the potential of The Hardys making a return to WWE and wrestling in a match in the company this year.

“That was actually one of his bold predictions, The Hardys will wrestle a match in WWE before the year is over. I feel good about that. That’s one of the great things about working with TNA now. They know that we do have a lot of love for WWE. They know that we would like to one day do the Hall of Fame. We filmed some content for WWE that’ll probably be dropping pretty soon. I saw The Dudleys did it the day before us, and I know theirs just dropped recently. But we have a good working relationship with them. I think [if] the perfect storm arose, I think you could see us pop up even as TNA champs on some WWE show at some point. Who knows?”

Chelsea Green Comments on “Women Feel Absolutely Equal to Men” in Triple H’s WWE

A recent episode of The Sports Agents podcast featured Chelsea Green as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Green’s thoughts about the differences between the current Triple H era and the previous era of WWE and her belief that women wrestlers feel “absolutely equal” to men in the company under Triple H.

“Well, I think you’re kind of talking about a whole different group of eras coming together. Because if we’re talking about Vince vs. Triple H, we’re also talking about Attitude Era vs. now, we’re talking about divas vs. women, we’re talking about Trish Stratus vs. me. I really think that, first of all, we would not be here without that side of things. We in 2025 would not have the success that we have if it wasn’t for that attitude era, the Bellas, Trish Stratus, Lita, Mickie James. They set the tone for us. I can’t speak on what their era was like because I wasn’t there, but now in this new era, I know that I come to work, I love my job, I feel safe, I feel supported. Triple H makes women specifically feel absolutely equal to men. We are out there main eventing WrestleManias now, something that unfortunately that previous era didn’t get to experience. But, they set the table for us and now we’re enjoying these amazing meals and I couldn’t be happier.”
