In a recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, co-host Matt Hardy gave his thoughts about this past May’s TNA Under Siege 2025 event and revealed Jeff Hardy’s return to Canada in the future is something that is “actively being worked on.” Hardy stated “We did. It was an extremely busy weekend. It started off on Friday. We had the Under Siege premium live event, which aired on the TNA streaming system. It was a hell of a show. It was sold out, 3000-plus, a little over 3000 people in the house, packed out the venue. They’re really nice. It was a great crowd. It was great to be in front of a Toronto-like crowd. I feel like this crowd, they were good, but they made you work for it a little bit too. So they appreciate hard work. They appreciate hard effort. That’s what that crowd felt like, and they were great all night long. So, Brampton, thank you very much. You guys came out in huge numbers. You were super passionate. Both nights of my post-show meet-and-greets, you were great as well. It was so nice talking to so many of you, and so many of you are excited for Jeff Hardy to one day be back in Canada, and that’s something that we are actively working on now. So we’re hoping this will be something that happens sooner rather than later.” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)

In a recent interview with the Huge Pop! podcast, TNA Head of Talent Relations Tommy Dreamer gave his thoughts about the belief some online wrestling fans have over WWE is using their partnership with TNA to simply just poach talent and how TNA isn’t panicking over talent leaving for WWE. Dreamer stated “I’ll take it from and I quote him a lot, Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon didn’t want people who didn’t want to be there. What player do you want on your team if they don’t want to be there? It’s a different world. I was with Tony Khan when Jalen Ramsey went on social media and requested a trade, and Tony Khan literally goes, ‘I love Jalen. We’re going to give him what he wants,’ and literally then traded him, he goes, ‘Did you see who we got?’ He was excited for the two guys that they got and the future, because it’s cool. You don’t want to be on my team? That’s cool. Go, go somewhere else. I’m also crazy; I had a different attitude towards ECW because I had ECW blinders on. ECW was developmental for the industry. If somebody’s contract is coming up, or if WWE — why would you not want them to go experience something else? Here’s also what I will say: this place will always be here. As long as I’m here, this place will always be here. When you come back, you could be an even bigger star for this company, whether you fail or succeed. Think about if AJ Styles ever came to TNA, it’s massive. Think of if LA Knight showed up in TNA, right? Motor City Machine Guns. Think of if they return, it’s going to be bigger for the company, right?” (Transcript h/t: Fightful.com)
