Matt Hardy Confirms WWE Used AI for Broken Hardys Video Promo Segment at 10/21 WWE NXT Show

This past Tuesday’s WWE NXT show at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida featured a video promo segment involving The Hardys hyping up their NXT Tag Team Championship match against DarkState at this Saturday’s NXT Halloween Havoc 2025 event. This video promo was notable for taking place at The Hardy Compound and Matt & Jeff Hardy going into the Lake of Reincarnation and coming out as their Broken Matt Hardy and Brother Nero personas. This segment quickly led to online fans noticing that WWE had used AI to produce the Hardys transformation.

A recent episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast featured Matt Hardy confirming that AI was used for The Hardys video segment on the show and him being okay with how it was used.

“It was interesting. It was cool how they were able to do that and give a look of how the transformation happens underneath the water where that’s always been left up to the imagination before. I was okay with it. If you’re going to use that, it was a decent time to use it.”

In response to co-host Jon Alba about if he would be using ChatGPT to write his promos, Hardy responded stating that he still writes his own promos and doesn’t have any interest in using AI for that.

“I’m still writing mine. My wife is current with that stuff, but I have no interest in any of it. Technology has already dumbed us down way too much as it is.”
