Matt Hardy Credits Mr. Beast Employee For Setting Up The Hardys Appearance On Kai Cenat Stream

Matt Hardy discusses The Hardys appearing on Kai Cenat’s stream.

On Sunday, September 28, Matt and Jeff Hardy appeared on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 stream to a ton of fanfare and praise. The wrestling community and even the general public quickly caught wind of the appearance, as many clips from Cenat’s stream go viral on social media.

On the latest episode of his The Extreme Life Of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy told Jon Alba about how the appearance came together.

“I had met a guy a couple of years ago who worked for Mr. Beast. He said, ‘Oh, we’d love to do a collaboration with you at some point, let me get your info.’ I said, ‘Oh man, my kids love Mr. Beast, they love his chocolate bars.’ It was so wild because earlier in August he said, ‘Hey, September is coming up.’ He said, ‘I’d love to get you out to Kai Cenat because he’s the biggest streamer in the world right now and he streams for the whole month of September.’ I was like, ‘Oh, that’s cool. That’s cool that we were invited.’ I had no idea how big this guy was and how massive he was.”

After talking about how Lebron James and Kevin Hart were guests on the stream around the same time, Matt Hardy said that he was told that The Hardys were on Cenat’s request list with Oprah Winfrey and President Obama.

“TK is the guy that contacted us to work with him. TK, so funny, confused so many people when I told them. TK tells us, he’s like, ‘When we were sitting here talking about doubt Mafiathon 3, let’s put together who is your dream list, Kai?’ He said the first three people he named [were] Oprah Winfrey, Obama, The Hardy Boyz.”

Hardy went on to share some more details about his experience with the stream.

“It was wild man. When we got in there, a whole bunch of people came to visit us in the green room because we had to wait like three and a half hours before we go on with the way this thing was live. He was in this huge ass mansion. We drove and went through three different security checkpoints getting there, it was crazy. It felt like you were going to the White House. We got in there, a guy came and said, ‘Man, I don’t think you guys know, to like everybody, you guys are cultural icons.’ The way he said it like that, I ripped that and put it in that tweet I put, which was pretty cool. It’s pretty cool the crossover audience that we have built over these decades of being pro wrestlers.”
