Matt Hardy Says Bray Wyatt Was ‘Very Interested’ In Bringing The Righteous To WWE
Matt Hardy says Bray Wyatt talked to The Righteous (Vincent and Dutch) about working with them in WWE.
The Righteous consists of Vincent and Dutch, who currently work for TNA. They recently defeated The Hardys (Matt Hardy and Jeff Hardy) in the first-ever Wicked Garden match.
The Hardys were recently interviewed on Rewind Recap Relive, where host Jonah discussed The Righteous. He mentioned that The Righteous has been compared to The Wyatt Family. Jonah then asked Matt Hardy if he sees any similarities between these teams.
“I do. They fit in that genre, no doubt about it. The Righteous aren’t just one of the most interesting teams in TNA, they’re one of the most interesting teams in all of pro wrestling, in my opinion.”
Matt then says that Bray Wyatt was interested in bringing The Righteous to WWE when he was working as The Fiend.
“There was a point, too, where Windham, Bray Wyatt, was very interested in bringing The Righteous to WWE with him when he was doing The Fiend stuff. So they had communicated back and forth quite a bit. It kind of ties into we all feel like family, especially all of these characters that are larger than life, kind of superhuman to a degree, that do these special things that seem not like normal human beings wrestling in a match. They seem like really character-driven or magical to a degree in their core. They all kind of fit into that family. Myself and Bray, we worked together for a year, and it’s hard to believe he’s not here. It’s hard to believe he’s gone. He should be here with us. Still working his magic, but I’m very proud of The Righteous and what they’ve done and what they’ve accomplished and how much they have grown in the field of pro wrestling.”
Elsewhere in the interview, The Hardys invited The Righteous to the Hardy Compound. Fans can read more about this here.
