Matt Hardy Reflects On Teaming With Johnny Hardy (John Morrison) At AAA Triplemania XXX: Tijuana

Matt Hardy was proud to headline his first AAA Triplemania.

Matt Hardy and his brother, Jeff, were supposed to compete against Hermanos Lee at AAA Triplemania XXX: Tijuana. However, his brother was removed from the card after he was arrested on a DUI charge.

Matt Hardy still managed to team with a Hardy, Johnny Hardy. For one night only, John Morrison impersonated Jeff Hardy for the evening and added to his long line of ring names. Ultimately, the two were unsuccessful as the night ended with Morrison taking a Twist of Fate after betraying Matt Hardy.

Speaking about the experience on the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Matt Hardy said he really enjoyed teaming with Morrison and enjoyed being the headlining act of his very first Triplemania.

“Yeah, there’s another  — Johnny Hardy, another doppelganger. It was a lot of fun. It was a long day. But it was a very productive and good day. I enjoyed it in the big scheme of things,” Hardy said. “I haven’t been to Mexico since 2018, that was the last time I went with WWE. So just going to Mexico, having a four-hour meet-and-greet where I interacted with so many enthusiastic, so many amazing Mexican fans. American fans were there as well. But it was a huge event. It was an outside packed house, packed stadium, and I was very proud of the match that myself and Johnny Hardy aka John Morrison, aka Johnny Mundo, aka Johnny IMPACT, aka Johnny Elite, I was very proud of our match against the Lee brothers. Those guys are extremely talented, and it makes me, once again, be very envious that I’m not in my 20s again. These guys can do everything. So it was a lot of fun. We went on last and I thought that was pretty cool to go to Triplemania and main event on your first shot. That was very cool.”

After the match took place, John Morrison also took the time on Instagram to reflect on being a Hardy Boy for one night.
