Matt Hardy comments on the formation of The Brethren.
In recent weeks, The Hardys (Matt and Jeff Hardy) have aligned with Mark Briscoe. During a backstage interview on the January 12 episode of AEW Rampage, they made it clear that they were coming for the gold. Matt Hardy also referred to them as The Brethren.
Speaking on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy, the AEW star was asked about the trio.
“The Brethren formed last week, and I hope Mark likes the name. I just came up with it on the spot. That’s pretty much a shoot, pretty much reality. Mark and Jay, their favorite tag team, before they got into wrestling, were The Hardys. So without The Hardys, you don’t get The Briscoes. So I figured it was a kind thing to do. We spoke to Mark. He had a really hard, difficult, challenging time in the Continental Classic, so I thought we could lift his spirits, put him in a six-man tag with us, and go out there. Maybe we can procure some trios gold down the road. We look great together, and I like Mark. I like Mark a lot as a pro wrestler and as a person. So we are very graciously allowing him to be our trios partner,” Hardy said.
Alba then noted that Mark might be inspired by all of the titles Matt had at the Hardy Compound, and the latter agreed, as he noted that The Hardys were inspirational figures.
