Matt Hardy Teases King Maxel vs. Stokely Hathaway May Happen During ‘The Firm Deletion’
Matt Hardy believes ‘The Firm Deletion’ could become an all-time classic in AEW.
Matt Hardy is looking forward to facilitating the end of The Firm in AEW as he leads a team consisting of himself, his brother Jeff Hardy, HOOK, and Isiah Kassidy into battle on the Hardy Compound against Stokely Hathaway, Ethan Page, Big Bill, and Lee Moriarty.
Thus far, no date for the match has been officially set, but on the latest episode of The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy gave fans a little preview of what they can expect to happen when the battlefield is once again “prepared for massacre.”
“It’s gonna be a lot of fun to go back to the Hardy Compound,” Hardy said. “I’m really excited to take four-man teams, eight people altogether, and have a match on the Hardy Compound. That’s something we’ve never done before. We did a lot of stuff with Decay, where there were six people that were interacting with one another. Obviously, that’d be myself, Jeff, and Queen Rebecca vs. Abyss, Crazzy Steve, and Rosemary. Now, to have eight people out there. The Hardy Compound always promises to have cameos. It always has special guest appearances. I’m excited for this one because I feel like it’s going to be a little different than all the other ones. There’s a lot of guys involved, but it’s also going to be based in more of an AEW Universe, I feel, than any other cinematic match has been because I get the fact that they are a more sports-centric type of promotion. So we’re gonna have some fun, entertaining moments. There’s going to be a lot of great physicality. It’s going to be pretty brutal in many ways, a lot of spots that are going to take your breath away, but it’s also going to be based in reality, which I think is going to be very good for the AEW audience.”
Furthermore, Matt Hardy believes that this match could potentially feature a match within a match where Stokely Hathaway and King Maxel Hardy come face-to-face.
“I think you’re going to see all of the classic House Hardy family members there during this match. You’ll get to see the baby Hardy Boyz. You’re going to get to see Queen Rebecca. I’m sure you’ll see Senor Benjamin, and I imagine there’ll also be a cameo by Gothic Baby [Matt’s daughter], so it’s going to be a lot of fun,” Matt said. “Let me say this, too, Jon. Speaking of Stokely, King Maxel has got his Swanton down. He’s about ready to Maxton Stokely, too. Hopefully, he gets in his way. He’ll Maxton his ass.
“I don’t think [Stokely Hathaway] realized that King Maxel was still undefeated. He’s 3-0. So, we’ll see. Maybe we can build a match within ‘The Firm Deletion’ match,” Hardy added.
Stokely Hathaway recently talked smack about the undefeated King Maxel and said he never trusted Matt Hardy after Matt took the last Fanta out from him. Read more here.
