Jeff Hardy Takes The Blame Jeff Hardy was candid about his time in AEW. He feels he never had a chance to redeem himself after his arrest. "I just don't think we ever had a fair chance because of that," Jeff said. "So I blame myself all the time." He stated he understood why AEW might not have wanted to trust him. "I was, 'Oh, God, they can't trust me. I'm just a liability,'" he explained. Matt Hardy On Missed Opportunities Matt Hardy gave his perspective on the situation. He felt that his brother did a good job of proving himself after he returned. Matt also expressed disappointment that AEW didn't capitalize on having all four "TLC legends" (himself, Jeff, Adam Copeland, and Christian Cage) in the company at the same time.
