Matt Hardy: Jeff Hardy’s Current Storyline Adds Unneeded Pressure
Jeff Hardy’s current feud with Sheamus has been a source of controversy because it has incorporated Hardy’s history with addiction. Matt Hardy responded to a fan’s tweet and agreed with their concerns about the storyline. Matt first pointed out how All Elite Wrestling has allowed him to craft his own persona with the company. He then echoed the common concerns about the feud’s usage of Jeff’s struggles with addiction. “I have those same concerns about the unneeded pressure on my brother,” wrote Hardy.
I’m very happy with how AEW has let me brand my persona. Allowing me to help younger talent on & off screen, while also respectfully celebrating my legacy & contributions to the industry. I have those same concerns about the unneeded pressure on my brother.

In another Tweet, Hardy elaborated by praising Jeff’s in-ring work. He also emphasized that his concerns were merely his opinion. “Ultimately, whatever he does it his decision & his alone,” wrote Matt. “My take on his current story is merely *my opinion*, which doesn’t make it right or wrong.”
Make no mistake, from what I’ve seen Jeff do in-ring, he’s looked incredible. As a performer, I praise his recent performances. Ultimately, whatever he does is his decision & his alone. My take on his current story is merely *my opinion*, which doesn’t make it right or wrong. https://t.co/LogVOFJuxe

Let's talk about this "scared" narrative. I get to work side by side with my Wife and guys I've traveled the world with for years. I have a great relationship with everyone in the office, get to WRESTLE and help a product I truly believe in. That's my definition of "success".
