Matt Hardy recalls 2005 decision to return to WWE instead of TNA

Matt Hardy reflected on his 2005 decision to return to WWE rather than join TNA during a podcast episode. Hardy noted that fan support played a crucial role in his return, as chants of 'We Want Matt' from the audience influenced WWE to bring him back. He speculated that had he chosen TNA, he likely would have become the TNA World Champion, citing the early success of other wrestlers who made similar moves. Hardy also mentioned the lack of stability at TNA during that period as a factor in his choice. After years, both he and Jeff Hardy are currently the TNA World Tag Team Champions.
