Young Bucks Say The Hardy Boyz Were Originally Supposed To Be Part Of RAW Invasion

The Young Bucks (Nick and Matt Jackson) have given some insight into the original plans for their WWE RAW invasion angle.

They recently appeared on Chris Jericho’s Talk Is Jericho podcast to talk about various topics. During that interview, Nick brought up the fact that The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) were originally planned to be part of this angle.

The Hardy’s run came to an end with TNA after having some contract disputes. The Hardy Boyz would leave the promotion and work indie shows as well have a brief run in Ring of Honor.

There was much debate about whether The Hardys would return to WWE, which that brought them to super-stardom as their original gimmick or the new Broken universe. When they returned at WrestleMania 33 in April in Orlando, Florida, they were not broken but rather had their old gimmicks.

“We had that planned, man, for a long time. Maybe even longer [than six months]. Actually, we were originally going to do it with The Hardy Boyz. We were going to be outside of WrestleMania and we were going to do something with The Hardys. They were going to transport to WrestleMania and we were going to be there and have a little altercation. That’s right, we were going to take their titles. They were the TNA [tag] champs at the time.”
