Fans waited years for Jeff Hardy to win the WWE Championship and he finally captured the gold at Armageddon in 2008. However, his run with the belt didn’t last long as he lost it to Edge at the Royal Rumble when Matt Hardy interfered and turned on his brother.
Matt Hardy recently explained the original plans for Jeff’s run on The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, and he explained that one idea that was pitched would have seen him turn on Jeff at WrestleMania 25.
“That would that would have involved Jeff defending the title in a main event on WrestleMania, and then me turning on him there. But they ended up going with the Rumble instead. And that was probably a little bit of the Man With Three H’s, he was probably pushing for that hard… But yeah, that that was something that was talked about. And it could have been a reality, but they ended up going the other route.”
Ultimately Jeff Hardy wasn’t involved in a title match at WrestleMania 25 as he and Matt faced off on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Matt went on to add that some people were concerned about Jeff’s title run going too long.
“I don’t know, Vince was open to it. I do know that. But there were probably just — there was probably a certain percentage of the writers and creative that were really behind Jeff, because he had so much momentum and and things were hot and it was good. And there were some people that probably were worried about Jeff having too long of a run, and maybe something going wrong.”
