Jeff Hardy contemplates renewing historic rivalry
During a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Jeff Hardy discussed the possibility of rekindling his memorable feud with CM Punk. Hardy reflected on their 2009 World Heavyweight Championship storyline, which preceded his WWE departure.

Hardy proposed a fresh approach to their rivalry, suggesting he could adopt an antagonistic role this time. While both performers briefly shared the AEW roster in 2022, plans for a confrontation never materialized.
