Matt Hardy’s wife Reby was a guest on the Busted Open satellite radio show on Sirius XM as part of their SummerSlam weekend coverage. During the discussion, Reby spoke candidly about Matt Hardy’s in-ring career winding down and the possibility of Matt transitioning to an agent/producer role. As noted earlier, Matt Hardy was backstage at SummerSlam doing just that.
When asked about her husband’s condition, Reby Hardy revealed that Matt Hardy is going through a “transitional period” in his career and might not return to the ring.
“Matt is good,” she said. “Matt is right now going through a transitional period. He’s not really sure what he’s going to be doing. His contract is up in March, which I’m not sure many people are aware of. But there’s sort of a decision to be made at this point as to whether or not he should continue his in-ring career or if he should pursue something different, which he would totally be up for and would be excited to do, I feel like.”
She continued, “So, he’s kind of giving it a go right now backstage. He’s at Summerslam. He’s not on the card but he’s there. And we’re kind of going to see from here. It’s really a transitional time right now."
WWE Hall of Famer Mark Henry, a co-host on Busted Open, told Reby that Matt can survive in the wrestling business without having to put his body through the rigors that come with being an in-ring competitor. Reby said she tells that to Matt all the time. She said wrestling is all Matt has known since he’s 16 years old. After 25 years in the wrestling business, she hopes Matt embraces this next chapter of his career as an agent/producer.
