Bray Wyatt made a great return to WWE during Extreme Rules In 2022, for great enthusiasm of fans around the world. Unfortunately, Wyatt died last year leaving a tremendous emptiness in the wrestling community. In fact, Jeff Hardy has now revealed that Bray Wyatt wanted to bring Willow's character to WWE.
Jeff Hardy reached a level of success that only a handful of professional fighters have achieved in their careers and one of their most iconic characters is undoubtedly his Willow character, who debuted in TNA and Hardy made clear that would bring the character back before retiring .
While talking in the podcast Keepin’ It 100 Jeff Hardy shared that there were conversations about bringing his Willow character to WWE with Bray Wyatt. He remembered a moment behind the stage when he, Matt Hardy as “Broken” Matt and Bray Wyatt were preparing to form team. During that time, Jeff Hardy and Bray had a conversation, and Bray mentioned bringing Willow's character in future WWE stories, especially with his Fiend character.
This idea excited Hardy a lot, since Willow had been an important part of his past in wrestling. He imagined a fight between Willow and Fiend, but never happened. Bray's connection with darker issues always made Hardy think of deep things like death, which makes Bray's death feel even more unreal to him.
“I had some conversations. One of my favorite moments behind the stage of all time was when Matt, Broken Matt and Bray met when they were about to start working as a team. I remember that at that time, there was a time when I was sitting with Bray, as in a bus during a tour or something. Willow '. I really wanted to bring Willow.
“That, simply, the wrestling fan in me and the youngest version of me, because Willow was my main interest at that time, I was very excited. I thought that one day I could mix with him, Fiend and Willow, but none of that happened. Even the way I said 'follow the vultures', their essence, his presence, he always made me think of, you know, death and things. Now … it's simply unreal. ”
Jeff Hardy ha Confirmed that he plans to bring back to The Willow to TNA and could even fight in NXT . Anyway, it is a shame that The Fiend and Willow have never been able to face the WWE television, and it will always be a great regret for fans and Jeff Hardy equally.
