Jeff Hardy recently appeared for an interview on Busted Open Radio, where Hardy said that he was offered a WWE Hall of Fame back in 2021, however, he rejected the offer saying that it didn’t feel right for him, without Matt Hardy. Although he felt proud for the moment, he rejected the offer and made clear that if he is inducted into the Hall of Fame, it should be with his brother Matt Hardy as The Hardy Boyz and he doesn’t wish to have two rings for their induction.

Jeff Hardy said,

“For sure, man. When I denied it the first time, it didn’t feel right going in there without Matt [Hardy]. I mean I cried after that phone call. I was just thinking about all the really cool moments I’ve given to the pro-wrestling world. I’m so proud of it, but it didn’t feel right at all. So, I just wanted to wait. If I did do this, I’m definitely doing that with Matt, you know. It’ll be a Hardy Boyz thing. I just want one ring, I don’t want two rings.”
