“I saw the Boneyard Match,” Matt Hardy told Chris Van Vliet. “I thought it was great. It was done really well. I think it was one of the smartest usages of Taker they had in a long time.
“Bray and I are buddies so I watched the Funhouse Match. I thought it was super interesting. For me, considering the way my mind thinks, I thought it was very cool. I could see how some die-hard wrestling fans could get lost in that as well.
“I thought the bar fight my brother did with Sheamus was awesome, I think wrestling fans should be very appreciative that they are getting these matches like this because we are doing all this during a pandemic era in front of no fans. It’s very hard on us as performers to go out there and work in front of no crowd.”
