On the latest episode of the “Extreme Life of Matt Hardy” podcast, the TNA star discussed a wide range of topics.
During the podcast, Hardy previewed Bryan Danielson challenging Swerve Strickland for the AEW World Title this Sunday at All In with Danielson’s career on the line. Hardy predicted Danielson would win the title.
“Swerve had a hell of a run. Swerve had a really nice run as champion, but it is time for the American Dragon. It is time for Brian Danielson to win the AEW world title. It’s really fitting. I mean, I think if you would ask Tony Khan who is his true right hand man, who does he believe in and trust in more than anyone else, who would he take advice from? It would be Brian Danielson. He has really been like a heart and soul when it comes to AEW. I think he is someone deserving of an AEW world title run and I think that happens because I think he is looking very much forward to stepping away, but it is not at All In. It’s not time yet. It’s going to be a little bit later,and I think we’re going to get a significant and really nice run out of Bryan here as he really winds down his career, especially on this last portion of the career. It feels in some way very similar to John Cena saying, ‘I’m retiring.’ I think John Cena is going to have a great run and eventually retires. I think Bryan Danielson is going to have an amazing year, especially if he can stay healthy. I don’t think it’s going to be a year. I think he’s, you know, going to have the title for a few months, maybe up to six months, whatever. I think he’s going to have a decent little run, though, interesting. It could be shorter, I don’t know. I think he’s going to I think he’s going to win the title. I think it’s important that he becomes the champion.”
