Jeff Hardy has competed against some of the biggest names in pro wrestling, including CM Punk. It’s been years since their last feud, but Hardy has now stated that he believes another storyline with Punk is still possible.
While speaking to Chris Van Vliet, Jeff Hardy reflected on the possibility of facing CM Punk again, as he acknowledged the lasting impact of their past feud. Fans often compliment him on their feud, which resonated with many during its time. He noted that even in AEW, there was potential for a moment between them, whether a face-off or a backstage interaction, but it just never happened.
Hardy made it clear that he wants to revisit the feud, describing CM Punk as a popular name in professional wrestling. He talked about the prospect of a sober, heel version of himself facing Punk, believing such a feud remains entirely possible.
“And yeah, the reality is, it could happen, man. Our feud—man, I still get so many compliments on that. People who are adults now come up to me, like, ‘Oh man, you and Punk, that feud was amazing.’ Even in AEW, I felt like there could’ve been a moment for me and Punk—at least some kind of face-off, or us running into each other backstage or something. But we never got to do that.
Ultimately, I would love to revisit that feud in some way. And who knows, man? CM Punk is such a superpower in the pro wrestling game. But man, if Jeff Hardy getting sober made him an a******, I mean, come on! Heel Jeff Hardy against the one and only CM Punk? I mean, I feel like that’s completely possible.”
Jeff Hardy and CM Punk had an iconic rivalry in 2009 over the World Heavyweight Championship, which also marked Jeff’s exit from WWE until his return in 2017. They briefly crossed paths in AEW in 2022, with Hardy even expressing interest in facing Punk again, but the match never happened. Therefore, we will have to wait and see if their feud is revisited in WWE in the future as fans would certainly love it.
