Matt Hardy names the faction comprising himself, Jeff Hardy, and Mark Briscoe

The Hardys have recently been the highlight of Rampage. The duo has aligned themselves with Mark Briscoe and is seemingly pursuing the AEW World Trios Championship.

On his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, The Broken One named the faction The Brethren:

“The Brethren formed last week, and I hope Mark likes the name. I just came up with it on the spot. That’s pretty much a shoot, pretty much reality. Mark and Jay, their favorite tag team before they got into wrestling, were The Hardys. So without The Hardys, you don’t get The Briscoes. So I figured it was a kind thing to do. We spoke to Mark. He had a really hard, difficult, challenging time in the Continental Classic, so I thought we could lift his spirits, put him in a six-man tag with us, and go out there," said Matt.

Matt Hardy added that the trio will aim to win gold in the near future:

"Maybe we can procure some trios gold down the road. We look great together, and I like Mark. I like Mark, a lot as a pro wrestler and as a person. So we are very graciously allowing him to be our trios partner," he mentioned. [H/T Fightful]

On the latest edition of Rampage, The Charismatic Enigma lost to Darby Allin in a hard-hitting match. Can he bounce back from the defeat on Dynamite? Only time will tell.
