WWE star to "get over very quickly" after return, Matt Hardy predicts

Matt Hardy has been involved in dozens of WWE angles throughout his career. In a recent podcast episode, the TNA star gave his thoughts on WWE's latest storyline development involving Bronson Reed.

On April 19, Paul Heyman aligned with Seth Rollins at WrestleMania 41 to help The Visionary beat CM Punk and Roman Reigns. Since then, Bron Breakker and the returning Reed have joined forces with the villainous duo to create a new faction.

On his Extreme Life of Matt Hardy podcast, Hardy applauded WWE's creative team for reintroducing Reed in a prominent role:

"The fact that that was such a high-level position, and the fact that they automatically moved Bron Breakker into that, and now they put Bronson Reed in, I love the fact that it's a new, young talent that has never been in a spot like that before, so it gives him a lot of chance to grow and learn and be successful. It should help him get over very quickly, and it also is gonna introduce a lot of people to him." [12:24 – 12:47]
