Vince McMahon Scrapped Matt Hardy’s Bold Bray Wyatt Match Plan at 2 a.m.
Matt Hardy recently detailed that he had elaborate plans for his Bray Wyatt match in 2018. The rivalry between them had started to heat up. Matt Hardy, true to his extreme nature, had drawn up some exciting plans for the future of the feud. However, he recalled that Vince McMahon ultimately canceled the plans at two in the morning.
Vince McMahon changed Matt Hardy’s original plans for Bray Wyatt match
Hardy spoke about his original plans for the Bray Wyatt match, which included jumping off a tree and through two stacked tables, during a recent episode of Extreme Life of Matt Hardy. McMahon dismissed the idea and suggested that they should do a live finish instead.
“I had these great ideas, and I was going to do a big thing,” Hardy said. “The tree, if you remember, in the Final Deletion, there’s one point where Jeff [Hardy] climbs in a tree, and he jumps out, and I’m lying on a ladder, and he hits me. We’re still in the midst of fighting where that ring is. We had a ring set up in that exact location where Bray and I started the match, and you could climb in that tree again.”
Hardy continued that his original plans involved him jumping off the tree toward Wyatt to do a leg drop through the tables. According to the plan, Bray Wyatt was supposed to move out of the way right on time and subsequently gain advantage. He added, “You think he’s going to win, and then the ghost of Brother Nero shows up, and then I end up dropping at the end, and we end up going to the finish.”
Meanwhile, production was trying to contact McMahon since nine o’clock that evening about filming this. He eventually responded at 2:00 a.m. “It was Michael [Hayes] and Ed Koskey, and Michael said, Vince doesn’t want any more of this wrestling bulls**t. He said he thinks it’s been enough,” Hardy recalled.
McMahon asked for significant changes, though Hardy expressed his opposition; it didn’t lead to anything. He said, “I have always felt in those matches it’s important to have a little bit of every kind of emotion in there wrapped in one big package.”
Notably, Bray Wyatt passed away in 2023. Hardy exited WWE three years before that.
