Jeff Hardy made his return to TNA earlier this year and quickly became one of the top attractions for the brand. While he is currently a babyface, he was once a major heel in TNA. Hardy has now expressed interest in bringing back one of his iconic heel characters to the company.

While speaking on the Rewind Recap Relive podcast, Jeff Hardy revealed that he wants to bring back his old heel character the “Antichrist of pro wrestling,” from his time in TNA. He remembers how exciting and intense the character was and now, after getting sober and changing his life, he thinks it would connect even better with fans.

The Charismatic Enigma believes the fans would both hate and love the character at the same time, which would make it even more powerful. He is excited about the idea of bringing this persona back and thinks it would be a great fit for who he is now.

“I love it, man. The Immortal thing and the Antichrist, you know, all that stuff was so exciting and scary at the time. But when I got into it, I was enjoying it, man. It was fun. And to do it now, I mean, the way my life is now, the way I am now, would be so much better than it was before. I think it might even strike an in-between type of chord with the wrestling fans because it might be, you know, ‘You hate this guy, but we kind of love him at the same time.’ You know, ‘Oh my God, what is wrong with Jeff?’ So I think, yeah, me and the fact that I’ve gotten sober again and stayed sober, it’s super exciting for what’s possible, man. Because I think it’ll be great to eventually bring the Antichrist of pro wrestling back.”
