What is up, everybody? You're listening to Busted Open After Dark. It's your girl, Denise Soussato,

and we've got to talk some T&A Impact Wrestling. This is the Busted Open podcast.

All right, well, let's get to it. You know, I was kind of debating how I wanted to go about today's show and where I want to start. And I think I should begin with the return of Willow, which is again,

the alter ego of Jeff Hardy. And this is like deep lore, man. But this came after the match that

we saw with Matt Hardy and Vincent. And it's funny because I was, after Matt Hardy defeated Vincent.

And even before the match even started, I was thinking to myself because I was after Matt Hardy defeated Vincent and even before the match even started I was thinking to myself I was thinking to myself man like prior to this I started thinking wow

They have kept this storyline going for such a long time

This feud I don't even remember at this point how long it's been, but I feel like

they have done everything possible between the righteous and the Hardys. And it's funny because

just when I was thinking about what more they can do, all of a sudden they added a whole other

layer to this. And like, yeah, this is going to keep going forever, guys. Like, I'm convinced

that the righteous and the hearties are going to be feuded all the way until the end of the year

of 2030. All right, Andre, I know you're a big fan of what you saw today with the return of

Willow. What was your reaction to that?

So it's deep lore, like you said, the TNA World Title was redesigned

into Jeff Hardy's alter ego, Willow's face.

That mask you saw, that was the faceplate of the TNA World title at one point

when Jeff Hardy was holding it.

That's how far back it goes.

Then you've got Brother Nero now with like the whole broken characters together.

Now I believe they had a little bit of kind of like a Willow kind of look when they were doing

the final deletion between Matt and Jeff close to a decade ago, but we never really got to see it in full as the Hardee's together, especially in this era of TNA.
