WWE Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy has revealed he may not transition into a trainer or agent role when he eventually retires from in-ring competition.
Speaking with the Daily Star, Hardy shared how he hopes there will be a \”creative place\” for him when he decides he can\’t wrestle anymore.
\”I still don\’t feel like I\’m a trainer, a coach or a leader. I just feel like somebody who would never really be seen but has these unique ideas that might be cool for a show or a storyline.\”
Hardy then revealed the only circumstances that would convince him to become a trainer. He confessed he would embrace the role only if his daughters wanted to become pro wrestlers:
\”[…] If my two daughters ever want to wrestle and they\’re serious about it, that\’s when I\’ll get a ring and a building, and get my training boots on. Other than that, I don\’t know what it is…\”
Jeff Hardy then spoke about how invested he is in his musical career. He shared how he\’s been writing a lot and attempting to improve despite being such an \”intimidating industry.\” He also pointed to his love of art and painting before once again stating how \”[…] I don\’t think like I\’ll ever be a wrestling trainer, an agent, a coach or anything like that.\”
Jeff Hardy is set to defend his Intercontinental Championship this Sunday at Clash of Champions. He competes in a Triple Threat Ladder Match against AJ Styles and Sami Zayn.
