Jeff Hardy is an accomplished pro-wrestler who has spent over twenty years within the wrestling industry. Hardy wants to gain two specific titles during his career before he retires, or preferably before 2024.

During his conversation with Sports Illustrated, the Superstar revealed that he wants to bring home the WrestleMania main event, WWE Universal Championship, and WWE Championship before 2024.

“Between now and the year 2024, I want to be WWE Champion and Universal Champion, one time apiece, and main event WrestleMania one of those years. That’s the goal I just set for myself. Faith over fear, everything will be good.”

Even though the two championships are with Superstars working under different brands, WWE might work on this if the company believes it will bring them the required viewership.

He claims that almost all of his visions have come true during his WWE run. There is no reason his dreams of holding the WWE Championship belt and the WWE Universal Belt should not come true.

“I had this dream where my ear was handcuffed to a ladder, where I was able to climb with it and hit people with it without ripping my earlobe, and it came true. I had a dream about this bar fight with Sheamus, a fight against alcohol and my human enemy, and it happened. I’m constantly dreaming, especially in the ThunderDome. That’s when my wheels start turning and I have my visions.”

Hardy wants to bring Willow to WWE

Jeff Hardy does not want to let go of his character – Willow. He wants to move forward with this character in a story line which involves ‘The Fiend’ Bray Wyatt. Considering this was a character from the time he was in Impact, the company might not want to make this storyline happen. Hardy still believes that Willow can appear in the Firefly Fire House.

“I’m thinking that Willow is stuck in a little black-and-white TV of the Twilight Zone in The Firefly Fun House. Maybe The Fiend beats Jeff Hardy, and that’s why I transform into Willow. It’s cool that pro wrestling allows all this creativity to exist. For me, it’s always been where my dreams come true, and it still is to this day.”

Jeff Hardy will return to the ring soon

Hardy returned to WWE with his brother Matt Hardy at WrestleMania 33. This comeback was surprising for the audience. Their win for the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships was the perfect way for the brothers to make their dominance noticed.

As of now, Jeff Hardy is in a storyline with the returning Elias. They battled at Hell in a Cell where Elias emerged victorious, albeit via disqualification as Hardy smashed Elias with a guitar. It was clear that the company wanted neither Superstar to take a loss.
