Hardy wants long run against The Usos
Matt Hardy is once again in possession of tag-team gold after winning the SmackDown straps with his brother Jeff last week, but has confirmed he would like to have a long run of matches against the team they defeated, The Usos.
"They are an amazing, incredible tag team, better than I even thought they were going to be," he said in a video posted on his YouTube account. "And Usos I gotta tell you this: you get all the respect from Matt and Jeff, all the respect, take it all, you get it all.
"But promise me this: I hope that on Raw and SmackDown on Monday and Tuesday I hope no one's drafted. I hope the Hardys don't go to Raw, I hope the Usos don't go to Raw, because I hope we, Usos, can do this again, and again, and again, and again, and again.
"We want another match; and then a two-out-of-three falls match; and then an Iron Man match; and then a cage match; and then a ladder match; and then a table match; and then a TLC match. Let's do it all, man, let's run the gauntlet."
