During the most recent episode of his podcast, “The Extreme Life of Matt Hardy,” AEW star Matt Hardy discussed the adjustments that he would make to the way that steel cage matches are done.
Over the course of their history, these matches have developed in a variety of different ways. When asked what aspects of the match type he would change, Hardy responded that he would eliminate the possibility of winning the match by escaping through the cage door.
“I’m okay with escaping the cage, but the one thing I would definitely remove is that you can go through the door. I’ve hated that rule since day one,” said Matt. “It’s super anticlimactic. [The fact that] you can walk out the door and step on the floor is boring. If you’re going to do it and say you can escape the cage and win, then you have to go over the top of the cage. So that way, it adds some excitement to the match.”
