In an interview with Raute Musik prior to the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view, WWE SmackDown Live superstar Jeff Hardy discussed several topics, including being given the green light to use face paint on WWE television again.
“I think right when I came back from rotator cuff surgery Michael Hayes or somebody asked, ‘hey do you want to paint your face again?’ I was like, ‘Yeah! Of course, I do! I’d love to! So I guess the whole thing winning the United States Championship and heading forward it was like, ‘maybe we’ll let him do his own thing since he’s not with Matt.’ Because I asked several times with Matt and they wouldn’t let me do it on TV, I just did it at the live events. It was kinda weird. I think it’s one of those things that’s definitely better to do when I’m doing my singles stuff.”
