USA Today's Josh Barnett interviewed Karl Anderson about his first year in World Wrestling Entertainment today, which you can read by clicking here. Interesting to note that none of the Raw Tag Team championship competitors knew that Matt and Jeff Hardy were returning and would be in their match until just "a few hours" before Wrestlemania and they were all happy when they found out.
On the Hardys, Anderson noted, "At the end of the day, Jeff and Matt Hardy helped make the WWE tag team division what it is. The ladder tag team matches they had at WrestleMania in the past made those matches famous. Being in there at WrestleMania with Matt and Jeff Hardy was an honor in itself. It was a great moment to be part of and I’m glad we got that."
On his first year in the company and Luke Gallows' having been there being being beneficial, Anderson commented, "I think it absolutely helped. When we first got there, we both were nervous, but then we realized that we knew a lot of people. I knew more people than I thought. He’d been in that system and had a lot of old friends that he’d lost touch with. He ran into people who he knew who became my friends by way of association. … If you know Luke Gallows, he’s somebody that everybody loves. If you have something bad to say about Gallows, you’ve probably got your own enemies somewhere else."
