When you look back at the greatest moments in WWE last year, it's safe to say that the long awaited (yet still shocking) return of The Hardy Boyz at WrestleMania 33 tops the list. What was especially cool about it was that it was more than just moment: it kicked off a pretty hot run on Raw for the men who had held the TNA and ROH World Tag Team Championships mere months earlier.

Not only did they capture the Raw Tag Team Championship in their first bout back in an awesome Ladder match, Matt and Jeff went on to contest a stellar series of match-ups with Sheamus and Cesaro over the summer, including an Iron Man match at Great Balls of Fire.

Unlike The Dudley Boyz, they didn't fade away and classify themselves as obsolete once their time in the title picture was done. Instead, they mixed it up with The Revival as well as Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows for a few weeks before chasing the Intercontinental Championship.

Unfortunately, Jeff's injury has put him on the shelf until WrestleMania season, but it has allowed Matt to revitalize his career once again by bringing his "Broken" persona to WWE.
