10 Fascinating Facts About WWE In 2017
4. The Hardy Boyz Fooled EVERYBODY!
Meanwhile, The Hardy Boyz were launching a comeback that'd both shock and delight the booming live crowd in Orlando. They stunned everyone by showing up to win the Raw Tag-Team Titles at WrestleMania 33. 24 hours earlier, Matt and Jeff worked vs. The Young Bucks on an ROH pay-per-view in Florida.
Both brothers denied that they’d be re-signing with WWE during the lead-up to 'Mania season, and Jeff even lied about never doing any physical tests with the company. The Hardys then stayed put at their hotel before sneaking out and being ferried to the venue for ‘Mania after the show had kicked off; they arrived shortly before being introduced.
In a cool moment, the siblings had even pretended to friends that they were simply exhausted from the ROH ladder match and needed a nap. Both retreated to their rooms, got in contact with WWE, then snuck out to go win some tag gold in front of 70,000+.
Hardly anybody predicted this, which made the moment even more special.
