10 Things We Learned From WWE 24 The Hardys: Woken

By 2011, Matt had entered a relationship with Reby Sky. Little did he know that she would be the guiding light he needed to sort out drug problems that were spiraling out of control.

After being arrested and sent to rehab, Matt seemed determined to kick old habits and get his life back on track. According to Reby in the documentary, she knew he wasn't quite ready or mentally strong enough to rehab properly. That's why, when Matt was caught drinking and booted from rehab, she wasn't too surprised.

Hearing Matt talk about going into another patient's room in the rehabilitation centre and watching him pull a bottle of whisky from a ceiling compartment is rather eye-opening. Again, this isn't the kind of thing you'd expect to hear on a WWE-produced film.

Reby, to her credit, stuck by Matt and convinced him to give rehab another shot. To this day, he considers her an angel for keeping on him and never giving up when it might've been easier to wash her hands of him.
